Kings of Leon – Use Somebody Kings of Leon – Manhattan Third song is “Gorgeous Behavior” by a relatively unknown group, Marching Band.  A friend at work showed me the album a couple of weeks ago.  Spark Large was released on August 5th and everyone in the indie pop-rock/alternative world has been giving great reviews about it.  Check it out if you like this track. Marching Band – Gorgeous Behavior Fourth song is “Wucan” from Black Mountain’s January 2008 release In The Future. Back in January, I heard it on the radio and I thought it was another new Damon Albarn collaboration project (because this wasn’t too long after The Good, The Bad, and the Queen- check that out if you haven’t).  I don’t know, I think it’s got his style, not sure if you’re gonna be with me on that..  This is a great track and it’s off a cool album you might want to check out too. Black Mountain – Wucan Fifth song is a new one from People Under the Stairs, one of my favorite Los Angeles underground hip hop crews, called “Anotha (BBQ)”.  Eric sent it to me earlier this week and I am loving it.  I haven’t been into a lot of their new stuff but this song makes me happy that we’re all still able to see them put another good track out there.  If you like hip hop and haven’t heard of PUTS, you need to check out these three albums as soon as you have a chance: Question In The Form Of An Answer, The Next Step, and O.S.T. People Under The Stairs – Anotha (BBQ) ]]> http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2008/09/weekly-dose-91408/feed/ 0
