Here’s a mix to celebrate all that stuffing you’re chompin’ on today.
..not that this music really has anything to do with Thanksgiving.

Probably one of my favorite bands, Cut Copy has ruled the electronic/rock scene since 2004 with their debut release of Bight Like Neon Love. Ever since then they have road pretty low on the radar. The trio is from Australia and is working with Tim Goldsworthy from DFA on their followup album due out in February 2008. The first two singles of the upcoming album, In Ghost Colours, have been ‘Hearts on Fire’ and ‘So Haunted’. These tracks are both great in my eyes, but I think it’s time to spread the wealth off the first album.

After seeing the Darjeeling Limited over the weekend it became clear that the music Wes Anderson chooses for his movies, make the movies. I went on an Anderson binge over the weekend, watching the Royal Tenenbaums twice, seeing his new movie, and now I’m here waiting for my friend across the hall to let me borrow Bottle Rocket from him.
What’s so great about Wes’ style? How can a slow motion image of Adrian Brody running to catch a train make you instantly grin when the music comes in? (’This Time Tomorrow’ by the Kinks) Or in the Royal Tenenbaums when Margot gets off the green line bus to meet Richie and the film slows down? (’These Days’ by Nico) It’s simply awesome music choice.

While the rest of you are recovering from the Strokes third attempt at and album (okay that was a little rough), it’s time to check out what Albert Hammond, Jr. has been up to in the solo department. Man, so much solo work lately. His album, Your to Keep, dropped last year but I just recently got around to getting ahold of it. And, what I hear I’m liking. It’s so reminiscent of The Strokes’ sound, but taken a new way. In some places the vocal may be a little over the top, but I’m not complaining too much.
‘In Transit’ shines in my opinion. It’s the kind of classic song that needs to be played on that good day when you get back from classes, or on that feelin’ good-walk to class. It’s the second track on the album but not the only good gem. ‘Bright Young Thing’ and ‘Call an Ambulance’ definitely stand out in my opinion.
