So here is Every Time I Die's debut full length album on Ferret. It's pretty ghetto awesome. Back when they were straightforward metalcore. I'm more of a fan of their work Hot Damn! and forward, but if you are a fan of ETID and/or metalcore, this is basically a must. As well, finding a copy of the album artwork was a real bitch, so I'm sorry for the shit quality.

So still in my "YAY BLINK 182 IS BACK" phase, I have decided to post up their first full length release. So evarbodeh, say hi to Cheshire Cat! What can I say about this record? Well I doubt that by listening to it in 1994 you would have realized just how legendary this band was going to become. Still ultra catchy and funny like Blink have always been, it has the sound typical of pop punks in the early to mid nineties, save for Green Day. Also of note is that Travis Barker is not in the band, so the drumming isn't the typical Blink 182 sound. Still worthy of being in your collection though. So yes. :)

So I don't know what to write about this record, so I'll just copy and paste from the wikipedia article: "Kids for America is the first EP released by American pop punk band Motion City Soundtrack in 2000. The tracks "Cambridge" and "1000 Paper Cranes" were redone and released on I Am the Movie. This release was hand made and according to their official discography, it was limited to 100 copies. The full package includes a disc with only a tiny "MCS," the folded artwork, and a contact/credits card that contained information for booking. This was all housed in a plastic sleeve." So yes, that's that.

So this album was most definitely requested a long time ago. Sorry about that. Anyways, it's pretty awesome and hilariously clever. I really need to listen to Cobra Starship. However, I think this might be one of those things where the people in my life kill me for being a big geek. Whatever. Good stuff. Download link obv. in blog title or link below.

Do you remember Box Car Racer? If you do, AWESOME! If you don't, holy shit I am old. Hahh. This album is the only album of the now defunct Blink 182 side project started by Tom Delonge, featuring Travis Barker on drums. It's almost like +44, except not formed out of depressing necessity. Don't run in fear now though, this is not anything near the overwhelming douchebaggery that was Angels And Airwaves. It was merely a vehicle for Delonge to get out the musical ideas he had that he felt weren't really Blink 182-ish. So instead of being inspired by U2 and The Police, this album was more inspired Rites Of Spring, Embrace, and Fugazi. For the uneducated, those were the orignal emo bands. Yeah. It's their fault.

The special edition of City and Colour's second full-length album Bring Me Your Love. Only 5000 copies are available in North America, plus 1000 in Australia.

This 2-disc version features 2 new songs (Faithless and I Don't Need To Know) and demo versions of all songs except The Girl. The track Sleeping Sickness features Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip.

So I have been waiting on this album since before anyone fully knew Frank was in this band. Frank you ask? Frank from My Chemical Romance. It's like his angry little hardcore side project. It's sick as fuck. Brutal as fuck. Love it, fuck. This entire album is an exercise in raging hard. If you like it loud, fast, heavy, and angry, this is for you.

Here is the cd single for AFI's song Love Like Winter. It was the second single off of their popular album Decemberunderground. It features a pretty great and low key cover of Jack The Ripper by Morrissey, and a b-side which I have not yet listened to yet. So yes. That's that.

Well it's about time I uploaded this album! I've been meaning to since it leaked in September. Shows how lazy I am. Anyways, what can I say about Demi Lovato? Well she played Itchie, the female lead in Camp Rock. Her album was basically co-written in large part with the Jonas Brothers (the songs they wrote together are arguably the strongest on the record, minus their duet, which is the musical equivalent of a cum fart... well maybe not that bad) because the stuff she personally writes simply wouldn't fly by her target market aka Disney Channel. Does that mean this sucks? No. Far from it. This album is basically full of super awesome girl pop-rock. It's awesome like Paramore's 'Riot', if it had been released on Hollywood Records. It also a includes a song (The Middle) co-written by Kara DioGuardi, the new American Idol judge- and holy shit its a killer track. I basically love it, even including it on my top albums of 2008 list, amongst a bunch of "legitimate" artists. I'm way excited for the deluxe reissue of this album, featuring a Spanish language song and a new song demonstrating the type of music she wants to be playing and will be continuing on with. I'm fucking STOKED. Until then, enjoy! 8D

This is the debut release by "super group" Two Tongues, featuring Max Bemis and Coby Linder of Say Anything, and Chris Conley and Dave Soloway of Saves The Day. Which basically translates into an absolute emo eargasm. My favorite tracks on it are Crawl, Dead Lizard, and Wowee Zowee. Worth downloading? Yes. Worthy BUYING? Most definitely sir. This is just solid songwriting, manifesting itself into GREAT MUSIC. Srs.

"Sorry Rick, I mean Cream of Mushroom." So here is the A:M's first comedy album, and fuck its good. This album was released last year but recorded two months before his death in 2005. Mitch Hedberg was highly influential, and his style is easily likened to Demetri Martin's, who if you simply do not know, was a correspondent on The Daily Show and now has his own show, Important Things With Demetri Martin. This album is fucking funny, not in the way Dane Cook is funny. Yeah. Actually funny.

If you like bands that have heavy screaming with melodic vocals blended in, with seemingly no melody, and breakdowns galore, then you will like this album. Because every band evar like that wants to be Every Time I Die, and wants to record this album. In fact, you can basically break "hardcore" music down into two groups. Bands that want to record Hot Damn! and bands that want to record The Shape of Punk to Come. But those albums have already been recorded, and most of those bands suck. So just save time and download this and the rest of ETID's discography. It'll save you time and it'll be one of the best choices you've ever made. Ever. In life.

Why haven't we posted this already? Oh yeah. We're lazy cunts. That's the one. Anyhoo, if you don't know Lights already, you should, because she is incredibly awesome synth pop that is what she is. GRAMMAR, YOU HAVE BEEN R4P3D. She said it best when she described how she writes songs. "When I write songs I think about how my music makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy." So yeah. Thar ye be.

So it took me long enough right? Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of Brody Dalle's work, so this is no exception. It's definitely a departure from The Distillers, and you can for sure here her husband's influence on her music (Joshua Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age). Well if you like very bad ass rock and roll tunes, then here's a solid download. OH! I should also mention that this is a completely independant self release, meaning all the money made off this goes back into their band. So in case you want to be a good person, go here and buy it, it has all the songs, hq artwork, and the music video for Ghetto Love. . Spinnerette - Ghetto Love EP [MP3]- Ghetto Love

Yes another file dump. Haha. This one is filled with a bunch of really great gosh darn tracks. As in, listen to them over and over and over and not get sick of them tracks. Yes, it's basically the best file dump evarz.
1. Patrick Stump, Brendon Urie, Travis McCoy, Cee-Lo, Janelle Monae - Open Happiness [MP3]
Excuse me while I coo over the greatness of this track. I've had it in my head ALL day and I'm okay with that. I can literally listen to this over and over and over and it's as good as the first time I heard it. It's LITERALLY the happiest thing I've heard in like, evarz.
2. William Beckett - Heartbeats (The Knife Cover) [MP3]Why thank you Strike Gently for ripping this audio. William Beckett did a video of himself covering this song acoustically, and geeeeeeeeez is it pretty. The original of this song is obv. hauntingly beautiful, as it is The Knife, but this is just a pretty little acoustic diddy that can't help but make you smile. Dig eet.
3. Jack's Mannequin - The Mixed Tape (Piano Version Live) [MP3]The Mixed Tape is a fucking great song. This is an even better version, IMO. I have actually been meaning to stick this in a file dump since I started this blog, but I just haven't been able to put one together that I felt really suits this song until now. It's the kind of song where you need to close your eyes just to absorb how damn lovely it is.
4. Dustin Kensrue - Creep (Radiohead Cover Live) [MP3]Another track I've been waiting to share for awhile. Creep is arguably the most recognizable Radiohead song, and for good reason. Dustin Kensrue, being the immense talent that he is, delivers the goods in this cover. It's as haunting and beautiful as the original, and gives me the same shivers. It's also a pretty damn good live rip.
Also known as The Big Faggy File Dump. There are only 3 songs in this one, and you should be glad. These are some pretty ridiculous tracks. Hahaaaaa.
1. Sonny - Mona [MP3]
Hey remember when Sonny made good music? Yeah! Back when From First To Last were somewhat relevant? Yeah that was a long time ago. Now he's got this solo project, and it kinda sounds like Chris Crocker "music" to me. Emo goes pop fucking TRAINWRECK. Download for lulz. 2. Scarlett Johansson - Last Goodbye (Jeff Buckley Cover) [MP3]ScarJo rapes and kills a great and classic Jeff Buckley song. Actually it's not that horrific. She actually has a pretty good voice. It obviously comes nowhere even near the shadow of the original, but its not bad. Too bad she's not a legitamite artist and only does weird ScarJo covers of classic alternative songs. 3. Yellowcard - High And Dry (Radiohead Cover) [MP3]Also not totally horrific. But this is still the Ocean Avenue dudes. The dudes with the violin and the lead singer who cried when they won a VMA. Those dudes. Thus by default this is totally gay. And thus I love it.
So in honour of one of the greatest pop-punk bands ever doing the good and right thing by getting back together for an album and tour, I present ye with their first EP. Or demo. Whatever. Check out that completely fucking awesome hand drawn cassette tape artwork. Nice. So here it is, before they were Blink 182. And copyright Fags In The Wilderness. And holy crap crow it just dawned on me what a crappy name Blink 182 is. Hahaha. Anyways. LONG LIVE BLINK 182! For real this time. Srsly.

So for my very first post of the year I thought I'd put up something extra special. So hurr it is! Alexisonfire's Math Sheet demos! It's quality is awesomely bad but I think there's most definitely a special novelty to having this in your audio library. If you're an AOF fan, this is a must. If you're not or you haven't heard them before, skip it... at least until you realize they pretty much own life.
