Cold War Kids – Finally Begin

It’s amazing when you meet new people and ask their musical tastes.  That conversation always leads to someone discovering a band or artist they have never listened to before.  With as much music as I listen to, I am still introduced to bands I have never heard of.  Case in point was when I was asked if I like Cold War Kids,  I had no idea who they were or what they sang.  So I went home and started listening to their catalog, and that’s when I came upon this gem.  This four piece band from Long Beach, who have only been around since 2004, have released several albums in a short period.  Their latest album, Mine Is Yours, enlisted Kings of Leon’s producer, and you can hear that influence in the album.  Mine Is Yours in stores now.

Foo Fighters – Everlong (Alphabet Pony Remix)

I spent an entire Summer living off of The Colour and Shape album, and Sublime’s self titled album, and have nothing but great memories associated with it.  One of the highlights was definitely “Everlong,” and this remix gives you a softer side with a touch of electronic.  Check it out.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

With their 10th studio album now in stores, its hard to believe that these guys are still going so strong after almost 30 years.  Their first video for their single “Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” is shot in Venice Beach which is  perfect setting for a track that sounds like it came from a late night jam session.  With a new guitarist, and Flea writing a lot of new material on his piano, expect a slightly different sound, yet the same laid back California feel. – JJ
