The Bug – London Zoo
The New Ride
I picked up this sexy little number this weekend. Weather permitting, I plan on riding to and from the office. Today featured the first such commute, and I must say that its a grand journey. Just south of downtown, I cross a formidable hill which provides what is likely the best view of downtown Tulsa. One stretch of the ride takes me between an elevated highway ramp and an old cemetery bordered by a classic cast iron fence, with each no more than twenty feet on either side. And Mom, you’ll be happy to know that I barely even have to touch the city streets, as I take a newly built bike trail almost the entire trip. It’s a fantastic way to start the day… at least with our current weather.

Wolf Parade @ Marquee
Wolf Parade is playing in Tulsa on November 5th! You don’t want to miss this one. If this show doesn’t sell out, I’ll be embarrassed for Tulsa. Buy tickets through cainsballroom.com. Marquee (formerly Mooch and Burn) is across the street and south of Cains. Its a fairly small venue. This should be an awesome show!

Japanese psychedelic pop. Check it out. Pretty awesome.

Cold War Kids – Loyalty to Loyalty
I know I haven’t been all that loyal to this blog lately, and our relationship is getting a bit shaky as a result. But I promise I’ll work on it. I’ll try to do better. Like posting to tell you that my favorite low-fi minimalist indie rock group has a new album coming out soon. Cold War Kids will be release Loyalty to Loyalty on September 23rd. You can hear their first single from the album, Something is Not Right with Me, on the Cold War Kids Myspace page. You should just go order Loyalty to Loyalty now from Amazon. When you’re done, head over to shopLFP.com to see what I’ve been up to in the real world. Our opening party went well. My thanks to those of you that were in attendance. I trust you had fun.
TV on the Radio – Dear Science

Poni Hoax – Images of Sigrid
Frenchie electronic music with an added bonus of English vocals. Pretty awesome. Good chance of making heavy rotation. Poni Hoax on myspace. Buy Images of Sigrid on Amazon.
TheSixtyOne.com
Something tells me this site will run into some legal issues, but its a pretty fancy social music listening site. You can listen to songs straight on the site. The songs play instantly and continue playing even when you change pages within the site. Users also “bump” songs they like (similar to digg) so that the good stuff pushes to the top (in theory). Go check it out before the lawsuits crush it: thesixtyone.com
Department of Eagles – In Ear Park
Department of Eagles on myspace.
In Ear Park available on Amazon.com.
Pre-order In Ear Park from the record label and get a free 7″ vinyl. I’m doing it. It must be cool.
Now on heavy rotation.
