Updates on all of the latest tunes to listen for on WPGU have moved from my blog, All Shook Down, to exactly here. My name is Matt, and I am the Music Director for PGU. Feel free to share your thoughts about how you think we’ve been sounding lately, what you’d like to hear more of, and really anything else you want to tell us. Thanks for listening and here’s the new stuff!

Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart - A definite step away from the songwriting mold of Plans, Death Cab’s new single backs up the band’s claim that their upcoming album moves in new directions. After Gibbard’s fairly weak solo efforts over the last year, I had begun to fear that the well had run dry - not so. This song attempts to be catchy and deep at the same time, and fans of the band will definitely see this song as a great reason to be excited for the new album, Narrow Stairs, which will be released in May.

The Raconteurs - Salute Your Solution - This new song from the Raconteurs is just as cool and interesting as the songs that first gained this band widespread attention - not that they were ever hurting for publicity. Jack White’s energy seems to be doubled when he’s writing for this band. This song definitely pays homage to vintage rock bands, but in a remarkably fresh way. You won’t need to wait to get your hands on this new album - it came out last Tuesday.

Also listen for:
Poney Poney - Cross the Fader
Kate Nash - Pumpkin Soup
