Afternoon Treat: Stream Zooey's Album Now!

If you've been dying to know what Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward's musical collaboration, She & Him, sounds like, wait no longer: Merge Records is streaming their debut album, titled Volume One, right now! The album doesn't come out till Tuesday, but why wait? I heard most of the songs from the album at their Noise Pop show, and it's great to revisit the recorded versions. So far, I think the Read more

Album Stream: PJ Harvey, White Chalk

Female indie rockers have found different ways to grow up and earn a more mainstream following, with mixed results. Cat Power overcame her stage fright, Tori Amos toned down the adolescent melodrama, and Liz Phair for some reason decided to turn herself into Avril Lavigne. While the last move is puzzling, PJ Harvey now joins Tori and Chan as another underground rock girl who gets more graceful Read more

Album Stream: Get Up With the Go! Team

There may not be another piece of album art this year as appropriate as the cover of Proof of Youth, the sophomore album from The Go! Team that comes out today. Honestly, the collage looks almost exactly like how the music sounds — it's all cartoonish, yet slightly aggressive fun, like a bunch of smiling, happy people slam-dancing at a very colorful party. Curious? You can listen to the entire Read more

Album Stream: Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight

Yes, the new Rilo Kiley album comes out on Tuesday, so I could just wait until then to listen to it. But why should I spend my weekend in Jenny Lewis deprivation if I can stream Under the Blacklight right now? (It is, after all, one of my most-anticipated releases for August.) Thanks to Stereogum, I just discovered that you can now listen to the whole album on the band's MySpace page. Of course, Read more

Listen to the Flight of the Conchords Album Online


Updated 08/21/07 10:17 PM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 13 comments

One of my true pleasures this summer has been watching "Flight of the Conchords" on HBO each Sunday night. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie never fail to crack me up playing versions of themselves in a struggling folk parody duo — New Zealand's fourth most popular folk parody duo, in fact — as they navigate New York life and try to shake off their one persistent, stalker-ish fan. Their Read more

Album Stream: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Is Is


Updated 07/24/07 7:41 AM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 9 comments

Wow, writing that headline made me feel like a broken record! As for Is Is, however, there is nothing broken about this record. As of today you can hear this latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs album in its 5-song entirety on AOL's full CD listening party. Having heard the album several times over, I strongly suggest you do so. There's nothing drastically different about this YYY's album that we haven't heard Read more

Early Listen: the New Interpol Album

If you liked "Pioneer to the Falls," the new Interpol track I posted last week, then you'll be pleased to know that the band is now streaming its new album on MTV.com, so you can listen to the whole thing before it hits stores on July 10. Called Our Love to Admire, this is Interpol's third full-length album, and I, for one, am welcoming it with open arms. I am a huge fan of the band's other Read more

New Smashing Pumpkins Video and Early Album Listen

The Smashing Pumpkins comeback album, Zeitgeist, hits stores on July 10, but it doesn't seem as hotly anticipated as Billy Corgan would like it to be. So it may not help that AOL's Spinner blog has posted the full album stream a week early; and why not, since Zeitgeist tracks have been leaking on the 'Net for weeks? I've only given the album a very quick spin today, and it is oddly comforting to Read more

Album Stream: Ryan Adams, Easy Tiger

Ryan Adams is one of those love-him-or-hate-him artists, and I tend to go both ways, depending on what the insanely prolific singer-songwriter is doing at any particular moment. I find some of his rock-oriented albums annoying, but I dug a lot of the songs on the country-leaning Jacksonville City Nights. Tomorrow, Adams releases his eighth solo album, Easy Tiger, which you can now stream in its Read more
