usounds August 22nd, 2007
The Good Life celebrate being from the same city as Mannheim Steamroller
The Good Life are back! The band’s fourth full-length Help Wanted Nights will be released September 11, 2007. The Good Life is led by Cursive’s Tim Casher but sounds almost nothing like Cursive. Check out the heartbreaking song “You’re Not You” from 2004’s Album of the Year on The Good Life MySpace page while you’re at it. Tour dates are also listed.

David Dondero mp3s

David D feels kind of down after dumping a few dead bodies in Greenfield Lake
Wilmington, NC man David Dondero is not your average singer/songwriter. He has a magi-like gift for intertwining great storytelling with super catchy melodies that are not bo-ring. The following songs make me think Mark Oliver Everett (E) or Will Sheff. New album, Simple Love is out today on Team Love.

Kinski - Punching Goodbye Out Front
usounds August 9th, 2007
The members of Kinski relax after burying some dead bodies in the woods of northern Washington
Kinski’s new album, Down Below It’s Chaos, will be released August 21st. Here are some words from our bff’s at Sub Pop:
On August 21st, Sub Pop will release the new Kinski album Down Below It’s Chaos on CD and LP (and invisible digital format). If you pre-order the new record by release date, you’ll receive a limited-edition CD-R of a live score the band did in June of this year at the Seattle International Film Festival. Kinski played live accompaniment with the 1927 silent film, “Berlin, Symphony of a City” by Walter Ruttmann at the Triple Door here in Seattle. This CD-R contains a portion of the recordings from their two performances. It’s all live; no overdubs. (And the clinking you hear occasionally is people eating dinner!)
