Luke H Tumblelog

This album covers a lot of ground, making these guys hard to categorize, but it’s all very strong. The only negative to this track is that it’s over too quickly.

Catapult - Arctic Monkeys

This is a b-side to the upcoming release of Cornerstone, the 2nd single from Humbug. It’s a good bridge between Favourite Worst Nightmare and Humbug.

The Drawing Board - The Features - Some Kind of Salvation

I just learned about this band from Sparta, TN, because they are touring with the Whigs (and recently played a show in Cinci that I didn’t see.) They aren’t new by any stretch, but they are new to me, and I’m loving what I’ve found from them.

This track is my favorite so far. Sort of sounds like Kings of Leon crossed with Modest Mouse and a horn section thrown in. I have a feeling I’ll be tumbling a few more from these guys this week.

Haring on the Wall - Mauerkunst, 1980-1989

I remember seeing this in person when I was in Berlin as a college student in the late 80’s. It was so incredible to go back to Berlin in the 90’s after the wall came down and see a completely different, united city.

Clare and the Reasons - “That’s All”

This is the best Genesis cover I’ve ever heard (in my humble opinion, at least). Brooklyn based chamber-pop extraordinaire Clare and the Reasons mix light, airy girlie vocals with fun instrumentation which include brass, strings, and other things to hit. This track, off the recently released “Arrow”, is the follow up to the acclaimed debut EP, “The Movie”.

Additionally, they have an amazing cover of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” on their Myspace. Certainly worth checking out along with “Rodi” and “Pluto.”

Champions - The Cool Kids and Don Cannon - Gone Fishing (mixtape)

Been listening to the Cool Kids and The Streets this morning. These guys are under-appreciated.
