New Music Friday >> 04/11/2008



Words >>

We've been kicking around the importance of maintaining momentum; about how once you get it, its so important to keep it going and not let up until you stabilize it, otherwise you can't build anything and all your work is for nothing.

Burbank International - Dial Tone >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498805

This is one of our favorite Burbanks songs off of their seminal "Burbank Is For Lovers" LP. Basically an entire movie in a single song, it tells the story of a man wishing for some extra bullets and a working phone on the eve of a catastrophic quake and frankly always makes us a little weepy.

The Hold Steady - Your Little Hoodrat Friend >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498808

Seldom do bar bands elevate to such sublime triumph. Our favorite cut off of their "Separation Sunday" concept album, it elicits dirty little memories of growing up small town midwest and basically just fucking rocks.

Be Your Own Pet - Bicycle, Bicycle - You Are My Bicycle >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498809

A fixie anthem and perfect for a sunny day in SF. No gears No brakes! All Real! No fake!

The Black Angels - Doves >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498810

Well crafted shoe-gaze illiciting the glory days of Mazzy Star and Opal. Fucking love it.

Sarah White - Sweetheart >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498811

A tender ballad to a boyfriend on the edge of not being a boyfriend anymore. Perhaps a little too well crafted but it passed the "raises the hackles on the back of our neck" test.

Bill Moss - Sock It To 'Em Soul Brother >> http://www.savefile.com/files/1498814

Sometimes you gotta get knocked down to get up.
