New Music In Brief

DateTuesday, January 17, 2006 at 07:15PM

A little late, but here are some short snippet reviews of a few albums I picked up from Tower last week.  Emilie’s more interesting Golden Globe post is right below this one:

Morningwood - Morningwood - 5/10.  Total pop radio fluff, but very fun pop radio fluff.  Loses an extra point for self-censorship on "Jetsettermusicletter" (which is an otherwise good song).  Listen here.

Apollo Sunshine - Apollo Sunshine - 9/10 - An out-of-left-field surprise.  Recommended highly if you like new Wilco.  "Today is the Day" is a fantastic alt-country song (even if alt-country seems to be past its prime right now).  Listen here.

We are Scientists - With Love and Squalor - 7/10 - Solid work.  Danceable indie in the Killers/Franz Ferdinand vein.  Honestly, hasn’t gotten as many listens from me as Morningwood and Apollo Sunshine have.  Listen here.

I just wish those bands had better names. I'm sorry, but I cannot in good conscience listen to a band called Morningwood. Apollo Sunshine is less dirty (unless I'm missing a reference, which is entirely possible) but still stupid.

P.S. We are so cool that other people won't even comment on our site. Whatever, Jake and I don't talk; we just communicate through the comments on our blog. Honey, could you pick up something for dinner tonight? Thanks.

Agreed that morningwood is a grade A horrible band name. I've got a handle on dinner. Do you want to watch Veronica Mars tonight? Or is there good TV on?
