Hot Splash! 2006
| I totally flaked out over the new year and failed to put together a new sampler for you. I figured I'd try to make it up to you by putting together another playlist for you, with some of the bands that most interest me right now. You can listen to each track one by one using the jukebox below, or if you like, you can download the whole compilation by clicking here. As always, let me know what you think. Word. |

| Arctic Monkeys Fake Tales of San Francisco UK : Sheffield |
I rarely agree with NME, but if you don't have 'Beneath The Boardwalk' in your collection, shame on you. If were local to Sheffield I'd say "Fook'n brilliant mate - it's right fook'n ace." But I'm not, so instead I'll put on $100 dollar headphones and mow the lawn with serious "piss-off" attitude. |  |
| Mando Diao Paralyzed Sweden |
I saw Mando Diao like 18 months ago or so when they opened for Jet, and blew them off stage. What do they feed the children of Sweden? They must have biscuits and tea made out of 100% pure kick-ass. I bet IKEA sells them. |  |
| OK Go A Good Idea At The Time Sweden |
OK Go has filled the whole in my heart that was left when The Cars broke up all those years ago. What's more is my heart now overfloweth with visual OKGo candy in the form of viral videos that tribute the best dance routine ever choreographed. I highly recommend you spend a ton of time watched every one of them here. |  |
| Brendan Benson Alternative To Love USA : Michigan |
It's rare that I get jealous of a singer/songwriter to the point of seething spittle between clenched teeth, but I have serious song envy. Benson conjures up the melodic genius of Wilson &Lennon with the velvet throat DNA of Dando. |  |
| The Sounds Tony The Beat Sweden |
Blondie, meet Peaches. Peaches, meet Pat Benatar. Oh yeah, and speak swedish. |  |
| Goldfrapp Beautiful UK |
I saw them on Letterman and I was completely blown away. I mean, I already had the album, but seeing them perform was unbelievable. Who knew you could blend Spinal Tap and Synth Disco? |  |
| Spoon I Turn My Camera On USA : Texas : Austin |
I got turned on to this album (among others) by DJLight. My taste was confirmed when I saw them on Austin City Limits. Brilliant. There simply aren't enough tall gangly blonde men in rock. |  |
| Conner Silent Film Score USA : Kansas : Lawrence |
As my old college friend reviewed them on 3Hive.com:
|  |
| The Black Angels Young Men Dead USA : Texas : Austin | Listening to the Black Angels gets me stoned, makes me put on black leather pants with no shirt, light candles, and writhe around the floor screaming aburdities about giant Peeps with bullwhips. |  |
| Van Tramp New England UK | The song New England hooked me like rootbeer. One part U2, one part Faces, this is lush, drive-with-the-top-down, scream along music. I ordered a pre-release copy from their site and it was well worth the scratch... |  |
Comments
I love Brendan Benson and the Black Angels. I saw Brendan three years ago (only a handful of people were there)and I saw Black Angels last summer (only five people were there to see them). And of course those five people included me & Ry and my peeps who I dragged out for a killer show. I'm trying to keep it real in SLC.
