Album of the Day for September 1st

Today’s album of the day is the 2004 self-titled album from Franz Ferdinand.  Those of you grooving along in traffic and cubicles were treated to the musical stylings of “Take Me Out” and “This Fire.”

• Listen to While We’re Young by Department of Eagles

  The latest Department of Eagles song "While We're  Young" is a great summer song, about taking advantage of youth and "leaving all good sense behind." It's more upbeat than songs off the 2008 album In Ear Park, and will make you want to dance around the same way "Southern Point" does. Hopefully Daniel Rossen will let more of these spirit-infused, happy vibes from his Grizzly Bear songwriting days influence future Department of Eagles songs.

• An Interview with Smashing Pumpkin’s Frontman Billy Corgan

  This interview with Billy Corgan by Christine Borges was published in the Broward Palm Beach Times. I enjoyed it. I hope you do too! #

• Listen to Lay Me Down/Here’s to Now by Ugly Casanova

  The same beautiful voice and talent of Isaac Brock, the lead singer of Modest Mouse, but it’s definitely not the same band. I could never get into the rock and instruments of Modest Mouse; thankfully Ugly Casanova is the same great style, voice, and melodies, but more raw, personal, and relaxed. The two above-mentioned songs actually sound uncomfortably similar, and unfortunately the rhyme of “Here’s to Now” and “Lay Me Down” doesn’t help. Despite this, I’m thoroughly enjoying and recommending the songs, which are available (along with more Ugly Casanova songs) on Hype Machine. #
