Happy Birthday, Mormon Girl. Not sure how old you are today, but you don't look a day over 5 years younger than it. Enjoy those greasy-ass nachos.


Our pick this week comes to us from The Girl. She made me a CD and actually fretted over it, which is, you know, sort of sexy. She was worried I wouldn't like it (seriously, I'm not a music snob-Amanda, shut your face), but she did quite well and I liked it and only had 5 of the 19 songs. Good on ya, babe.

This was one of my favorite tracks and one we'll be hearing more from if the rest of their stuff holds as much promise as the few songs I've heard.

They have a good sound and Lynn, I think you'll like them if you don't already.

So, from North-east, England:

Maximo Park - "Questing, Not Coasting":




Bonus Tracks:

So untitled it is/I never change nothin'/But people remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids/With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit


Nas - "Hero"




Happy Birthday, Mormon Girl. You share a birthday with Bob Dylan (he wrote this song). How lucky he is. We all love you and sing this to you, but you know, more in key...

New Music Tuesday Vol.2

This week we have a video from the new Sean Penn movie "Into the Wild" starring Emile Hirsch (no idea).

INTO THE WILD is based on a true story and the bestselling book by Jon Krakauer. After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless (Hirsch) abandons his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters that shape his life.

The video is from the soundtrack performed by Eddie Vedder (again, no idea). Corrin Tucker (totally have an idea, and she's cute) who was, up until recently, the singer in Sleater-Kinney sings back-up. So, here you go, your new music for this week, this Eddie Vedder guy (sorry, I keep being obscure, I'll try harder next week).

Hard Sun- eddie vedder Feat . Corrin Tucker





Here's a bonus track. It was sort of an indirect request.

This band would probably be better if the lead singer wasn't so....homely. Boy needs a shave.
