Seriously. What gives.

Now Dave Douglas is leaving Relient K. For those who don't know, he's the drummer. What's so bad about playing in a band for a living? First Rob and Mark from Mae and now Dave. Not cool.

Mae -2

Yesterday Mae's piano/keyboard player Rob, and bassist Mark left the band. I don't know what this means, but it really kinda sucks. I'm seeing the remaining members in November with Motion City Soundtrack, and I'm interested in seeing how this effects their live show. But I am kinda worried.

Even If It Kills Me


Motion City Soundtrack
Even If It Kills Me
4.5/5
I think I'm just a sucker for Moog-infused rock. And there's the fact that there are references to Transformers, Indiana Jones and Captain Crunch! I love it. The hometown heroes have done it again. The only thing I don't understand is that the picture I got off Amazon has a Parental Advisory sticker on it. The cd itself doesn't.
Favorite Tracks: Fell In Love Without You, This Is For Real, Broken Heart, Hello Helicopter, Antonia

Give Me Chroma, or Give Me Nothing.


Cartel + MTV Band in a Bubble = Bad Idea. Cartel’s new self-titled album is different, and not in a good way. After I heard Lose It (the new single) for the first time I was disappointed. It sounds like they’re trying too hard. And the sad part is that Lose It is one of the best songs on the disc.

Out of the 13 tracks, only 4 or 5 are any good. I Will Hide Myself Away has an annoying drum machine in the background. Wasted has trumpets and other horns, and a drum line instead of a drum set. Long story short: I was bored before I got halfway through. I hope that next time they put out a record it’s more like Chroma, because their new sound doesn’t work. 2/5

Good songs: Tonight, Lose It, This Is Who We Are, The Fortunate
