Notblueatall’s “Thank Fuck It’s Friday” Music Countdown! (Rockin’ 5 Edition)
The Doves: Kingdome of Rust
Like Coldplay? You will LOVE The Doves! Seriously…I don’t like Colplay at all and even I love the Doves! =0)
I think they have similar quality in songwriting structure and melodies, but something about them is just a step above CP for me. Tell me what you think!
The Thermals: Now We Can See (Sadly not on Lala.com, but it is on iTunes at the link and worth a listen) A punk sensibility with a rock backbone…what’s not to love?

White Rabbit: It’s Frightening The drums on the opening track “percussion gun” are killer and leave you thoroughly satisfied for a driving rollicking beat! Love it! Good solid rock! Just what the doctor ordered!
Phoenix: Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Many compare them to The Strokes, but I think a lot of garage rock bands have to fend off the inevitable comparisons of their mainstream bretheren. I hear more originality than the last Strokes album had (no offense to anyone, they’re great and all), but this may have more staying power in my car selections.
King Khan & The Shrines “What Is?! The harmonic “Shah la la” gets me everytime I liten to “Welfare Bread”! This album keeps on truckin’! I love that about it (and the band). It/they just keep on keepin’ on; difficult quality to find now days. I…uhh…gotta run…listen to this one again. Later!
