"We are cold hearted snakes" - These guys

Matt and Kim (who I’m not really that big a fan of… I know, but yeah… just don’t like them) have a new song on their MySpace page if you wanted to hear it. I haven’t listened to it (please reference prior statement of dislike) but I’m sure there are some people out there that do want to hear it.

If you are one of those people, then click here. If you are like me and you are not one of those people, click here.

It’s Friday so… yeah. And it’s a long holiday weekend in which several Music Boxer staffers are leaving town and going on crazy adventures. I for one will be all up in Southern California this weekend making it all happen all over that particular geographic area. Rock. Basically, what that all means is that things are going to be a little light today and Monday so… yeah. There you go.

"We Punk" - These guys

Bad Religion is getting ready to drop a new album on our asses and MySpace has the first single from that album. the song is called “The Resist Stance” (get it?) and the album is called The Dissent of Man.

We like Bad Religion. Some of us more than others, but we all like Bad Religion so we are jazzed about the new album. Click here to listen to the new song.

In related Bad Religion news, singer Greg Graffin will release a new book titled “Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science and Bad Religion in a World Without God.” We are assuming that you can derive the subject of the book from the title there.

Ginger!

Earlier this month Queens of the Stone Age released a deluxe version of their album Rated R that included a whole bunch of new songs. So… if that interests you then you get to buy an album that you probably already own (if you didn’t own it then you probably don’t want to buy it now), again, for an inflated price just to listen to six new songs? Six new songs that weren’t good enough to be on the album in the first place? Right.

Fortunately for us that kinda like Queens of the Stone Age but not enough to ever actually buy anything they’ve released, Spin magazine has one of those new songs for the entire world (yes, the entire world – even China!) to listen to if they so desired.

Click here to listen to the previously unreleased song “Ode to Clarissa.”

"I'm artsy!" - This guy (?)

Antony & the Johnsons is kind of a weird band. They are good, don’t get me wrong, but they are a weird band. First and foremost they are fronted by Antony Hegarty, who has one of the most distinct voices in all of music. And by “distinct” I mean weird. I’m not passing judgement… I’m just saying that if Antony Hegarty got on American Idol the judges and assholes in the audience would freak the fuck out.

Anywho, Antony Hegarty and his band have a new EP out as of yesterday entitled Thank You for Your Love. Do you want to hear a song off it before you decide to buy it? Of course you do. That’s what America is all about, trying before buying.

Well, listen to this then. It’s the title track from Antony & the Johnsons’ new EP. And if you dig it you can download it here.

As I said in the 2009 Recap video we did, Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos are responsible for one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Ever. Since that concert though the band’s lineup has changed and a new album has been recorded. That new album, Buzzard, is getting ready to hit the information super-highway next month! My how time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in the small little club getting annoyed with the Pabst Generation in anticipation of Margot et all taking the stage.

Anywho, Margot has added one of the new songs from the new album to the band’s official MySpace page and that same song is available as a free download from a number of sources – like this one. Oh yeah… the song is called “New York City Hotel Blues.”

If you are too lazy to head over to MySpace to check out the new song and too weary of links to unknown sources to download the song, you can listen to it right here:
