Dum Dum Girls

Dum Dum Girls- "untitled" from the great pumpkin on Vimeo.


The start of 2010 is going to be pretty ridiculous with all of the great new music that is set to drop, but one band that is so far flying under the radar is scuzzy female fronted garage rockers Dum Dum Girls, who will be releasing their debut record I Will Be on Sub Pop in March. Above is a video from GvB of one of the prospective songs from the disc, with another below in MP3 form. I have a feeling you will be hearing their name a lot more as the year progresses.

Pizza Delivery Guy

A good reminder to check your pizza before the dude drives away with your cash.

Broken Bells

Ever wondered what Danger Mouse and James Mercer from the Shins would sound like? Apparently a lot of people also feel that same way about the new band, who work under the moniker Broken Bells. Well folks, it is time to find out. Click here, give them your email address and you ears will be graced with the sounds of these two fine gentleman's music with their first song "The High Road."

Tyson

While it did a good job of presenting a different side than we are used to seeing and did a adequate job of infusing a somber narrative arch to a story often seen as one dimensional (read: Crazy dude doing crazy stuff), Tyson just didn't do it for me.

No Concert is this good.

Best Songs of 2009

Culture Bully has a post with our favorite songs from the last year of the 00's. Check out the lists and give the songs a listen if they are new to you.

John Frusciante



Pitchfork reports that John Frusciante has left the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is a bummer. He definitely was my favorite member of a band that has slowly faded over the years and the one member that always made me think that they still could put out new, great material. If you haven't heard Frusciante's solo work, especially the really great To Record only Water for 10 Days, go back and check it out.

The video above is Frusciante performing To Record Only Water for 10 Days standout "Fallout."
