Alright, let's hit some music. The Roots have a new album coming out. Bits and pieces are here. Next give The Autumn Project a shot. It's guitars and drums and it's excellent. It's heavy and driving, with powerful, building riffs that drag you across a wall of sound. There are two tunes there for you to sample. Then there's some more sans-lyrics rock from The Screaming Eagles. Lots of guitar here, too, but it's a bit more quirky and there's some interesting other sounds in there. Lots of tempo changes and shifts as the songs build to crescendo. The tunes are quick but satisfying.

Is it cheezy to link to band's MySpace pages? Sometimes it feels that way, but the first message on the Screaming Eagles' actual site asks fans to go to their MySpace page to download the tunes. So, if that's what they want, who am I to argue?

Did you know that smiley faces hypnotize? You do now. And what about if you're having some friends over but don't want to go through the trouble of creating that perfect mix? Then you might want to click here and see if a BRAT dj mix will work instead. Crazy selection of songs there. Fun for the whole crew. Alright a few more to live up to the title of this post! The Fiery Furnaces, live. Do I hear Ween crossed with Rush? It's possible. You tell me. Now let's slow it down a bit and get a little ethereal with Beachwood Sparks. Give'em a chance! And the last musical offering today is We Are Scientists. They're a little more poppy/indie than the other stuff on here today. Sorta Depeche Mode-y with a bit more oomph.

I've got one last little treat, though, and it's a doozy. Did you know Dubs and Dick do a sick beatbox? Check it out!

Alright, dinnertime. I want to find more good mash-ups. I haven't come across anything juicy in a while. If you know of a good site for fun mashups, or anything else I should post up here, drop me a line (You'll have to fix that email address, though, as it's formatted to prevent spammage.)

Friday up suckas!
