"holy SH*T!! Where has this been all my life? I defy you to find something wrong with Seasick. He is blues rock perfection. I'm in love. "

"Being old skool me today, as I'm sick, and laid up in bed, with time to discover new music, and actually enjoy it. And look at me, in Dallas, stumbling on yet another New Orleans band! Dang. Park The Van records are looking like a label to watch, and these tunes are catchy. Perked me up, and I'm on some serious downer meds today. :) "

"Incredible. Any words that I would add to that would just eff this up. It's TAHT goooood."
"Awesome guys! Great stuff."

"Red strikes again! Can't get enough of these guys. In the same vein as Earl Greyhound, and kiiiinda Wolfmother, it's so much fun to crank!"
"Anyone else diggin' on the new Metric? I've only listened to it once all the way through, but I'm happy. It's a tad more eclectic and less dancy.. from what I can tell. This tune is the standout. "

"New fave cover! I'm gonna be hearting everything on this new YYY's album, btw. (just a simple warning) ;) "

"New town, new band, new slide guitar, new sound. AND IT'S GOOD. "

"Cover alert! We all know by now that I'm a slut for a good cover. I only *kinda* like Lykke, but this might put me over the tipping point. We'll see. We'll see. None the less, it cranks. If you want it, email me... I got it baby!"

"Hey, I'm not on here as much, but when I am, I give you the goods, am I right? Leona posted a freebie. I think that's cool as hell. 'Till next time..."

"Just found these guys on the hypem blogosphere. I'm intrigued enough to go and get some more. I have a feeling most of my ilike buds maybe have some insight already??? Do, tell me more! "

"The new theme for the new James Bond flick has leaked, and, might I say, it rules. "

"As my buddies in Nola sit and wait to see what Gustav does, I told a few of them if need be to plan their hurrication for here. No one ever thinks of Lafayette. But seriously kiddos, there is a reason Lucinda wrote about this particular town, and even gave it the title! There a certain sweetness to it I can't quite describe, but everytime I had to go there for work, I couldn't WAIT to go back. It's like a whole town that feels like your cool older aunt with iced tea on the porch, and maybe a little bit of whiskey... heh. Blue Moon Saloon. Stay there. Not only is it a b n' b, but it's a freakin' amazing music venue. All local, all the time. Bar outside. Just bein' a little nostalgic as I watch the weather channel.... please excuse! "

"Haven't even THOUGHT about Vampire Weekend in a while. Alas, such fickle creatures are we. Good thing there's covers to remind us. I actually loathe this Fleetwood Mac song. They do it some justice. If you want it, I can email it to ya, just send me a note!"
"This is allllll thanx to Red on this one. I had heard a few previews/streams/random mp3's here and there. This is also my case for why I tend to dig iLike over services like Pandora. Sometimes just a random listen to a song won't do it for me, but a friend like Nicole who won't shut UP about how she just HAS to get her hands on the new Dandy's peaks my interest more than normal, and because of that, I end up liking and discovering more than I would before. Anyway, she also introduced me to the amazing world of torrents, and on random nights when I choose to turn the tv off, I find a TON of stuff. This was on the to-do list, and I can't believe I waited. Hope you all forgive me for being so slow on the uptake. This album makes me warm in the special places. ;-p"

"Now I'm not so worried for the new Lily Allen album afterall. That is, if they let this track on there. Brilliant! What would be more brilliant is if the people that she's singing this to, sing along because it's so catchy, and don't realize what's really going on in the lyrics. She's gone and topped herself. Who ever said 'fuck' in lyrics was childish? This rules. "

"FREE MP3! FROM THE PRETENDERS!! YES I'M SHOUTING!!! THIS IS FRIGGIN' COOL!!!! Chrissy Hynde has unending coolness. She be my hero. "
Jul 28, 2008
"New KINGS!!! Whaaaaaaaaaaa? Such nice boys. www.kingsofleon.com for the free prezzie. Not too bad for a Monday, eh?"
Jul 13, 2008
"Spent the weekend crackin' open some Mates of State. Way better than I thought upon first listen a few weeks ago. I should put this on shuffle along with the 1900's, She and Him, the White Stripes, and possibly some other happy-go-lucky tunes and go hopping around the house!"
Jul 12, 2008
"It's a cover I never knew I had! Sometimes I start downloading so quick, I never listen to anything. This is the shiz-nizzle. Fo-rizzle. Sorry about that. If you'd like a copy, hit me up with an email. It's soooooo goooood. "
Jul 10, 2008
"Here's a band I had on a to do list, for what seems like forever. Took a bud of mine going to Bonnaroo (which I will NEVER do, btw) and getting blown away, which he NEVER is, to finally get me to sit down and take a listen. Garsh. I'm a fool. Friends don't let friends miss out on some cool ass tunes. I'm doing this as my duty!"

"http://www.daytrotter.com/article/1344/ha-ha-tonka Go GET! I've praised the HHT before, but this is incredibly cool, because not only do they team up with Phil from SSLYBY, but they do a cover of a song from yet another Springfield band, Big Smith. Check them out too. I'm officially in summer-mode now! "

"Ummmmmm. I would figure that most of my friends on here would already be one of 2 things: 1) over the Girl Talk crap or 2) think it's total load of bs fun that we've needed for a while. Anyone? Anyone? You can download the new album for free ala 'in rainbows' style. I recommend it. Because, imagine inviting some peeps over and then dropping this deliciousness on them. Jaws will most certainly drop, and you'll have crunked the party up, all while playing ONE group. Interesting, eh?"

"Helllllooooooo! I'm back from the dead. Well, I guess not the dead, just the "stress from moving". Which to me is worse than being dead. Next time I decide to move, slap me... hard, ok? Obviously, we know the G.A. rules, this is actually to show off a new plug in for your mac, if you happen to be a mac-geek like me: http://www.iconcertcal.com/. Try it, and tell me it isn't the coolest thing EVARRR. And hell, I just moved to Dallas, and this was the first thing that told me they were coming to town! So, it's already doing it's job, straight of a download. Here's to knowing all the cool shows coming near you, and to never being a stranger again!"

"Thought I'd let you guys know who I saw at Jazzfest. This guy. Yup. Was there all day, and I literally only saw THIS GUY. Can you believe he's still alive? Actually quite incredible. There's just too many old friends at the track and WAY too much good food to worry about the music, believe it or not. (Well, that is, if you LIVE here.) Besides, all the GOOD music is late at night.... But for the record, you've got a friend in me! ;-p"
"This is more of a 'how I was feeling yesterday' rec. My scooter be broke, and I've got no dough, so I tried to replace a spark-plug, all by myself. That shit is HAAARD! I'll tell you what though, being up to my elbows in grease, having some Wolfmother cranked up in the background, the passerby comments were plentiful, I must say! And even though I couldn't get the sucker off, I still felt accomplished.... I don't know why. "

"One of those chicks I would've just skipped right over if not for iLike. One of her top friends on myspace? That'd be Kathleen Edwards. Thank you friends for pointing my stupid face in the right direction. She's insanely stupid incredible!"
Apr 26, 2008
"You know what? I was not totally sold on Destroyer. Now I am. I think it's got just enough campy-ness mixed with hippie-ness for me to 'get' it. And it sounds damn good in the morning. So there. "
Apr 23, 2008
"Just a hidden Louisiana gem (by way of Sweden) that I always mention to friends to go see at Jazzfest. When you've got time, look her up on myspace and youtube. Girl can fiddle her ass off, and trust me, if you haven't heard of her, it's likely you've heard of the people she's jammed with. It's Jazzfest season, baybeeeee!"
Apr 21, 2008
"Who's coming to Jazzfest? Hmmmmmmm? Not even sure I'll be able to make it in on Friday when they go up, but that doesn't mean there's not a chance of catching them in some tiny bar around town that night. I've got some other 'festy jems you can only get here. Coming soon!"

"FREE MP3s!!! These guys are sweet, bunches of full lengths now available to listen to, as well as a couple of freebies. Awwww. I've dug them for a lil' while. Simplicity at its finest. Verrrry Very Cute. "
Apr 05, 2008
"Day late and dollar short on this one. All well, can't win 'em all. Just glad I found them when I did! Fun as friggin' hell! My take? YeahYeahYeahs+KingsOfLeon+Elastica get in a car crash and make love afterward. An orgasmic collision, perhaps? ;-p"

"http://www.stereogum.com/bjork/ Um, guys? Go there. Stereogum covered ALL of Bjork's Post. You can have it. For FREE. It's rather incredible. I have memories of becoming too hip for the room to this cd somewhere in the mid to late 90s. Now I can relive it all again, but covered!!!! I'm in heaven. (But no longer too hip for the room! ;-p ) "

I love the new Metric album! I have to disagree with you though. I think "Gimme Sympathy" is the standout song.

Aw. Thanks for thinking of me! A trip to Dallas sounds super fun, but that weekend is a no-go for me. Maybe October? hmmmm
