Monday Mystery Tour #3

Okay. so nobody took a stab at this one. I guess I understand. The new music that came out this week basically blanked my mind to. I couldn't even remember who I put on this mix. Luckily I wrote it down.
1. Cat Power - Hate
2. Deltron 3030- Positive Contact
3. Phoenix - Long Distance Call
4. American Analog Set - Gone To Earth
5. The National - Fake Empire

So this week hopefully someone takes a whirl on the 'ol MMT. I know I'm not offering much in terms of prizes. but you would get braggin' rights and an eternal spot on the sidebar of this sweet blog. Knock yourself out.

Monday Mix Down #3

New Nada Surf

As if this week wasn't already chocked full of great music, I just found out today that Nada Surf has officially announced the release of their next album entitled lucky. The release date is set for February 5, 2008. The album is produced by the band and John Goodmanson(Death Cab For Cutie, Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney) and feautures contributions from Ben Gibbard and Ed Harcourt. They also have made a free track available for download to give everyone an idea of what this album will sound like.
Nada Surf - See These Bones(from lucky)
If the whole album sounds like this I would be most pleased. The end of this song just kicks butt!
Here's the tracklist from the album:

Weightless
Whose Authority
Beautiful Beat
Here Goes Something
From Now On
I Like What You Say
Ice on the Wing
The Film Did Not Go 'Round
The Fox
Are You Lightning?
See These Bones

They are also on tour w/Sea Wolf as I mentioned a coupla days ago.

Mysterious Wolves Of The Sea

While temporarily engulfed with the beautiful music of Radiohead, I some how managed to come up to the surface and remember that there is some other music being produced these days. And hey this music ain't half bad either. Sea Wolf's frontman Alex Brown Church is mysterious fellow it seems. Or at least that's what comes across in Sea Wolf's music for me. This is music to sit on the porch of an old cabin by the mountainside while gazing into the light fog hanging there down in the valley. Not really Friday music, but quite possibly good Sunday morning music.
