What's wrong with bein' preppy?
Rogue Wave's "Good Morning"
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Up to this point, all we've had on Rogue Wave's fourth album is a tracklist, a release date (do we really have to wait until March 3rd?), and a title (Permalight). Well, now we have "Good Morning". Rock:
Btw: The band has made this track available as a free download. Booyah. Read more...
Coming Soon... 2010
Saturday, January 2, 2010
2009 was undoubtedly a great year for music - 2010 is looking like it may trump that easily. Apparently, releases from consistently great bands (Spoon, The National, Pinback, Broken Social Scene, Minus the Bear), long-overdue returns (The Wrens, Sufjan Stevens, The Rapture, Dr. Dre), highly-anticipated sophmore releases (Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Battles, Fleet Foxes), and, yeah, maybe even some new Radiohead (!) await us. Of course, it's day 2 of the new year, and a lot can (and will) happen in the next 12 months. But there's no harm in hoping, right?
It's obviously not an all-inclusive list, but these are some of the releases (confirmed and unconfirmed) coming in 2010 that we're most excited about. They range from the pretty concrete (Release Date, Artwork, Tracklist, etc.) to whispers in the wind. But it's all in good fun. Also, scroll further down for some of our favorite tracks from 2010 that have already been released into the wild.
Another note: Along with 2010 comes a new layout for this place. The old one didn't allow for comments for some reason; hopefully this new look remedies that. So we encourage you to leave behind your own input. Anything we left off the list? Let us hear about it! Otherwise, enjoy:

Tyler's 2009 Lists
Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Ok, so I'm gonna list off the 20 albums I enjoyed from this year and then follow it up with a list of my top 25 tracks from 2009. Only 20 albums because, honestly, I find it frustrating to find five more that I can truly say that I enjoyed and can listen the whole way through. I will go ahead and use those five I didn't use and replace them with a list of 2009's worst. Now I'm not gonna lie, there are some definite similarities among Ryan's, Kyle's, and my lists but that's what happens sometimes when you've come from the same musical womb. I was just gonna go ahead and name my lists "The Situation" but unfortunately somebody already has that nickname. Lucky dude.
