What Am I Listening To? (1/22/12)

Hey guys,its that time again! Time to show you guys what i'm listening to and enjoying this week! And from this point forward,I'll let you guys do the searching on these songs because it takes forever to add the links and I'm a lazy bastard,haha.

First up is "Where Is My Mind" by The Pixies,a late 80's rock song that has always been one of my favorites. Also this week,I've been digging several remixes and covers of this wonderful song. The best covers in my opinion are the ones done by Kings of Leon (they performed it throughout their 2011 tour) and Brittish rockers Placebo. Both versions add their own flair to the original,and i've also really been enjoying Bassnectar's remix of this song. Something about the remix just sounds so right and makes the song sound modern. Of course,NOTHING will ever top the original!!!!

Continuing the trend for 90's rock,we have 2 songs from some of the pioneers of modern emo music and alternative. This band would be Sunny Day Real Estate,if you've never heard of them,then well...your probably not very old! The tracks I've been playing alot this week are "In Circles" and "Seven" which are both off of their debut album "Diary". Def take the time to look them up!!

Let's get back to present day music,shall we? Next on my list is "Comeback Kid", the new single from noise pop group Sleigh Bells (new album in March,yeeeee!!!). This is def what I wanted to hear from the band (disappointed in the albums first single) and its energy and use of guitars is just amazing.

The Ting Tings are finally back with a new single and a new album! (which will drop in late March) This Brittish pop rock duo released their debut album "We Started Nothing" in 08 (you may know them for their hits "Thats Not My Name" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go") and the name of their new single is "Hands". While not as great as their old material,this is still a solid track and I suggest you guys check it out,as I still have high hopes for the rest of the album.

D.R.U.G.S. (Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows) have a new song out titled "Scream If Your Crazy",showing that their still producing new music even with the recent loss of their bassist. If your a Craig Owens fan,you won't be dissapointed.

Last on my list this week (short list I know,sorry), we have a song that alot of you guys will hate me for liking. Its incredibly stupid,full of cliche and idiotic lyrics that are about the same thing as every other pop song these days, (sex dance music pop bottles etc) but Dev knows what shes doing by constantly teaming up with The Cataracs. "Booty Bounce" is an older single of hers that I just recently heard,which came out before she was featured in "Like a G6" and her own hit single "In the Dark" (the latter of the 2 of which I consider myself a fan). Sory guys,its catchy and for some reason I can't resist it!

Until next time guys,peaceeeeeee!!!
