Andrew Jackson Jihad – “Back Pack”
I like honesty in songwriting, especially when that honesty is obscene and unpopular. I like to think that I am obscene and unpopular (I’M JUST NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, NOM SAYIN’? THAT’S NOT HOW I WAS PRO-GRAMMED, NOM SAYIN’? IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT TOUGH LUCK, NOM SAYIN’?), so when songs do it it makes me feel good. I like songs that make me feel good.
I think I forgot how to write the blogs.

Chateaubriand - “The Sunset (ft. Destronics)’”
I’m currently reading works by one of the founding fathers of Romanticism, François-René de Chateaubriand. What a happy coincidence.

I guess this is what I imagine Cassie would sound like if she was produced by Drake producer 40. Ferren, much like Cassie, never sounds like she’s trying to hard, never oversinging, and always making it work.

The instrumentation of old Chinese records is sick. I’m glad that someone figured it out and decided to make some beats with them.

Miniature Tigers - “Boomerang”
Judging by this first single and the first music video off Mia Pharoah, the new Miniature Tigers album will be much more fun and danceable than their previous work.

The first new song from The Shins since 2007 plays like something off of Wincing the Night Away, with an upbeat rhythm and bright guitar that provides the perfect soundtrack for this 50 degree January day in Chicago. And even though the only remaining member from the original Shins line-up is James Mercer, the melodic guitar-pop remains as catchy as ever.
The Shins are also part of a recently-released, stacked Coachella 2012 bill.
