The Futureheads - The Chaos

The Futureheads - The Chaos

This is their new one which was just released last spring. Great four part harmonies sung over glitchy punk rock jams. I'm a fan of everything this band has done, but this isn't their best album, it's good but not great (and that artwork, woof). This is the Japanese version with two bonus tracks that are some of the most straight-up punk songs the band has ever recorded. Last year the band also released a Christmas single, "Christmas Was Better In The 80's" which is one of the best Christmas songs I've ever heard. So as an added bonus here is that single, it's three minutes of pure pop heaven.

Girl Talk - All Day

Girl Talk - All Day

Whenever my family would go on trips/long car rides my Dad would always blast music, mostly Creedence and Phil Collins, but for one fleeting moment during the summer of 1989 all he played was his Jive Bunny cassette. Jive Bunny was two DJs who took swing, jazz and early rock, spliced them together into a cohesive song and held it all together with synthesized beats. When I hear Girl Talk all I can think of is Jive Bunny, It is Jive Bunny for hipsters. That being said I can't get enough of the man's work. It is so much fun to listen to that you'd have to be a real doucher to not like this. All Day is instant party starter and you'll be knee deep in gash if you bump this shit during your next soiree. REAL TALK.
