Lord, what a hectic week for music. Here’s a ‘lil peep on what is going on in this week’s music section:

Ted Leo is God. There I said it.
MP3: Who Do You Love? (Um, you, Ted. I love you. Why do you need to ask this? You’re smothering me with your constant need to be validated.)

Matt Driscoll is stumped when it comes to describing the audio chaos of 31Knots. Dude, totes know what you mean, I’ve been lazily calling them prog for years now.
MP3: Beauty

Some of this town’s finest bands team up with local label Arena Rock to give a little back to the community. Aw, that is sweet. Ok, who needs a hug? Anyone?
MP3: Dancing In The Dark (The Snuggle-Ups)

Deerhunter (no, not that hilarious comedy with the Russian Roulette) are still singing about being 16.
MP3: Cryptograms

The Twilight Sad? More like The Twilight Rad! That right there is an example why I did not write about this great Scottish band.
MP3: That Summer At Home I Had Become The Invisible Boy

Get that hate mail ready, it’s the single greatest (and worst) mall-emo band ever: Say Anything. Oooh, you call me a woman and Google’d my dad, I’m so scared.
MP3: Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too
