The Wednesday Roundup

Original Glazed has a new blog - The Beat Review. Check out this post on the video for Keane's new single "Spiralling."

Both Chewing Gum For Ears and Snob's Music sound off on Ben Folds' new release Way To Normal.

Test Pilots has a post on poet/musician George Pringle. She is very interesting and I have spent the last day learning all I can about her.

The Wednesday Roundup

My favorite post of the week belongs to The Tape. Gabriel recalls when he first heard The Postal Service and provides similar artists to check out.

I was turned onto Miniature Tigers after checking out the Cannibel Queen mp3 link posted at Snob's Music.

Over at The Panic Manual is a good concert review of James and Phoenix Theatre with accompanying James mp3 to listen to while reading.

Weheartmusic has a good article on Mason Proper.

Happy Reading.

The Wednesday Roundup on Thursday (stay with me people)

My sincere apologies to those who have joined me on my voyage into the deep waters of indie music. I recently started going back to school and it has required more time than I would like.

This week we have a great review on Mother Mother's release "O My Heart" at Chewing Gum For The Ears. The review and the few tracks on their myspace page have peaked my curiosity.

Snob's music has the link to listen to the streaming of The Cold War Kids newest album "Loyalty to Loyalty" due out Sept. 23rd.

Test Pilots has a good review on the new release by Marnie Stern. Nice music. We are blessed to live in a day and age with so many badass female musicians.

Butch Walker is back. The Dead Hub reports "BUTCH WALKER TO RELEASE SYCAMORE MEADOWS IN NOVEMBER"

There are so many great posts this week. Take some time to peruse my blogroll

The Wednesday Roundup

As a side note, I have been spending hours listening to music released this week and I have been impressed. Look forward to several reviews coming up.

For you Ra Ra Riot Canadian fans check out Andrew Maury's account of the kickoff of their Canadian tour.

Chewing gum for the ears has an extensive review on Calexico's release "Carried To Dust." This is one of the albums out this week that I have enjoyed.

TO Snob reports that Travis will be releasing their latest album "An Ode To J. Smith" on September 29th in the UK. They have already released a new video for one of its tracks.

Weheatmusic has a good podcast on music news, band interview and book reviews,

The Weekly Fizz is an interesting blog I stumbled onto that covers all things soda. As an avid soda drinker I am grateful for their contributions.

The Wednesday Roundup (formerly known as the incorrectly punctuated Wednesday Round-Up)

I must preface this by saying I do not have a crush on Allan's world and there is no sex scandal. They just post really great stuff. Yesterday included a review of Death Cab for Cutie guitarist and producer Chris Walla's album Field Manual released this February. While it didn't get the best rating I love all things DCFC. Check out Walla's voice and see if it sounds like anyone you know.

Over at Chewing Gum for the Ears is a great review on Bloc Party's new album. I know that I already wrote my own, but this review makes me envious. I wish The Captain had some of the writing talent displayed on this blog.

The Vault had a post covering the arrest of a blogger for steaming the Guns N' Roses album. This makes the Roundup with the line -

"Of more immediate concern to GNR fans -- who, amazingly enough, still exist -- is the loss of access to the only new music the band has produced in the past 15 years."

The Wednesday Round-Up

Over at Allan's World, Joe gives a in-depth review of a Paramore show that included Paper Route, Phantom Planet, and Jack’s Mannequin. The post includes many insights into these bands including a critique of Phantom Planet's revamped sound.

The Music Guru continues to give a comprehensive list of album releases each week. He does a lot of leg work and has become my resource for lesser-known releases.

Original Glazed is a good source for a summary of the UK and US charts. Pardon me for being sickened that the UK has bands like The Script, Coldplay and Noah and the Whale in their top ten albums while in the US we have The Jonas Brothers (two albums even!), Miley Cyrus and Sugarland.

Over at The Cheap Pop we have a review snippet for Lykke Li (my new music crush along with Ra Ra Riot).
