The Decemberists: The King Is Dead!
$5 Dollar Albums From Amazon MP3
Ok, I’ll admit it…this blog has been a little….umm…stagnant lately. But I found something worth blogging about today when my coworker Eric showed me a site he’s been working on: fivespot. The concept is really simple: he posts albums that are for sale for $5 in the Amazon MP3 store. Nice. Right? I wish I had thought of it. It’s updated each month (because Amazon’s $5 albums also rotate each month), so come back next month and give it a peep. Good stuff.
Thanks for the MEMORIES, Weezer!…and Johnny Knoxville
Great picture, Sean Murphy!
Hey NERDS!
Good news! Our favorite band that still houses their homepage on mySpace, WEEZER, has just plopped (thanks, Doug Benson) their new video for their latest single, Memories. I originally began this post believing I would be posting a CATS-cover but after listening to the below clip, realized that I was mistaken.
Nevertheless, the song is quite good. There has been speculation that Green Day has become the new U2 (with American Idiot being their course-changing Joshua Tree), but if that holds true, what is Weezer? I lean towards R.E.M. They will always be there and always put out great music and their fans will find and love them, but there love for the mainstream has waned.
Oh yeah, and they both put characters from LOST on their album covers and the guys from Jackass in their videos. And Michael Stipe sings back up for rappers. The comparisons are endless.
