Young People – “Forget”

Young People - After many, many days of a very premature summer, the clouds gathered in the skies over Baltimore, threatening a much-needed torrential downpour.  Indeed, preemptive headaches and upside-down leaves foretold the outcome of the day, as chilly breezes blew suddenly humid air alongside Sunday traffic, while pedestrians unsheathed umbrellas and darted frantically to their cars.

Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

The Arctic Monkeys are undoutably the biggest band from England right now. I did went to see them play live here and I was actually more impressed with their opening band, Be Your Own Pet, which are a few underage kids (the youngest being 18 years old). But what they offer is a little showmenship, as they jump and dance around as they sing (I mean, scream) their songs.

The Auteurs – Car Crazy

Anyroad, for our road trip this weekend, I thought I'd leave you with some Luke Haines car songs. Luke Haines has been around forever, I met and interview him during The Auteurs' "Now I'm a Cowboy" tour and have been following his career ever since. He joined in Black Box Recorder, which had some minor success. He's currently a solo artist (I believe he's still doing random gigs in England & Ireland).
