badly drawn boy – the hour of the bewilderbeast – once around the block
it’s 2000. damon gough, the english skull cap wearing and mercury prize winner releases his debut album. it’s quiet and powerful and made him an instant talent to reckon with. i’ve memorized this album from it’s first second to its last. a decade later, it’s still an all-time favorite. there is not one mediocre song on the album. damon released his sixth album last year.

black lips – arabia mountain – new direction
atlanta’s flower punk boys released their sixth album last month. mark ronson has certainly made the band’s sound more clean and easy listening, but with the release of this new video, they show they are still crazy rocker boys, at least in front of a green screen. enjoy their worldly and outer worldly flight.

pepper rabbit – red velvet snow ball – murder room
the l.a. duo are releasing their sophomore album next month. this is the second single they’ve released from the new album and not only does it have a great title, but it’s a quirky pop tune that shines despite its dark undertones. it certainly satisfies the morbid fantasies we have about eliminating certain people from our lives. on that note, cheers and a happy sunday. www.myspace.com/pepperrabbit
