This week’s album is Passover by The Black Angels. It’s a great rock album to listen to while you’re driving. Be careful though, you might start to speed without realizing it. Check it out under the cut.

Music Monday – Florence & the Machine
On March - 29 - 2010
Florence + the Machine consists of Florence Welch’s powerful, soulful vocals and backing from a variety of different musicians. The album “Lungs” is an emotionally intense effort, ranging from the angry kick of “Kiss with a Fist” to the passionate love song of “You’ve Got the Love” (which was later made into an excellent remix by the xx; also worth checking out). “Soul” is a word that would easily attach itself to the music of Florence + the Machine, and some of the tracks are very blues-y. Similar to Marina & the Diamonds and My Brightest Diamond. They also get compared to Bat For Lashes, but I don’t see the similarities as strongly there. Check it out under the cut.
Music Monday – Liars
On March - 22 - 2010
Liars tends to change up their sound a little bit on every album they release, and 2006′s Drum’s Not Dead was definitely different. It wasn’t as straight -up rock as their previous releases, it was a little more weird. It’s a great album, check it out under the cut.
Music Monday – B.R.M.C.
On March - 15 - 2010
Is it a bad idea to post my favorite Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album first if I plan to post more? Well, maybe it is. Regardless, Take Them On, On Your Own is a fantastic album that should definitely be heard. The version on Lala is especially awesome because it contains tracks the regular CD release didn’t have, like the great “High/Low”. Check it out under the cut.
Music Monday – The Mars Volta
On March - 8 - 2010
Though they have ‘fallen off’ a little bit recently, The Mars Volta used to be a very strong and wild band. This, Deloused in the Comatorium, their first full-length album, is proof of that. Things did get a little wilder after this album, but this is definitely one of their best. This is a recommended headphone listen for sure. And, for RHCP fans, Flea plays bass on this album.
Music Monday – Cave In
On March - 1 - 2010
I’ve said this before; I love Cave In. They’re one of my all-time favorite bands. This was Cave In’s fourth full length album. It was their second space-rock album and first and only album for RCA. After releasing this they toured with the Foo Fighters and were more popular than ever before. I don’t know any Cave In fan that would claim this to be their favorite of all of their albums, but it’s still very solid. Music player under the cut
Music Monday – Air
On February - 22 - 2010
This week’s music is the great 2004 album Talkie Walkie by Air. That’s supposedly not women singing on those tracks. It’s thin French men. I don’t understand why they’re wearing leather gloves on the album cover either.
Music Monday – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
On February - 8 - 2010
It’s that time again. This weeks album is Dig! Lazarus Dig! by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. This album is really great. The first track is so catchy and infectious. You’ll be singing it or humming the tune later on for sure. Music player under the cut.
Music Monday – These Arms are Snakes
On February - 1 - 2010
It’s Music Monday again and for this week’s album I present These Arms are Snake’s 2004 album Oxeneers or The Lion Sleep When Its Antelope Go Home. Music Player under the cut.
Music Monday – Beach House
On January - 25 - 2010
This post comes later in the day than I wanted it to. Every Monday from now on I’d like to post an album that I think everyone should check out. This week’s album is Beach House’s 2008 album Devotion. The songs are under the cut.
