THE STROKES – Angles

“Machu Picchu” “Under Cover of Darkness” Five years after their last album, The Strokes are back with a brand new album.  Angles, was written by the band’s five different members (different angles- hence the title).  There is a fun and warm quality about the sound of The Strokes that permeates throughout the album.

BRETT DENNEN – “Sydney (I’ll Come Running)”

This song is too catchy not to post.  It’s a guilty pleasure…  A seriously guilty pleasure. I’m just not really a big Brett Dennen fan but I hate to take anything away from him.
