Friday Links
I was going to do a Sunday Links thing every Sunday, but why should I discriminate against the other perfectly capable days of the week? Oh yes, I went there.
So to the question of when these will happen will be subject to my personal discretion, or sometimes based on impulse or caprice (or in other words, whenever I want to). Here are your Friday Links, I expect you to click them all, because they’re all pretty much amazing.
Listen to, Preview, and HEART all of the music posted on PMA.
Frank(ie) Ramz posted this fantastic video on Pigeons & Planes. If you sort of like Asher Roth, or even sort of hate him, you might enjoy this. “I Hate High School.”
MGMT cover Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer.” Not sure how old this is, but I like it. Saw it at Rollo & Grady via Bleakey. I wanna fuck you like a DINOSAUR!
Stereogum told us that Radiohead are fast at work on an In Rainbows follow-up. Mass hysteria ensues.
Soulwax & Au Revoir Simone involved in the making of the Aeroplane album! – via Ohh Crapp
Jay-Z confirms split with Def Jam.
I <3 Green Day’s “21 Guns”
The Sounds, Wilco and Sunset Rubdown albums leaked.

Green Day
21st Century Breakdown

[74]
[Rating Scale]
[rating:74/100]
“Dad,” I used to whine, “you had the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Springsteen. All of those bands managed to be both popular and good. But ‘mainstream’ music stinks today. All I have is N*Sync, Nickelback, and Fall Out Boy. All the big bands are one-hit wonders, and it’s embarrassing to actually like them. Even worse, it’s hard to actually like them because of how bad they are. When will I have a band that, years down the road, I can see playing a reunion concert to the same amount of fans they had when I was a kid?” My dad simply reassured me that I would have my generation’s defining rock stars, a band that I could like with no shame. And after two epic rock-operas that revitalized the traditional album, that band has proven itself to be Green Day. Continue reading →

Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown (”Album / 320 Version”) + Sneak Peak Into Album
A couple of days ago, we let you listen to a mid-quality rip of Green Day’s “21st Century Breakdown,” the presumed 1st single and title track of Billy Joe & Co.’s upcoming album. Last night, someone sent me what they claim is the “album version” and “320kbps” version of “21st Century Breakdown.” I won’t make these claims perse, but whatever, here we go… Continue reading →

New Green Day- “21st Century Breakdown”
I’ve got a treat for you. Whether you love it or hate it, take a listen to some new Green Day and let the PMA world know what you think.
Me, I like it. I was a huge American Idiot fan, loving the audacity, catchiness, and ultimate scope of the record. This sounds like a decent track from Idiot, almost a wannabe “Jesus of Suburbia.” It’s not a bad song, I just feel like it doesn’t reach the epicness or greatness that it’s trying to achieve. Take a listen for yourself. Continue reading →

Initial Thoughts: Green Day- 21st Century Breakdown Cover Art
What do we think of this? My first reaction was “eh.” I feel like aspects of this are cool (The Green Day logo, the album title itself), but overall, I think the “two people kissing” thing going on in the middle comes of a little bit lame and amateurish for a band as great as Green Day. What do you guys think? Props to Stereogum for the picture.
Aside from the cover, though, I already love what I am hearing about this album- a “power-pop” focus, a 3 “act” split…should be another catchy, hook-filled epic. I’m a big American Idiot fan. What are your thoughts on this new album, or on Green Day in general?
The album is out in May and available for pre-order on Green Day’s website.
You know, the more I look at this cover, the more I kind of like it…
