The Hives do some good shit. Might give it a look.

Franz Ferdinand and Sparks have formed a supergroup: http://www.nme.com/news/franz-ferdinand/83356

How random. And brilliant.

[Benji]

C'mon, that band ain't big enough for the both of them.

I've never been a big Muse fan but that's the best I've heard from them in years... In fact, if I let it grow on me it might be about the best they've ever done. Colour me interested.

Some friends of mine are in an instrumental post-rock band called Gilmore Trail. They have their second album dropping in May, and the lead single/first video has been featured on a number of sites (including Prog @ Team Rock, etc). Anywho, I thought one or two of you might enjoy a listen. It's quite easy going and chilled out stuff.

Hope you enjoy

Two things, Dead Sara are amazing, everyone should listen and absolutely go see them live.

And Blink 182 with Matt Skiba is a huge improvement, based on the videos from last nights show. All the songs are now sung, instead of whatever it was that Tom was doing.

The show, for reference.

Hoppus actually flubs it more than Skiba does. Can't wait for how they mesh in the studio.

[Maxx]

As long as it doesn't prevent more Alkaline Trio music, I'm a-okay.

Nasal interpretations of the English language?

Rafa fell in love with The Mountain Goats. Do they have more stuff wrestling-related?

Probably only this, but you should totally listen to lots more Mountain Goats anyway.

[apsham]

Beat The Champ is out and it's amazing.

[probablyoliver]

Yes it is! There's a handful of wrestling related songs by Darnielle not on the album. 'Break Legs' and 'Ox Baker Triumphant' come straight to mind, both of which are lovely.

But man, this album is fucking phenomenal. It's not the best tMG album by a long shot but it's still kickin' rad. And it's about wrestling, and that's awesome.

You mean A Song for Greg Valentine! Also Ox Baker Triumphant is amazing.

Beat The Champ turned up on my iPod yesterday but I haven't been able to sit down and listen to it. Listened to it on NPR's site last week though it's awesome - I mean, it's a Mountain Goats album that has a song about Chavo Guerrero Snr and has a song about the death of Brusier Brody. What is not to love?

I kinda prefer this version of Southwestern Territory to the album version though.
