Everyday I, is a band out of Orlando, FL who live by the rules of today. The instrumentation behind “13 Miles” has an ethereal quality, while the vocals are very gritty. This makes for a interesting landscape of sound that’s very pleasing to the ear.

An entire sea apart we come to our next rock band out of Nottingham, The Burt Bacharak Fight Club. I love their name, sounds like a horror film that’s scary as shit. When listening to “Blight” I couldn’t help but hear the similarities to Kaiser Chiefs – “I Predict a Riot”. Great song and band to be brought back to. I’m addicted to how heavy the snares are in this song.

The Sea of Cortez is an indie rock band out of California who instantly made a home on my playlist. I’ve been looking forward to blogging about these guys for quite some time. Their music tells of the trials of youth and makes the resolutions to them sound simple.

“Make It Sound” is The Sea of Cortez’s upcoming 2010 release and is being mixed by Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof). I’ve gotten a chance to preview one of the tracks on the album and it’s nothing short of phenomenal. You catch them on Myspace here.

I was watching “Where the Wild Things Are” earlier today and this coincidently was playing in the background.

Early this morning, M.I.A.’s “Born Free” was pulled from YouTube for it’s “Graphic Content” in a claim that the video is “too violent”.

I’ve seen countless videos belonging to YouTube “partner accounts” with more blood, more violence, and most importantly that by YouTube standards are against their TOS.

All I’m saying is if your going to pull a video for violating “X” rule in the TOS, you better make sure you pull every video that violates “X” rule. It’s not right that this video gets pulled, and then YouTube partner videos go untouched for the sake of Google’s monetary gain. Here’s a cheesy video to remind you of all the videos you’ve seen on YouTube that haven’t been flagged.

I especially love the “We encourage free speech and defend everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view.” part.

Hmm… I see.

First off all, if you have red hair and freckles and are offended by this video, I am truly, truly sorry. But please understand, this is not aimed at you. Some people will disagree. But really. It’s not. In this video, you are the metaphor for society as a whole. You may feel indifferent about this and again, I sincerely apologize.

This video was pulled because it sheds light on a future very close at hand. One, certain individuals would rather us as a society be ignorant to until it’s say to late. One, that I would rather not face but seems to be crawling closer.

Yes, I’m prepared for the..

“Well, they could have used anybody, why’d it have to be people with red hair?”

I believe this completely detours from the point this M.I.A. video is trying to make.

Two Door Cinema Club has been getting a lot of attention lately with the release of their debut album “Tourist History” and it doesn’t take “Two” listen throughs to figure out why.

Get it? See what I did there?…

I immediately thought about Minus the Bear and Armor for Sleep’s earlier work and how these guys didn’t hesitate for a second to pick up where they left off. Soaring guitar riffs, mixed with warm distant supporting synths can’t help but give you a sense of purpose. Their scheduled to open few dates for Phoenix this fall and I can’t wait.

Let’s dive in.
