Hump Day Happenings

I feel like I have been neglecting my blog recently, but I have been insanely busy. After this weekend, I hope to resume more frequent posts. I have been listening to High Violet nonstop since I picked it up yesterday. Here is some news and video of MGMT rocking "Brian Eno" on Letterman last night.

MGMT - Brian Eno

Damn Albarn might be busy with his animated band Gorillaz, but Blur will always have a place in his heart. Blur hasn't released any music since 2003's Think Tank until today. The band used Record Store Day as a way to show fans that Blur is still alive and kicking. No new album has been announced, but fans can only an album and maybe just maybe a tour is in the works.

Download the track here.

Thank Boosh It's Friday!

Tonight, I am going to my first White Sox game of the season. I am hoping that John Danks can have a good outing and get a win. I have tickets to see Atoms of Peace on Sunday at the Aragon Ballroom. I can't wait to hear what they sound like. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
