NEW MUSIC IN 2007

Bloc Party, "A Weekend In The City" if you have ever heard a Bloc Party song, you are glad they are finally back. If not, your not the music genuis you think you are! their previous album "Silent Alarm" had great alternative hits like "Banquet", "So Here We Are", and even "Pioneers" Which got itself on The Oc. Now they are back and are living up to their reputation, talking about the desfunction of society with a good beat to accompany. 3 out of 5

"Hunting For Witches" - has a desfuncitonal computer, which nylon magazine says they were aiming for, and a beat that imeditly wants to make you dance. With lyrics like "I'm sitting on the roof of my house/ with a shotgun". I belive it is symbolism how society singles out the people who are diffrent. Which back in the day would lead people to thinking your a witch.

"Uniform" - The Pace for this song is a little slower but it is worth the download. This song i belive is about how alot of people look the same. With the opening line of "there was a sense of dissapointment as we left the morgue/ all the young people look the same". So download this song about wearing masks, being handsome and being bored.

"Song For Clay (Dissapear Here)" - Great vocals in this ballad starting song, about trying to be heroic but being hollow. It has a great shift in music, which seems like a mood changes only threw gutairs.

"SRXT" - this song depresses the hell out of me, with sad music and lyrics about takeing down posrters and "i called ugene/ and told him im drowing". Listen to this song and hear about what makes the upbeat band sad.

Modest Mouse - "We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank" I know having them back at the same time as bloc party is going to be a good thing, although I've only heard one song. It seems they are the same old them, if not a little more upbest music wise. DON'T KNOW THEM !? YES YOU DO THEY SANG "FLOAT ON" on thier cd "Good News For People Who Love Bad News" 4 out of 5

"Dashboard" - This song is a upbeat, and head bop worthy. "well you told them about nowhere, but it seems like a place id want to go". GREATTTTT lyrics, download the single and see for yourself. It has an alternative chinese sound at a time, and great beat noise that provides some bass.


The Shins - "Wincing The Night Away" A Great band, returns with a great release this year. Unlike the other two bands on this list, I didn't like untill their release this year. Although I'm now looking at them in a whole new light. The singer who used to have trouble sleeping has now created a good album to play at the end of your day and think about all that you've done and want too. 3 out of 5

"Sleeping Lessons" - A soft song, that begins as if you are already asleep and can hear a voice talking to you. The the beat comes in like your heart beat, as he sings about "theres a thousand diffrent versions of your self". Then later the gutairs become more clear, and they are fantastic. "Just Put Yourself In My New Shoes/And See Why I Do What I Do". Its a great song, that says one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies "off with their heads".

"Turn On Me" - a song about fadeing affections, and i get the impression its somewhat about growing up.

"Australia" - this pace is the fastest ive heard, and it reminds me of my friend who came from austrila. It really is a soundtrack for rememberance. As he talks about dancefloors, andbeing a minute to late. "You Havn't Loved Since January"

Deerhoof - "Friend Opportunity" This is the band all the creative bands you know think are creative. This band has never created a hit, to be a hit. They do music for music sake, and are obscene and indepdent. Take a trip into this wierd world of what music can be.

"Kidz Are So Small" This song is so wierd, with a great electronic rock beat about how if she was a man, and you a dog, she throw a stick for you. Listen to possibly their most dancy song yet.

"Wither The Small Birds" This songs like a japenese ballad, sung by a cartoon preschool charachter. In a romance movie.

"The Perfect Me" A rocky march-esque song by this creative band, very upbeat. Makes me wanna mosh, and cry out at the same time. Although thats all on the inside of course.
