This will be a better year...

Music-loving types are all abuzz right now about the fact that Peter Steele, lead singer of Type-O Negative, just passed away of heart failure. I can't say I was ever much of a fan, but it's still a damn shame. I know how it feels to lose a musician who has enriched my world with their art, so I can definitely sympathize with his fans.


Perhaps it's a sign of how far behind the times I am, but my bad music news of the day came in the form of finding out that Harlem Shakes broke up... BACK IN EFFING SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR! This after creating one of the best albums to come out in 2009. Here lately, I've found myself listening to their album "Technicolor Health" more than any reasonable person would listen to anything, and you deserve to know why. So, rather than ramble on and on about how great they are, I'm embedding the first 4 songs on the record here. The whole album is solid. Easily one of the best indie rock/pop albums of the entire last decade. Listen...

I'm super disappointed about this. Maybe I'll post about my favorite artists who died recently. Hint: Peter Steele is not one of them (but he might make an appearance anyway).
