Swoon


This coming Tuesday, we will have new music from LA's Silversun Pickups...finally. No, it hasn't been that long, but the more I listened to their debut disc, the more I wanted to hear MORE...and hear it NOW!

'Swoon' is the dreaded sophomore album...but after spinning it a few times, I don't think the word 'slump' could be applied to this record in any context. Here is one of my favorite tracks...enjoy:

* Silversun Pickups - 'It's Nice To Know You Work Alone' MP3

When I find myself missing The Smashing Pumpkins in their prime...


...I listen to Silversun Pickups. Especially The 'Pikul' EP. I can't wait for a new record from these guys...it can't happen soon enough!!!

Everybody loves break up songs: Episode 9


I apologize in advance to Silversun Pickups if 'Kissing Families' isn't actually a break up song, but the song found me at a time in my life rife with relationship drama.
One more than one occasion I cathartically screamed along to the lyric 'Thank GOD it's over.'

I just love the way this song builds and builds before finally erupting into that defiant statement...rock n roll brilliance.
