It's been four days since I put the call out for straight-forward, even-keeled, unpretentious, honest pop rock. Apparently the indie rock gods heard my calls and graced me with the newest EP from Baltimore-based band Eureka Birds.
Eureka Birds – That Mountain Is A Volcano

I was a bit torn about getting this one written. On the one hand, I'm having the extremely lazy day I've needed so badly after the last few hell weeks at work. On the other hand, I've only just discovered Peter Wolf Crier's album, Inter-Be, and it's wrapped my chilly soul in a nice, warm argyle sweater. Back to the first hand, the album came out in 2009 (that's 136 B.C. in Blog Years). Then again, I'd be doing myself and most importantly our loyal readers a giant disservice if I didn't introduce you to this band.

Here's a little gem I've come across. Nostalgia 77 is the producer Benedic Lamdin and his fourth album, The Sleepwalking Society is due out March 21st. "Simmerdown" is a jazzy little tune that's part Medeski, Martin, and Wood, part Amon Tobin, and part Ella. Strut your stuff to this one. Regular, frequent blogging will return when all of us Digsters get our lives back in order.

For as much as I love hip-hop, I'm pretty damn specific about what I like. Maybe someday I'll write a post trying to pin down the sounds and rhymes that make an artist appeal to me, but that time isn't now. Moral of the story is, XV is killing it for me, and I wish I had discovered him sooner.
XV – SmallVille (Produced by J. Cole)

I try to make a point of not doing exactly what I'm about to do. I just listened to the new Hezekiah Jones album for the first time, and it kind of destroyed me. I'm sitting here pretty sick in a freezing basement and it hit every right note an album could possibly hit. So I'm going against my Blogger Code and writing about music I've only listened to one time.
Hezekiah Jones – Mind Malaise

Lubec is a band from Richmond, Virginia. Their brand new EP Nothing is Enough! is an exciting debut, though perhaps indeed not enough for those who dig catchy pop melodies mixed with loud fuzzy rock.

The Soft Collapse is the duo of Ryan Montgomery and Dave Teufel on acoustic guitar and cello, respectively. Their simple, heartfelt music has drawn me in for repeated listens and I wanted to share with you my favorite track from their latest album, Little Songs.

It's only 1:14 p.m. and it's already been a hell of a day. I got confirmation of a big interview for us here at Those Who Dig yesterday, and I'm still on a high from that. I'll spare you the details, but the great news keeps flowing today. In honor of this awesome mood I needed a catchy, upbeat song. Thank you, Love in the Asylum.

Let's start this one by saying that one of my New Year's Resolutions is to stop procrastinating on posting awesome stuff. I often hear really good music that I put off writing about so I can spend more and more time with it, and then end up never actually writing. That ends here with Beat Radio.
Beat Radio – Golden Age
Beat Radio – The World Is Ours
