Streams of New Music

Brandon Flower’s solo album comes out today. If you want to give it a listen, it has been streaming over at MOG for the last week. It is a subscription site, but you can get a 3-day trial without any credit cards or anything. Since I have a tendency to flip-flop on my opinion of Killer’s albums, I am going to wait till I hear this one a bunch more times till I decide if I like it.

Another group worth a listen is the Mynabirds. They do a great kind of gospel/country/rock music. Can’t remember where I heard them first, but you can stream their entire album over at Myspace if you click on the “Albums” tab in the music player. I don’t know when Myspace started having the option for the entire album, but it is a fantastic idea.

The sound opinions guys recently had a show about the music scenes of Baltimore, Cleveland and Portland. There is a great band worth a listen out of Baltimore called J Roddy Walston and the Business who also have full albums on Myspace. It is straightforward rock and roll with guitar, bass, drums, and pianie.

Finally, personal favorite Those Darlins got a new album coming out and have just released a 7″ with two songs they have been touring with for a while: Night Jogger and FunStix Party.
