CD Releases (Week of June 3, 2008)

I’ve kinda been busy and unintentionally ignoring the ‘In the Loop’ site for the past couple of weeks.  My apologies! 

One song that I want to draw attention to is a song called ‘Let’s Dance to Joy Division’ by ‘The Wombats.’  For some reason, the song reminds me of the theme song for ‘The Muppets.’  That’s not taking anything away from the song as I find myself tapping my toes along to it every time I hear it.  If you get a chance, it’s definitely worth checking out.

I also picked up the new ‘Flobots’ CD at Circuit City last week for $6.99.  The CD, ‘Fight With Tools’ is alright and kinda political, but it just didn’t do much for me.  I liked the lyrics but the songs just aren’t catchy.  The only one that was really catchy was ‘Handlebars.’  It goes something like this…

I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars
I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars

To be honest, I didn’t even make it completely through the CD.  I found myself clicking my car radio back over to Sirius 21 – Alt Nation.

 

That’s all for this week.  Here’s the new music for the coming week…
