It’s been a while since I put up any music, but Jason’s recent post on The Killers reminded me of putting up some of the stuff I’ve been listening to that I’d label as ‘damn catchy.’ Yeah, the Killers are pretty good in the regard, but here’s some more:
- Rilo Kiley- Portions for Foxes (site) – I’ve mentioned this before, but hot damn this is a great song. Too bad that they decided to go major label. The new album comes out this week. (RIAA)
- Ted Leo and the Pharmacists – Me and Mia (site) – an entire album of great, crafted rock in the Costello, Strummer tradition. The new album is set to street October 19.
- The Futureheads – Meantime (site) – multi-vocal pop that works. Just too fun. Out now, Wea International (RIAA)
- Mirah – Don’t Die in Me (site)- a real album, really worth sitting down for.
- The Thermals – Remember Today (site) – you just sort of want to put all those kids listening to Sum 41 who just don’t know better and let them hear what some real great pop punk sounds like.
- The Faint – Desperate Guys (site) – one of the best of the of the 80’s *-wave revival, from those crazy Omaha kids. Pre-order now, September 14 release.
