New Releases - Tuesday

If you can't get enough of Panda Bear, eMusic has released Panda Bear Live at ZDB, Lisbon, Portugal, September 2004 Part 2, which features an 11:23 minute version of "Bros". This version fades in, so we can only assume that Part 1 of this release refers to the first part of this already epic song. But since eMusic doesn't provide it, and there is no mention of the release on Carpark Records (who apparently put it out), we have no way of knowing at the moment. Oh well, enjoy another version only on eMusic.

Free Music Monday - Headache City

Headache City has a bit of a misleading band name. Sure, they come from Chicago. And sure there are days when living in this Windy City can cause the worst of migraines. But my first reaction was "noise pop/rock". Well, forget the noise and concentrate on the pop and the rock. Featuring members of the Motards and CoCoComa, Headache City create foot tappin' (even addictive) pop gems, such as "Suicide Summer," which just might be the best song I never heard in 2006. If you're in Chicago, make sure to check out a free(!) show from them tonight at the Empty Bottle.
