Margot & The Nuclear So and So's - "Skeleton Key"

I love love this song and just about every other song on the album. It's a solid album and will keep you awake every moment.

Catch them opening for South along with Something For Rockets at The Independent in San Francisco, CA on April 24th.

Band of Horses - "The Funeral"

Reminds me of The Shins, but more pop/rock. Personally, I enjoy it a lot more. Just released this past Tuesday (March 21st), pick up Band of Horses' latest album Everything All The Time today.

New Atlantic - "Late Night Television"

One of the new songs from this pop/rock band. Beautiful piano intro and voice.

The Flaming Lips' At War With The Mystics

The much-anticipated album from experimental, psychedelic rockers The Flaming Lips, which President Bush was the inspiration for this. The Flaming Lips are known for their crazy and highly entertaining live performances, which feature animal costumes.

"The W.A.N.D." was released back in January and is currently available on iTunes. "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song" will be the first single and will be commercially released on March 27th in the UK. The song was actually inspired by Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which The Flaming Lips did a cover of on a tribute album. Highlights include "The Sound Of Failure / It's Dark... Is It Always This Dark??", "My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion", and "It Overtakes Me/The Stars Are So Big, I Am So Small... Do I Stand A Chance?".

Islands' Return To The Sea

Montreal's indie music scene keeps getting better and better. Formed 2005, this band features ex-Unicorns members, Nick Diamonds and J'aime Tambeur, but The Unicorns do have its comparisons to the new band Islands. They've toured with Beck done a remix of his song, "Que Onda Guero", and now they are releasing their debut album off of Rough Trade in the UK and Equator Records in the US. Guest appearances on the album include Arcade Fire members and Arcade Fire is always a plus for me. "Rough Gem", the first track I heard from them, is fast paced with string plucking in the chorus. Other highlights include "Humans" and "Don't Call Me Whitney, Bobby".

Cover songs of Radiohead. One song that definitely stands out is Alex Greenwald and Mark Ronson's "Just".

White Rose Movement's Kick

What a stunning debut from the synth-pop five-piece from the UK that seems to draw inspiration from bands like Depeche Mode. With a name taken from a movement against Nazi Germany, you cannot resist getting out of your seat and start dancing with a John Cusack silently playing in the background. Their first single, "Girls In The Back" has 80s written all over it, well actually the entire album does. Other highlights include "Kick", "Alsatian", eerie "Deborah Carne", and "Cruella".

Don't miss their performance at this year's Coachella in Indio, CA on Saturday, April 29th.

The Secret Machines' Ten Silver Drops

"Space rock". I liked their last album and was excited to hear new material, but I have to say, I expected more from them this time around. There were moments on the album like harmonies in "All At Once (It's Not Important)", but overall it didn't spark my attention possibly because I've heard it all before not just from the US' Secret Machines, but from bands like Kasabian and Athlete. Highlights include "Alone, Jealous, and Stoned".

The Starting Line/Copeland/Gatsby's American Dream/Cartel/New Atlantic

The Starting Line Crowd

The Starting Line

Another 5-for-1 deal. What a night it was. It was sold-out and the line outside wrapped around so fans waited for doors to open in the rain. The thing about some of these bands is that you listen to their recordings so much that they sound exactly the same live. Like there's really nothing much special about their live shows, but then the sound is good. The Starting Line's sound was excellent as usual. The lighting for their set made the shitty venue, although definitely not as shitty as a certain other venue in town, look really good. They really gave what the crowd filled with many scenesters wanted. One song that got everyone going for sure was "Bedroom Talk", which includes lyrics like "I'm goin' to tear your ass up like we just got married cause you're all mine now". The lyrics are stupid, but it makes the song fun.

The crowd was crazy during their set. There's a crowd that likes to squeeze and push their way to the front a lot. It doesn't really make sense. If you want to be in the front, then arrive at the venue earlier. Haven't you learned anything from previous shows? And I'm sure you don't want to be kicked in the face by someone bigger than you.

Copeland wasn't a very exciting show. It's good that bands play live and sound great live, but stage presence wasn't that great. I didn't really get into their set that much. One band that does have great stage presence is Gatsby's American Dream. I'm not a really a fan of their music, but I enjoyed watching them. Their live performances outdo their recordings for sure.

Copeland

Cartel clearly has some teenyboppers. It must be because the lead singer is hot. These are all the new boybands, but without all the corny shit. Cartel was upbeat, but more pop than Gatsby's and got the crowd going. Cartel's music isn't that great. Songs that really pop out are "Say Anything (Else)" and "Honestly".

There's something about unknown/indie opening acts that make them so good. New Atlantic was a surprise. It's like many bands including Waking Ashland mixed into one to create an even better band soundwise. They've got a member that looks like he came straight from Waking Ashland and another member (a guitarist) that looks as if he were a "scientist". Did I mention that "scientists" were handsome? Although there's something about the lead singer Giovanni that bothers me, but he sounds like Melee and other than that they were good live and the recordings are just as good. And you can download some of them for FREE! Yes, indeed. Go to http://www.purevolume.com/newatlantic

Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab For Cutie/The Cribs

Franz Ferdinand (Memorial Auditorium/March 23, 2006. Credit: Me)

My shoes are fucked up because of the show. Waiting at 8am in the morning and standing in my new shoes while having blisters on my feet. Why do I even try to go through the pain? Anyways, the show wasn't THAT exciting. It had its moments. Franz Ferdinand was what I expected to be. Their show was highly entertaining and their incredible musicians, but their performance wasn't spectacular. The wait leading up to their performance ruined it. Although, I sure do love Scotsmen, especially ones that come from Glasgow. Anyways, the highlights of their show was when they played old hits like "Take Me Out" and "Michael", which really got the crowd going and they're two of my favorite songs from this mainstreamed band. A new member, which makes things confusing because I still do not know whether he is officially in the band or not, was introduced to the crowd. It's funny because the crowd still acted like teenyboppers. It's amazing how kids used to act like that towards boy bands and now they act like teenys when they see Ben Gibbard or Alex Kapranos.

Death Cab For Cute was eh. Like Franz Ferdinand, I got what I expected. Their performance was like how I thought it would be live. I was tired halfway into their set and was about to fall asleep. To tell you the truth, the music didn't make it any better either. I like Death Cab For Cutie, but I wouldn't call myself a true fan. It's just not my type of music. I prefer The Postal Service over Death Cab any day, but I do like DCFC's houses on stage.

Death Cab For Cutie

The highlight of the night was seeing UK band and "NME Award Winner" The Cribs. What a great live band. Most of the crowd had no idea who the hell they were, but it was nice to see people getting into their set. I definitely was. "HEY SCENESTERS! HEY! HEY SCENESTERS!" My friend swears one of the brothers was drunk especially with what he pulled off with his guitar. This was really an eclectic show. You've got a mainstream pop/rock band (Franz Ferdinand), an indie favorite (Death Cab For Cutie), and a popular indie rock band from the UK (The Cribs).

The Cribs (One of them)

What A Waste

'With all this Jessica and Nick chatter, I'd be remiss not to have some juice on ASHLEE SIMPSON. A pal of the singer tells me she's gone back into the studio to record a new single for a re-release of her current album, I Am Me. Why? I'm told that Interscope Records honcho JIMMY IOVINE is on a mission to turn the 21-year-old into the next GWEN STEFANI. "He has given her what he thinks is a sure pop hit," my source reports. "It's the first song she's recorded that she didn't write." The source says that Simpson is lucky that Stefani is pregnant. "Gwen isn't about to do anything right now, so Jimmy can work on Ashlee," the source says. "The album has done okay, but he wants to add this single to really have it take off."'

Source: http://insider.tv.yahoo.com/insidetrack/malkin/

Ashlee Simpson will never be the next Gwen Stefani. I have total respect, at this moment at least, for Jimmy Iovine, but I hope that really isn't his mission. C'mon, after all that's happened with Ashlee and how there's been people who've stated that Ashlee really can't sing. She can't be compared to Gwen. There will be one Gwen Stefani. And I didn't know that it was Jimmy's job as well to take care of Geffen artists even though I know Geffen and Interscope are affiliated.

Congrats To Interscope...

... for signing Interpol. They may not be my all-time favorite band, but they sure are a great band. They were previously on indie label, Matador. And previously as posted before, TV on the Radio was recently signed to Interscope. As an aspiring music business entrepreneur, I'm quite jealous. Although, I clearly don't give a shit about "My Humps".

JASHON & SOFIA'S FAMILY

Yes, I'm aware that I spelled Jason's name wrong. Here's a promotional still of Jason Schwartzman and Kirsten Dunst in the new Sofia Coppola directed film Marie-Antoinette, which will be released in theaters on October 13th in the US. I love how they're like one big happy family. Jason and Robert Schwartzman (Virgin Suicides) or shall I say Robert Carmine now, being Sofia's cousins. And Kirsten being one of Sofia's good friends and having starred in Virgin Suicides as well:
