A Taste Of Puerto Rico

Before we take off for Puerto Rico, we thought we'd leave you with a little taste of the island.  This one's a forthcoming collabo between Puerto Rico's very own Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, better known as The Mars Volta's prolific guitarist, and Sacramento's very own Zach Hill, better known as Hella's madman drummer.  As crazy as these two get on their own, it is hard to fathom what they might be capable of together.  Check the video below to get a taste.  Buen Provecho!

PRE/VIEW:

Get a listen to some snippets of Sonic Youth's The Eternal here.  The album's not out until June 9, but based on the preview, this one will be well worth the wait.

LSTN UP:

Beck's got a new b-side floating around and this one's our favorite kind of Beck, lazy acoustic.  Check it out below.

Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Get 'Em While They're Hot!

Freshly pressed from the Airbag Manufactory, our "best of 2008" mix CD's have just arrived.  We promised these awhile back, but remember there was a catch with this one.  If you're looking to get your hands on one of these gems, you've gotta let us know what you dug in 2008.  We know that 2008 was like so long ago, so as a way to refresh your memory, we recommend you check out our thoughts here.  Remember, you are what you share, so let the commenting begin!

DWNLD TH!S:

Great song from Tahiti Boy & The Palmtree Family called "That Song."  Don't know too much about the band but we do know that this one's got Tunde Adebimpe from TV On The Radio guesting on it.  Definitely worth grabbing.  If you like what you hear, the band will have an EP out March 30th for your listening enjoyment.
