Eddie Vedder – Longing To Belong

So the rumors are true. It seems that Eddie Vedder will in fact be releasing a solo album, which is supposedly to be released in June. This can only mean good things. The track sounds pretty good (though I’ve only listened to it halfway through so far) and I imagine the entire album will follow suit.

New Strokes Album Leaked

The new Strokes album “Angles” leaked sometime yesterday. I’ve given the album about 5 listens-to so far this morning at work, but won’t be able to do a complete writeup of the record until later tonight or tomorrow, though I will tell you this – I’m really liking it so far.

To whet your appetites, here are a few tracks to check out: The awesomely 80s verse of Two Kinds Of Happiness turns into an amazingly perfect guitar song that is very much The Strokes. And Boys Are Back In Town-inspired track Gratisfaction is the band at their absolute best – slow churning rhythm, guitars that aren’t quite lead and aren’t quite rhythm, and Julian’s syrupy vocals layered right on top. The perfect recipe for the perfect Strokes song.
