Booyakkasha. The fellas known to the world as the DownBeat Keys have been on a roll in the last 48 hours.

The Morning Commute - Road Trip Edition: The Drive...

As promised, here’s the second of two parts of this week’s Morning Commute. As I alluded to in the last post, I have developed a slight obsession with Two Door Cinema Club. Without having to reiterate what I wrote earlier, their complete mastery of that quintessential euro-dance rock sound makes each track of their album (and their remixes) a miniature opus within themselves. Read...

The Morning Commute - Road Trip Edition

Lots of music can be listened to in 10 hours. Especially if that ten hours is being spent in a car on a drive to Virginia. While one could theoretically listen to a CD on repeat for that whole time, I listened to a ton of new (And old) music. Just my luck, most of it is featured on this blog. Here’s what I got for you this week: My most frequent spins came from Ireland’s own Two...

Album Review - Broken Bells: Broken Bells

File this one under “It’s about goddam time.” I’m a little tired of musicians that have already established themselves independently teaming up with each other. it’s like they’re under the impression that based on who they are alone, that their music will be something of valor. I think Discovery disproved this theory. That album, beyond the MJ cover, was...

The Morning Commute - Week of 3.8.10

So it’s March. The sun’s coming up earlier, the snow’s going away and flowers are beginning to pop up. What this means for me, is driving to work with my sunglasses on and my sunroof open. What better way to do this than with a nice little soundtrack? This week’s Morning Commute features Pretty Lights. Pretty Lights is the musical incarnation of producer and beat maker...

The Morning Commute - Week of 3.1.10

It’s truly an amazing feeling to listen to new music in this day and age and have a completely organic experience. I expected Local Native’s new album “Gorilla Manor” to be that of another product of the Pitchfork era - a bunch of synths, no discernable drum beat and some trippy lyrics. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. However, my experience was the...
