Welcome Back... Again

In the words of one of Britney Spears's several songwriters "It's Been Awhile..." No I'm not here to break the ice, but re-up the blog instead. I promised myself I'd be a work machine this last month, and now that the uncomfortable "I'm new" period is conquered, I can finally relax a little, write a little, get my tune on. Until I get my second job. He-yo!

Things seem to be status quo; I'm overwhelmed with new music as usual, so here's just a little mix of my current heavy rotation to ease us back in. If you can spot which songs are a result of new television shows then you are amazing. Or have no life. Sometimes the two go hand in hand, don't they?

Black Kids - I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance (Twelves Remix) [ysi]
Marcelo D2 - Meu Samba e Assim [ysi]
Ratatat - One [ysi]
Atmosphere - Shoulda Known [ysi]
I plan on giving you my top ten reasons to buy "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" The album just dropped on April 22 and it's amazing. Go out and buy a physical copy though, there's so much extra/bonus content then what itunes offers.

The Cool Kids - I (Mikey) Rock [ysi]
I can't wait for these guys to release an album. They need a little more lyrical flow work, but beats and originality are offered up in spades.
Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes [ysi]
The Kooks - Always Where I Need to Be [ysi]
Also an amazing new album. Just try and resist the dance-ability of this record.
The Kills - Sour Cherry
The only track that's actually from television - I lied about there being a lot. Can you guess which guilty pleasure show span this record for its latest promos? It was also recently featured as the free song of the day on a certain public radio podcast download.
AA Bondy - Black Rain, Black Rain [ysi]
Cut Copy - Lights and Music [ysi]
THE most talked about band out there right now. Stellar follw-up...
