Some notes in my own musical world…

Favorite band (one of the many who come to Toronto and Rochester but not Buffalo) Bloc Party finished their North American tour and is now in Europe. They released a brand new track just recently titled ‘Flux’. A band prone to infuse dance sounds into their rock music, ‘Flux’ is all dance…pretty good too…very ‘Euro’ sounding. The video is nothing beyond a tribute to the Power Rangers (wtf?!)

The Spill Canvas was at Club Infinity tonight as they tour their new album “Sorry I’m Fine”. Lead singer has the most emo lyrics ever in his 1st
two albums…he doesn’t write like he wants to hang himself anymore but ‘Connect the Dots’ has some super intense lyrics. Real nice sound. Not into the genre for the most part but they’re good…remind me of my emo days. Ha.

Nada Surf is the 4th of my 5 favorite active bands to release an album this year. Well…not yet BUT you can download (for free!) their 1st single off the album due out in mid-November on their myspace. Typical Nada Surf sound…and that is a very good thing.

The National is one of the few of what I would deem as ’sophisticated rock groups’ that ACTUALLY came to Buffalo. It was in early October on an exam night. I missed it. They’re huge in DC for some reason. Very Interpol-like if you listen to those guys (who also released an album this year).

And honestly, if you haven’t listened to Radiohead’s new album get out from your cave and do so.

One last note. My ska friends over at Magic Goat have made it big time! Kind of…you can buy their debut album on iTunes. Support SUNY musicians!
