ampere - all our tomorrows end today
ampere is one of the most intense live bands i have ever seen, the two times i saw them the highlight of the show for me was when they played "woodlawn" which continues to be my favorite song by them. ampere is a super group with ex members of a bunch of bands (the guitar player was in orchid!) so from the get go they have had a pretty big following and many releases and splits, this is their first EP and is gnarly as fuck. enjoy!

roboteer - collections
roboteer was from tally florida and consisted of ex members of panda and this tragic hero. these are some of the nicest dudes i have ever met and honestly have played some of the most amazing shows i have ever been witness to. their last show i saw was at the jiyuna reunion show a few years back, they went on before jiyuna and closed with their song "hooverville" off their split with merkit, my god the room blewup with emotion and yelling, "its so worthless," i dont think anything could top that except jiyuna's "saltwater" chorus. this is their demo, live set, and unreleased song as posted by dav via his livejournal, thanks dav! enjoy everyone.
thee oh sees - sucks blood
ive said this many times but ill say it again, john dwyer is a god among men. this is a post for a friend who wanted this cd and coudlnt find it anywhere, so enjoy another later release from the san fancisco crew that i enjoy so fucking much.
thursday - common existence
this is the new thursday album that comes out in february, it has some of the songs from the envy split on it that i think are some of their best songs since full collapse. im not a huge thursday fan but i will say that there is some good songs in here. enjoy this one early!

coconut records - davy
jason schwartzman has done it again, while he continues to be one of my favorite actos in such golden films as rushmore and i heart huckabees, his singing career has always been something i have enjoyed. his previous album has some great tracks on it and im hoping this one will too. i just got this myself so if it sucks, i am sorry. but common, he was max fischer, max fucking fischer.

paul baribeau - selftitled
Paul Baribeau is a solo folk artist who rips it up like no other. his simple lyrics and driving guitar really capture his emotions and really makes you understand what he is trying to express. his songs range from love songs, to his ode to his favorite local band growing up, to the struggles of life. i met this fine gentleman two times and both times he was so kind and hugged me with his grizzly beard and a smile on his face. one of my favorite songs of all time is "never get to know" which talks about the struggles of caring for people who you love and being hurt by them but doing your best to never let them down, its powerful and brings tears to my eyes. this shit owns.

bus driver - fear of a black tangent
bus driver is one of the most insane current voices in hiphop today in my opinion. he raps as fast as dose one but with the street smarts and hooks of aesop rock. his flow is sick and his lyrics are amazing and true. lots of good memories driving around listening to this cd, puts nothing but a smile on my face and a sway in my step.

i have dreams - demo
a group of friends lost someone very important to them and to help deal with the loss process they started a band in dedication of him, the end result being the florida based emo violence project i have dreams. five highly emotional songs about loss and having someone change their lives for the better. this band makes me so happy, i can only hope that when i die something as amazing could happen for me, then again ill never know.

kids like us - outta control
while their lyrics might not be the best, and their songs kinda silly. kids like us is just one of those bands that you can turn up all the way in your speakers and yell along to with all your friends and enjoy. best line ever "tell your friends, klu asshole attack", that never gets old.
