Stop, collaborate and listen.


What? I couldn't think of any other images to post, okay? Okay, so the weekend is here (for everyone else but me), and we all need some new songs to annoy our neighbors with as we get ready to go out tonight. Hope today's selections find you well.

Tigercity:
Time to put aside your !!!, LCD Soundsystem and Juan Maclean albums as your secret livingroom dance party music... here comes Tigercity. Most would say that disco-punk was on overkill last year, but honestly? With me, it never gets old. You should have fun time with music. It's your recess from the real world. They have a show coming up at The Delancey on 4/11, and I wouldn't miss it. Oh, and like their predecessors, they were also featured on a VICE compilation. Expect to hear a lot more about these guys in the coming months.

The Kulta Beats:
"A mixture of energetic garagerock, psychedelia hovering on a cloud of melancholy pop and groovy rock'n roll, all with a certain je ne sais quoi. Inspiration is gathered from superior modern literature, low down pop culture, and some rock, mainly 60's garage and 80's indie." I can't help but think Happy Mondays when I hear his voice. Not so much on the Cardigans cover, but you get the point.

The Attorneys:
This NYC trio definitely have a commercial sound to them, but that's not always a bad thing. Described as "a throwback to 80s rock, minus the bad hair", I can hear Perry Farrell circa Janes Addiction in the vocals to "Open Soul"... but then the vocals turn almost Weezer in "Stay". Don't let all the mainstream talk get in the way, give these guys a listen. It's catchy and I like it. They have a show coming up at Trash Bar on 4/7, so if you like it... go support it!

Adam Green:
Not really unknown, and not really in need of an WNR introduction, but I wanted to post him up just for the love of his music. I have many fond, drunk memories of singing slurring along to the Moldy Peaches cover with my best friend at the end of a long night. We all need laughs, and Adam provides that with a beautiful backdrop of music.
