My Poproks

U.N.K.L.E. End Titles…Stories for Film
Despite rumors (and a formal announcement) that U.N.K.L.E. was splitting ways (really, only Richard File was leaving the band), they’re releasing their fourth album. Four tracks are available for free download: Here, here, here, and here.

David Banner The Greatest Story Ever Told
The mega hip hop producer’s 5th album, features appearances by Lil Wayne, Akon, Snoop Dogg, UGK, and Chris Brown.

The Hold Steady Stay Positive
Super pop rock that’s so oddly recognizable, so catchy, so effin’ good, that it’s hard for pretty much anyone not to love it. The band’s follow-up to their 2006 breakthrough has been released to rave reviews by everyone, with reason.

Nas Nas
Dirty Nas keeps us all on our toes, to say the very least. “Hero” is one of my favorite tracks of the year, and no matter what the CD called, he’s unbeatable ya’ll.

Beck Modern Guilt
This week’s Albumoftheweek…

Saul Williams The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
Physical release on Fader of Saul’s 2007 digital only release, produced by NIN’s Trent Reznor. This album is complete madness of the best kind.

Ratatat LP3
The third album by this Brooklyn duo following 2006’s Classics. The first single “Shiller” was also released as a limited edition 7″ vinyl.

Albert Hammond Jr. Como Te Llama?
Follow up to the Strokes guitarist’s solo debut Yours to Keep, the first single and video for “GfC” for two thumbs up from My Poproks, if you’re interested.

Immortal Technique The 3rd World
Immortal Technigue’s first album since Revolutionary Vol. 2, recorded with DJ Green Lantern (Jay-Z). “Selling AIDs medicine when we know you got the cure. You weary of conspiracy theory, but hear me.” Truth!

People in Planes Beyond the Horizon
I was a fan of this Welsh pop band’s first record, particularly the track “If You Talk too Much (My Head Will Explode).” Beyond the Horizon’s first single, “Pretty Buildings” takes a bit of a new, less raw direction for the band stylistically, and I’m not sure if I really like it much. :/

RZA Digi Snax
Wu Tang’s RZA’s fourth solo full length album, with production by David Banner. The video for “You Can’t Stop Me Now” is about as cool as fucking cool gets…

Sigur Ros Meo suo i eyrum vio spilum endalaust
Insanity. Beauty. A very new sound, especially on the lead off track, “Gobbledigook,” which has an incredible video you should watch now. You can also download the track for free on their site.

Katy Perry One of the Boys
Super pop at it’s catchiest, I’m already a fan of both singles, “Ur So Gay” and “I Kissed a Girl.” Though the Avril comparisons may not be going anywhere any time soon. Read more about Katy here.

Tilly and the Wall O
The Omaha band’s third record on Team Love, produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, The Faint). You know, they are the band with a tap dancer instead of a drummer.

Wolf Parade At Mount Zoomer
The Canadian indie band’s follow-up to the critics’ list topping Apologies to the Queen Mary. Favorites include “Call it a Ritual” and “An Animal In Your Care.”

My Brightest Diamond A Thousand Shark’s Teeth
Second full length release from Shara Worden (member of Sufjan Stevens’ Illinoismakers), whose vocals and arrangements creep these songs into your subconscious. The songs have a classic sound, yet are incredibly original and eclectic.

Coldplay Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
The band’s failed mid-career experiment. Kidding.

Adele 19
Stateside release of the Brit superstar’s chart-topping debut. “Chasing Pavements” is one of my favorite songs of the year. An incredible voice and a solid debut record..

Jakob Dylan Seeing Things
Debut solo album from The Wallflowers lead singing son of Bob. Produced by Rick Rubin, the tracks are extremely stripped down to their simplest form - most just guitar and vocals. There are some strong tracks, including “Everybody Pays As They Go,” and “Something Good This Way Comes.” A straight up folk record not unlike one his father would make…

Lil Wayne The Carter III
It seems like this album has been getting pushed back for months, but it’s finally here - and it was worth the wait. And yes, that was really the cover. Featuring “Lollipop” and many more soon to be hits. Make me wanna lick the wrapper…

Alanis Morissette Flavors of Entanglement
Alanis continues on her lyrical journey of self discovery and self awareness with the follow-up to the kinda disappointing So-Called Chaos. Some of her best writing since Junkie and some awesome production via Frou Frou’s Guy Sigsworth- favorites include the single “Underneath,” “Not As We,” and “Tapes.” I <3 Alanis.

N.E.R.D. Seeing Sounds
While some of Pharrell’s solo work tends to be somewhat below par, his projects with Neptunes partner Chad Hugo and Shae Haley are never short of incredible. This is the band’s third straight badass release, mashing up all of their influences flawlessly. “Everybody Nose” will be on the Playlist.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Ladytron Velocifero
4th LP by the English electronic band, and first release on Nettwerk. The band’s now signature hard electro-pop sound mixed with the dual lead vocals of Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo continues on Velocifero. The album’s first single, “Ghosts,” has a cool video. Looky…

Radiohead Best of
Ew.

Aimee Mann @#%&*! Smilers
Aimee’s 7th solo disc goes back to the basics of her folk sound, which tips over to both new wave and country at times. Favorites include “Pheonix,” and “Columbus Avenue.” The album was produced by L.A. musician Paul Bryan. And is lovely.

The Cool Kids The Bake Sale
One of the albums I am most excited about this year. “Black Mags” is going straight to the 2008 Playlist. Details?

Weezer Weezer
While I haven’t been real sure of what Weezer has been going for post-Pinkerton, i think it mostly just has to do with writing catchy, silly rock songs. “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” might be the oddest thing they’ve ever done. What’s a bit jarring is hearing the other members singing lead over Weezer jams. It actually manages to change it up a bit. In the end, I still love them. I think we all do.

Foxboro Hottubs Stop Drop and Roll
Did anyone not know that this was Green Day from the get-go? This is a monumental departure from their political art punk-ish of late. Straight up 3 chord, catchy, old school, garage rock.

Islands Arms Way
After an amazing debut (and some awesome Unicorns albums), Nick T and co. return (minus Jamie Thompson) with more elaborate pop songs and a weird album cover.

Mudhoney The Lucky Ones
Subpop release of the Seattle band’s 9th album, recorded in less than 4 days “from the rhythm up” and as rawly as possible. This sounds like it could be the band’s first garage tape. Not sure whether or not I think that’s a good thing.

Dresden Dolls No, Virginia
This has been pretty impressively anticipated for a b-sides collection. This album features outtakes and rarities from the Yes, Virginia sessions, as well as some new tracks recorded earlier this year. You can hear one of those new tracks, “The Kill,” up on the myspace. More details here.

The National Skin a Night & The Virginia EP (DVD & CD)
The documentary film A Skin, A Light by Vincent Moon shot during the making of Boxer (one of the best albums of 2007), as well an EP of b-sides, demos and other rarities. I haven’t seen the film yet, but the trailer is incredible.

Scarlett Johansson Anywhere I lay My Head
As I’ve already said many times, the David Sitek produced Tom Waits cover album (plus one original written by Sitek and Johansson) is a lushy lost-in-translation-soundtrack-ish record that transforms these songs (with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Nick Zinner & Brian Chase…and um BOWIE), and I quite enjoy it. Scarlett’s deep raspy voice is totally likable (though only by me, apparently). “Falling Down” is one of my favorite tracks of the year so far.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Death Cab For Cutie Narrow Stairs
Besides a very long single that bored me to tears, I think Death Cab could possibly get away with this record. For some reason, Gibbard’s serenade no longer woo’s me. However, some of these tracks are very nicely arranged, and the sounds here are very different from the band’s previous major label release.

Teitur The Singer
Teitur’s debut album Poetry and Aeroplanes was a surprise recommendation that ended up as one of my favorite records that year. The Singer is sort of an odd collection of tracks, a bit unlike his straight-forward singer-songwriter formula on his previous two albums.

The Black Angels Directions to See a Ghost
Sophomore album from Austin blues, industrial, [something else dark and depressing] band. A solid collection of all of rock’s most fucked up psychedelic genres and eras. The spirits of Jim Morrison and Ian Curtis have been spending time and they are having a badass jam in hell.

Duffy Rockferry
The Stateside release of this already smash album in the UK, Rockferry (produced by Suede’s Bernard Butler - true story) is quickly becoming one of my favorite records of 2008 Q2. I’m not so much on board with the Amy Winehouse comparisons, but I do see where they could come from.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Animal Collective Water Curses EP
Four track EP from the experimental indie band, including two unreleased tracks from the critics’ list topping 2007 album, Strawberry Jam.

Craig David Trust Me
The Stateside release of the British R&B singer’s 4th album, features the UK hit single, “Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance)” - which samples the David Bowie classic. It’s quite fun.

No Age Nouns
Technically a sophomore album, No Age’s Nouns is the follow-up to Weirdo Rippers, a collection of EP tracks recorded by the band in ‘05 and ‘06. The Sub Pop release, Nouns, showcases Ramones inspired messy loud punk and modern experimental post-whatever. That is not a dig. I kinda like it.

The Republic Tigers Keep Color
Is this the second time I’ve written about a band from Missouri today? The debut album, out on Atlantic’s Chop Shop imprint, is some fun indie-pop that you should definitely give a listen

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Portishead Third
Quite simply one of the best albums of the year, possibly Portishead’s greatest acheivement (yes, including Dummy). I absolutely love this. I’ve already gone on and on about that.

Dizzee Rascal Maths + English
This is pretty much considered a 2007 release at this point, but Dizzee’s 3rd perfect hip hop record comes out stateside this week via Def Jux, with 3 exclusive bonus tracks.

Estelle Shine
The sophomore release by British singer Estelle, features the hit single “American Boy” (that I don’t really like, for some reason). The album features production by everyone from Kanye to John Legend to Mark Ronson, Wyclef to Will.I.Am., etc. etc.

Madonna Hard Candy
No, I absolutely am not waiting overnight at Roseland to get into the Madonna show on Wednesday. That’s just silly. Anyway, a bunch of these tracks already leaked last week, and I gave them a pretty unfavorable mini-review. However, I’m sure they will grow on me, and I still love “4 Minutes.” It’s Madonna. EDIT: It’s growing on me.

The Roots Rising Down
The 9th studio album from the Phillie hip hop band. There may already be a video for every track on this, but I’m excited for the official release none-the-less (Patrick Stump and all).

Santogold Santogold
The debut LP from Brooklyn’s Santogold, an eclectic indie-pop singer following the footsteps of M.I.A.. Every track on this is incredible, whether it’s the pop/rock “L.E.S. Artistes” or the reggae/dance/electro “Shove It” or “Creator,” this is another of my picks for the ‘08 Top 10.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Ashlee Simpson Bittersweet World
Ashlee Simpson pretty much annoys the crap out of me, but it’s hard to make a bad record with Timbaland and The Neptunes behind the boards (and Kenna? Interesting). It seems like “Outta My Head” came out about a year ago, but I still enjoy it. Some tracks like “Rule Breaker” and “Ragdoll” make it even more painfully obvious that Simpson wants some of that Stefani/Furtado magic to rub off on her.

Atmosphere When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold
The 6th album from underground hip hop’s Slug and Ant, also comes in a Limited Edition with a 40 page children’s story written by Slug (serious). If the badass album title alone isn’t enough to peak your interest, you obviously haven’t seen the “Shoulda Known” video…

Elvis Costello Momofuku
Costello’s bazillionth record, released under the name “Elvis Costello and the Imposters.” 12 new tracks from the ever-prolific songwriter, also out on vinyl on Lost Highway.

Joy Division The Best of Joy Division
A long overdue, 14 track Best of that also comes in a Limited Edition with a bonus disc of 8 Peel Sessions (John Peel Show) recordings from 1979, and an interview with Ian Curtis and Stephen Morris. “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” “Transmission,” et al.

The Last Shadow Puppets The Age of the Understatement
The much talked about debut from Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner and The Rascal’s Miles Kane. I’m already a bit torn on the single, and I think I’d rather hear these orchestrated tracks as punk rock tunes.

Tokyo Police Club Elephant Shell
2 years after their critically acclaimed EP, A Lesson in Crime, Tokyo Police Club release their first LP. Tracks like “Juno” and “Your English is Good” highlight the Canadian bands debut, which fit in nicely with Saddle Creek’s catalog of catchy, keyboard driven indie-rock. Dave Monks’ bright nasally vocals remind me of Placebo’s Brian Molko. A lot.

The Replacements Hootenany/Let it Be/Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash/Stint
The band’s first 4 releases, originally on Twin/Tone (including the 1982 EP, Stint), reissued in re-mastered and expanded form. All of the releases feature a ton of previously unreleased material, b-sides, outtakes, and demos (including Paul Westerberg’s original 4 track demo from 1980 for Sorry Ma). Next up are the Sire albums, including Tim and Pleased to Meet Me, out later this year.

Tapes N’ Tapes Walk It Off
The long-awaited follow-up to the 2006 Indie Tastemaker favorite, The Loon, Tapes N Tapes solidify their sound on a well-rounded and melodic second record.

The Breeders Mountain Battles
The band’s much talked about new record, the first since 2002. Kim Deal, former Pixies bassist, continues to prove that she is more than capable of steering her own musical ship.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!
The band’s 14th studio record, a sort of concept album based on Nick Cave’s fascination with the story of Lazarus, as well as Harry Houdini, Jesus, and other epic subject matter.

Spoon Don’t You Evah
The single for “Don’t You Evah” from the band’s 2007 album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, featuring the b-side, “All I Got Is Me,” as well as remixes of the single by Diplo, DJ Amaze, Ted Leo, and more.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin Pershing
Catchy, lovable indie-pop about heartbreak, wanting to kill yourself, etc. The Wilmington, NC band’s first record since their beloved debut, Broom, and a very good one at that.

Jim Noir Jim Noir
Jim’s second album (and first on Barsuk), the English singer-songwriter is among my favorites, the album includes tracks from his 2007 EP, All Right, as well as new music. Noir’s electro-pop songwriting is basically as good as it gets. This record is an expansive, yet sharp collection of catchy melodies and innovative instrumentation.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com and Largehearted Boy.

Kylie Minogue X
US release of Kylie Minogue’s 10th studio album. Her disco-euro-pop is known well the world over, and the US only bonus track, “All I See,” feat. Mims may be the track that finally gives her a bigger name in the US. (”Speakerphone” = my fav).

Moby Last Night
Moby is a lot less his ambient electronic self and more dance sounding on his 9th album. The album was recorded in his studio in NYC, and features guest vocals by Grandmaster Caz (”Rapper’s Delight”), among others.

Van Morrison Keep it Simple
Van Morrison’s 35th album. He wrote and produced the record, including first takes and a classic Morrison sound, as well as playing a wide array of instruments (sax, ukulele, etc.). He’s one of the most important songwriters ever, and his music continues to prove relevant. Samples from four songs, including the title track, are up on the official Myspace.

R.E.M. Accelerate
R.E.M. is back? Or so everyone says. This record is definitely a jump in energy from their last two studio releases. Recalls the early days; it’s the end of world as we know, etc.

The Black Keys Attack & Release
The new Danger Mouse produced album, already heard a couple of amazing tracks off of this, including “Strange Times
 and “Psychotic Girl.” The band’s 5th, out on Nonesuch. If we could kindly ignore The Rapture’s second album, everything DM touches turns to gold.

Yelle Pop Up
Fun electro-pop from French singer, Yelle; the official US release of her 2007 album, Pop Up. Her new video for “Je Veux Te Voir” has Yelle dancing in a plastic smiley-face dress, pretending to work out, and taking a yellow hummer to a dance club. And it’s in French. Any other questions?

Gnarls Barkley The Odd Couple
One of my favorite release of the year so far, the much anticipated sophomore release from Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo. My fanboy review does not offer much of an unbiased perspective. Sorry.

Counting Crows Saturday Night and Sunday Mornings
Their first album since 2002’s Hard Candy, The Counting Crows are set to promote this record with a huge co-headlining tour with fellow top 40 sweethearts, Maroon 5.

Panic! at the Disco Pretty.Odd.
After talking a lot about expanding their horizons and what have you, I really can’t tell the difference between any song on this record and any song on that last one. They write some catchy diddies, I suppose.

Morrissey Greatest Hits
A pretty comprehensive collection of post Smiths Morrissey, including a 9 track second disk with live recordings from last summer’s Hollywood Bowl show, as well as a bonus US only release, “That’s How People Grow Up.”

The Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely
After announcing last week that the album would come out today, it was actually leaked on iTunes (no, seriously) almost 5 days before it was supposed to be available. The band, made of The White Stripes’ Jack White and one of my favorite indie acts, Brendan Benson, actually didn’t want to announce the release at all. No previews, no advance copies, no nothing. I have no insight to offer on this, except that I’m sure it’s way cooler than you are.

The short, short version. Do you? Yes. Do you? Yes. Good, you’re married. Kiss her.

Sorry…

DeVotchKa A Mad and Faithful Telling
From the band that scored Little Miss Sunshine. They’ve got a theremin. That’s all you need to know.

Flo Rida Mail On Sundays
Flo Rida? You get it. Next thing you know, shorty got Low, Low, Low, Low, Low……….Most Annoying Hip Hop Song of 2008 [That I Secretly Like]? I think so.

Daniel Lanois Here is What is
6th solo album from this no name who produced some stuff for some artists you’ve never heard of (U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel). Only one of the best songwriters/producers ever. Already being claimed as one of his best.

Yael Naim Yael Naim
You already know how I feel about this.

Be Your Own Pet Get Awkward
Anticipated second album from the Thurston Moore approved, critically acclaimed, crazy ass punk band. You know? Bicycle Bicycle? You know.

Del Tha Funkee Homosapien Eleventh Hour
Del Tha Funkee Homosapien’s (Hieroglyphics, Deltron 3030) first solo record since 2000’s Both Sides of the Brain, the voice of Gorillaz’ “Clint Eastwood.” Nothing on it is nearly as good as that, but Del kicks it old school. Me likes “Naked Fonk” and “Last Hurrah.”

The Vines The Best of The Vines
EMI is really getting desperate (or is it major labels in general?). This band has 3 albums, mmk? Arguably only one real hit (”Get Free”), and only 8 charted songs in the UK. Yet, this is a 16 track disc “Best of.” Sure, songs like “Ride” and “Outtatheway” were fun, and Highly Evolved was a surprisingly good record…but, I already have it.

Mike Patton A Perfect Place
Soundtrack to the Derrick Scocchera film, Patton finally dips into the world of scoring (if he’s not busy with his 64 other bands). The special edition comes with the DVD of the film and the 15 track score (which is actually longer than the 25 minute short). Over-achieving and over-saturating as usual (did I just say that out loud?).

Snoop Dogg Ego Trippin’
This video is all the reason anyone needs. Snoop is a relentless badass. At this point, everyone’s been talking about this record for months. Just buy it.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com.

Bauhaus Go Away White
Their first record since 1983’s Burning From the Inside, the band that arguably created “gothic” music. A bit “happier” than their original offerings, the album still has many elements of their staple sound. I’d rather listen to Mask.

Stephen Malkmus Real Emotional Trash
The Pavement frontman’s forth album with The Jicks (lately including Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss), and follow-up to the critically acclaimed 2005 album Face The Truth. Surely, will be one of the most embraced indie releases of 2008.

M.I.A. Paper Planes Homeland Security Remixes
Physical release of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” remix EP, including a mix by Beastie Boys’ Adrock. One of my favs of the year so far. Any version of this song what-so-ever is welcomed, as I have no issue listening to it for 20 minutes straight.

The Felice Brothers The Felice Brothers
Debut label release from the NYC via Catskills folk band. I was listening to Crosby, Stills, Young, and Nash recently, and I could hear these songs on that album. Classic folk rock the way it was meant to be, reminiscent of all of the above, Springsteen, Dylan, and others of that caliber. Lovely.

Nine Inch Nails Ghost I - IV
A rather last minute announcement, the Nine Inch Nails are making their mega instrumental project (at least volumes 1-4) available via the internet (via here). The 36 instrumental project is $5, while a 9 track version with a 40 page PDF booklet is as free as Rainbows. There are also deluxe and super duper deluxe editions for sale. The album gets a physical release April 8.

The Gutter Twins Saturnalia
Not to be missed, the anticipated release from Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers) and Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees). It’s like 1992 all over again, except it’s nothing like it. Dark, ambient alt rock with lyrics like “When I burn, it’s a son of a bitch.” Love it.

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com.

Goldfrapp Seventh Tree
The follow-up to the British electronica band’s commercially successful album Supernatural, Seventh Tree has already seen a Top 10 hit in the UK (its first single, “A&E”). It seems like a pretty big departure from the euro-dance of “Ooh La La.” The Special Edition comes with cards, a poster, and a bonus DVD.

Webbie Savage Life 2
His second album, the Baton Rouge rapper has already collaborated with ‘Lil Boosie and UGK’s Bun B. The album features appearances by those and other Trill Entertainment rappers (the Louisiana based label), and the first single “Independent” is already a Hot 100 track. Ringtone rap at its…er…finest.

Janet Jackson Discipline
Janet “wanted to announce that I was venturing into new creative waters.” The L.A. Reid co-executive produced record is Janet’s 10th; with production by Jermaine Dupri and Ne-Yo, and the catchy first single, “Feedback,” has a pretty cool video….gotta say.

Erykah Badu New AmErykah Part One (4th World War)
Grammy Award winning R&B singer returns with her 4th full length (not counting her live album, Live). The new album features production by J Dilla and Madlib, and the video for the lead single “Honey,” paradies about a dozen album covers (including The Beatles’ Let It Be and Nas’ Illmatic).

Check out a complete list of releases for tomorrow at Newmusictipsheet.com.

A Cursive Memory Changes
Vagrant Records latest southern California pop-punk band. They’ve opened up for Jimmy Eat World and Hellogoodbye, and I’m pretty sure they are 14 years old. Learn how to be a “Bandarazzi” in 4 easy steps, and check out their new video for “Everything” if you are so inclined.

Morcheeba Dive Deep
This is Morcheeba’s first record without singer Skye Edwards, and features 6 different guest vocalists - including Queens rapper Cool Calm Pete. Pete sings on “One Love Karma,” a slow paced trip-hop track; quintessential Morcheeba.

The Mountain Goats Heretic Pride
Heretic Pride is the 6th album on 4AD by John Darnielle’s The Mountain Goats. The album’s first single “Sax Rohmer #1″ has an amazing video you should watch now.

The Raveonettes Lust Lust Lust
This Danish duo’s dark brand of “next wave” pop has kept them a critic favorite since their 2002 debut. The follow-up to 2005’s Pretty in Black is big with the distortion; a beach party on acid…in the 60’s.

Ray Davies Working Man’s Cafe
Second solo album by The Kinks frontman, the follow-up to 2006’s Other People’s Lives. All of the tracks were written about the changes he’s seen in America since the 60’s, and were recorded in Nashville. The Deluxe Edition includes 4 bonus tracks and Americana A Work In Progress, a documentary directed by Ray himself.

Michael Jackson Thriller 25th Anniversary Edition
The long-awaited re-release. You know the deal by now.

British Sea Power Do You Like Rock Music
The Brighton rock band’s third full-length album. The UK release of their guitar-heavy Brit-pop was recieved with generous reviews. The video for the first single, “Waving Flags,” is pretty cool…

City and Colour Bring Me Your Love
Singer/Guitarist Dallas Green of the Canadian ‘post-hardcore’ band Alexonfire releases his second solo album (cause Dallas, that’s a city. And Green, well…you get the idea). If you click his “Featured artist” icon on the myspace music page, you can stream the entire album, and read a bunch of comments about hw amaaaaazing his music is.

Simple Plan Simple Plan
They have emo hair now. Don’t buy this.
