What The Cool Kids Are Listening To This Week (March 29, 2014 Edition)

Band of Skulls - Himalayan (LP) - Remember that song Sweet & Sour that you liked so much a couple years ago? This is that band's new album. I always like it when bands manage to produce new music that sounds like some lost treasure from 1973....

Black Lips - Underneath The Rainbow (LP) - Bubble-Garage at its best

The Dead Weather (feat Jack White & Alison Mosshart) - Open Up (That's Enough) & Rough Detective (singles) - A new album/tour coming soon?

Damon Albarn - Clint Eastwood (live at SXSW 2014, You Tube), Lonely Press Play (single) - The Blur/Gorillaz genius strikes again....

The Hold Steady - The Bear & The Maiden Fair (single, from Game of Thrones, Season 3, You Tube), Teeth Dreams (LP), Rags (EP) - one of the top rock bands in America rears its beautiful head... How many bands feature a great, nerdy, funny, brilliant singer and TWO great guitarists (uh, three when Craig plays too)? Only one band, that's right, The Hold freakin' Steady.... They're Ba-ack.....

Kaiser Chiefs - Education, Education, Education & War (LP) - one of England's top bands. Apparently, the music I like can easily chart in England, whereas in America, they are regulated to CMJ-land....

Manchester Orchestra - Cope (LP) - great band

MGMT - Lucifer Sam (live Pink Floyd cover, Live on Fallon, You Tube) - instant classic

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Wigout at Jagbags (LP) - The Pavement frontman is back with a great new album/tour with The Jicks, the fun-est working band in show business today...

The Strypes - What A Shame (live on Letterman, You Tube) - Irish teen blues-rockers extraordinaire

Wolfmother - New Crown (LP) Aussie Metal.... but good
