Vote to put 'Wheelchair Werewolf' on Comedy Central
You may remember our previous post featuring the comical slasher short, Wheelchair Werewolf. Apparently, we weren't the only ones impressed by the vid's ability to make us laugh. In fact, you can now vote on atom.com to get it broadcast on Comedy Central.
James Morrison - 'Nothing Ever Hurt Like You'
Now, this guy has some talent! While this early-twentysomething known as James Morrison became a sensation over in the UK a while back, it was only recently that I was turned on to this soulful crooner.Stream my new favorite song, 'Nothing Ever Hurt Like You' below:
The Hold Steady - 'Lord, I'm Discouraged'
Coconut Records - 'West Coast'

Want to Know Why We Haven't Been Updating?
Recently, we've had a couple of our posts, featuring non-downloadable streams of some of our favorite songs, taken down by our blog host. Because our blog is hosted by a third party, we were provided no notice.
Apparently, the problem isn't isolated. Drowned in Sound recently posted this, journaling the phenomenon. With that said, we're evaluating the direction the blog shall go into the future.
Thanks for your patience.

The Dead Trees - 'Shelter'

Here is the new single from The Dead Trees, a quartet based out of Portland, Oregon. 'Shelter' begins as a slacker rock tune, but as soon as the chorus arrives and the vocals kick in, the song is taken to a whole new level. (Think John Lennon's splitting voice box on 'Twist and Shout'). Simply, the song kicks!
You can stream 'Shelter' below, or you can access the mp3 directly from the band's label here.

Beck - 'Gamma Ray'
'Gamma Ray' is probably one of Beck's hippest and catchiest songs to come out in awhile. To be sure, it is one of my favorite cuts from Modern Guilt.Stream 'Gamma Ray' below:

Radiohead Live in Concert: NPR Music Podcast
If I could get away with just linking to National Public Radio music articles all day, I might. But posting on this one was simply beyond my control.
NPR's Bob Boilen takes us back to Radiohead's August 28th concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl in California for a 2-hour performance of epic proportions.
The band brilliantly showcases it's latest effort, In Rainbows, while scouring it's extensive catalog for old favorites and deep tracks alike. Every song manages to sound meticulously practiced, yet completely spontaneous. Decade-old singles are rejuvinated as if being played for the first time.
The result is a spectacularly atmospheric retrospect of the band's career, and NPR's live recording of the show captures the quality and sheer intimacy of the moment.
Boilen compares the show to the first time he saw Pink Floyd perform Dark Side of the Moon, saying, "Radiohead's show at the Santa Barbara Bowl came as close for musicianship and creativity as any show I've seen in 37 years. I've seen a lot of shows."
You can stream and download the entire experience for yourself by clicking here! And I highly suggest you do so!
