Death Cab for Cutie – New Songs from “Codes & Keys”

Death Cab for Cutie - Codes & Keys

At SF’s recent Noise Pop Festival, Ben Gibbard played a couple new Death Cab For Cutie songs supposedly off the 5/31 release Codes and Keys. They sound pretty good and unexpectedly refreshing, at least in their acoustic format. We’ll see if it is more of the same once they make their way to an album.

Princeton – To The Alps

With the weather cracking the 30 degree mark and the sun coming out for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday in Buffalo, I was overcome with thoughts of breaking out my vintage roller-skates. Then I came across this video and it took me to a whole new level of weather/roller-skating envy. Instead, I had to settle for dancing in my office like the old man at the 2:25 mark of the video.

Ok, amateur comedy hour aside, this is a great new single off the upcoming album The Electrician by Princeton (due out 3/29 on Hit City USA). As many of the readers may know, I like matching songs with seasons and this might be a good one for spring/early summer. Enjoy and you can grab a free download of the song at Stereogum.
