I've been thinking 'bout something...

You'll never guess who this is, and they'd probably be the last people I would ever imagine would pay such great homage to The Blues Brothers...

But here it is, they're Thinking 'Bout Somethin and it's something perfectly fun for a late springtime jam.



Give up?

Think MmmBop.

Apparently those precocious Hanson brothers stuck to their guns long enough to grow up and have a fifth album put together. Not bad at all!

This time around, I think Ray Charles would likely approve.

On a blog sidenote:
I know, I know... It's been like a desert around here. So expect a a bunch of stuff in the next few days that I'd lined up the past month or two and never got around to post up. Call it a spring music dump, if you will.

Our love goes on as our hair grows long.

A few years back, Hellogoodbye got my attention with their brilliant electro-dance hit Here in Your Arms from their debut album, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! The rest of the album didn't do much for me, so I kinda assumed that might be it for me with these peppy Californians.

Well it turns out their sound is maturing a bit, and there may be more to this story yet. They have a new single out, I assume teasing an upcoming album. In the meantime you can score the When We First Met EP and Video for free on their website.

When We First Met is pretty darn good!



It almost makes me want to check out their show Nov. 3 at The Ogden. Too much going on though, and I think I left co-headliner Hanson back at MMMbop.
