Stage Names Sequel

One of my favorite albums last year was Okkervil River's The Stage Names. Apparently they are going to release The Stand Ins on September 9th as the second half of what was almost a double album. Pitchfork has those details. I am happy it wasn't a double album because those tend to overwhelm me. I will definitely check this album out. Here is a video of the band playing "Unless It Kicks" on a roof for Pitchfork.tv

Humpback Wednesday #11

Hope everybody is doing alright. New The Hold Steady album has me very excited. Also is this song not ridiculously catchy. I actually liked the new Indy movie. Besides that I suggest watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Invader Zim. And listening to these songs of course.

One Little Plane - Sunshine Kid
Anthem In - Down
Ed Harcourt - Revolution
Pomegranates - Thunder Meadow
The Sweet Serenades - I Can Never Die
Usher - Love In This Club (MSTRKRFT Remix)

This War Is Noise

Sundowner is the solo project of Chris from the Lawrence Arms. This video is old but it is new to me. I've liked this guy's voice and lyrics for awhile so check it out.

TV

So summer break is here. At least it is for me. So now that I'm back home hopefully the blog gets some more direction. For one thing we here at Whale Week cannot forget who the enemy is.

Headlights - TV
Pomegranates - Whom/Who

Humpback Wednesday Strikes Back

Just typing the title made me want to watch Episode V. Still yet to see Iron Man, but I will probably love it blah blah. I saw Maritime and Headlights last weekend and both were very good. I want to complain about finals, but I won't because everybody else is (via facebook status not actually to me). So yay finals. O yeah enjoy the songs.

HW #10 if you're counting (which I guess I am).

The Lodger - The Good Old Days
The Morning Benders - Crosseyed
