SINGLE-ARTIST THURSDAY

OH NO

OK GO

Chicago popsters OK Go released their sophomore album, Oh No, on August 30th. For me, the jury's still out on whether or not it's as inherently and insanely catchy as their debut (or, for that matter, if this second effort exhibits substantial advances in musical maturity). But then again, who the hell cares? I'll take my melodic pop wherever, whenever, and however I find it. And you can find some of it right here...

METRIC

Metric's new LP, Live It Out, will be released September 27th (which, come to think of it, is today). A few of the tracks have already been circulating around cyberspace, but here are a couple that people may not have stumbled upon yet. Also, I am posting my two favorites from their last record.
