The Beatles – The Capitol Albums Vol. 2 (Longbox)
OK Computer is arguably one of the best albums that Radiohead has put out. Among Radiohead fans this is quite a debate. Some think Hail To The Thief is the best album they have put out. Either way Radiohead is amazing in many ways. First, the mixture of art and music has always intrigued me. When I purchased the special edition book + cd for Amnesiac I was, well inspired to say the least. One other thing I love about OK Computer and generally all Radiohead is the fact that it is hard to understand what lead singer Thom Yorke is singing most of the time. You can listen to a song and think he is singing something, yet look up the lyrics and it’s something completely different.
As for OK Computer, I absolutely love this album. Brings back memories of driving around and skating with buddies in summer and listening to this album over and over again. It has soft tracks, like “Exit Music (For A Film)” and then the rock like “Airbag” and “Paranoid Android.” Every so often Ok Computer is the fall back listen to album at any given time. Anybody who loves music must listen to this album, and pretty much all Radiohead. For a grip of information on Radiohead, check out the Wikipedia entry.

I’m stoked on two releases today. One band, well I’ve liked for a long time, and then a band that I like very much but just started listening. That would be Taking Back Sunday and The Rakes. I’m a fan of both the old Taking Back Sunday with the singer who went to Straylight Run and then the new new stuff like the single MakeDamnSure. The music video for that song is awesome and I’m actually anxious to here more of the album. Then The Rakes are a UK band that I recently started listening to. (click to read more and get some mp3′s)
Today their new albums come out and I say you should pick them up, either in store or jump onto iTunes music store or wherever you buy digital music.
As always, let me know if there is a good release today that I missed.

If you didn’t already know, the latest from The Vines came out on Tuesday titled Vision Valley. With songs like “Don’t listen to the radio” playing all over, I don’t see how this couldn’t be a successful album for them. Personally I’ve only heard a few song but will be picking up the album soon to give it a listen. I remember seeing their music video for “Ride” on mtvU all the time in 2003, well actually it was CTV – college television or something like that then MTV bought them and we all died a little inside. Either way, from what I’ve heard off the new album, it rocks.

So I forgot to post up yesterday that The Sounds new album Dying to Say This to You came out. WAY GOOD ALBUM! Sorry for the shouting, but seriously I have been listening to this album and personally I like it more than Living In America. I don’t know what else to say that I already havn’t, it’s a great ablum get it as soon as you can! One thing I will say again, and continue to say… That is really sexy artwork.

Ok Go Oh No
I first heard about these guys a little bit before their “A Million Ways” dance video spread all over the internet. I thought it was one of the raddest things I had ever seen. Then, I totally forgot about them until I just picked up Oh No, after hearing “A Million Ways,” on satellite radio. I really like this rock album, for many reasons. First off because it’s rock, and the some of the songs are catchy and just fun to listen to. This isn’t really a review or anything, I’m just saying Oh No is a good listen, so do it!
Besides it being a good album, and they also have a some good video’s to watch. Check them out
