Fitz and the Tantrums "Out of My League"

I only heard this song for the first time today and then I kept hearing it all over radio land.  Seriously- only today.  This song, "Out of My League" by Fitz and the Tantrums is going to blow up more than it already it is.  It's catchy, romantic, but still darker and indie.  I LOVE it!  Enjoy:

Yuck is coming back in Fall 2013!

According to Spin Magazine, Yuck is slated to release their sophomore album later this year.  This makes me so, so, so, SO happy!  I've been a fan of theirs since they released "Holing Out" two years ago.  I own the actual CD and everything-not just random MP3s or starred tracks on Spotify.  I think it was also Spin who dubbed them "the best band from the 90s that didn't exist until 2011"-which is the most perfect way ever to coin them.

That said I'm curious how this album will shape up as they've since lost their lead vocalist and prominent song writer (Daniel Blumberg).  I'm going to remain optimistic though and hope that they FINALLY tour here in Denver as they never made the rounds here for the self titled album tour. 

All in all, it's a good news music day as far as I'm concerned!!

Elvis Costello rocks

I've really only gotten into Elvis Costello over the past year.  Admittedly that's weird.  I'm confused as to how I missed the boat on him my whole life.  Hell, one of my all-time favorite movies is 200 Cigarettes and he plays a semi-important role in one of the characters plot lines. 

Regardless, he's been one of my obsessions over the past 6 months or so and this is a song that always gets stuck in my head ("You Belong to Me").  This YouTube clip rocks too- he's bringing everyone up on stage.  Too.  Cool.
