Wednesday Linkage (On Thursday)
I told you yesterday that Mew are teh awesome. Now hear for yourself. Download this, courtesy of KEXP, and tell me this doesn't blow your socks off:
[MP3] Mew | Am I Wry, No?
That shit is straight fire! Love the touches of piano. Download their entire performance for KEXP at SXSWorst and check out the KEXP blog for their entire festival archive. I'm slowly going through it and will post anything that grabs me. My only complaint: No Gruff!
[MP3] Grant Lee Phillips | Soft Asylum
Raise your hand if your favorite GL Phillips tuns is "Mockingbirds." His new album Strangelet is out on March 27th.
[MP3] Chromeo | Tenderoni
I'm hoping this is a Bobby Brown cover.
[MP3] Roger Waters | Hello, I love You
This is a new song on for the movie The Last Mimzy starring Dwight Schrute.
Two Amy Winehouse videos:
Rehab
You Know I'm No Good
Still not sure how I feel about this record, but I'm glad this and the Lily Allen record are moving some units. Better them than Nickelback.
[MP3] Central Serivces | Four Letter Word
[MP3] Central Services | Getting Better Lately
This band is out of Seattle and apparently KEXP hearts them. Ms. Smith, have you ever heard of them?
[MP3] Mika | Relax
This guy is hot shit in the UK, but he just sounds like a Scissor Sisters ripoff to me.
Goldenfiddle has new MP3's by Humble Rodent and Kings of Leon for you to check out. Don't worry if you don't like the KOL track. The album is awesome. My fave track is "Fans" (which you can get right here). It's been stuck in my head for over a week now. Make it stop!

Am I Wry? is still my favorite Mew song. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't get into "Glass Kites"

Hey, I'm buying Josh a "sorry you didn't get drafted!" card. I just wanna be prepared, you know? There's gonna be a rush. It's in the way back in Hallmark and it's got the "hang in there" cat on it. Let me know if you want to sign.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Nickelback's last album has sold 5.1 million and was *only* #17 on last week's chart. Lily is at #33.
But I agree. Some new artists hanging around the top of the chart is a good sign. Finally some new artists that don't owe their success to Grey's Anatomy or Oprah.
