Music for Perfect People

Earlier today, Antiquiet reported that the recent Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group tour has turned into a set of new Mars Volta tracks, with TMV frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala joining the group on stage each night. The titles of the tracks are speculative and could change before their forthcoming album is released but the videos still give a good idea of the new direction that the Mars Volta are churning towards.

After breaking up roughly 5 years ago, Gatsby’s American Dream has decided to reunite and record new music! This great news comes with a new single from the group titled “Modern Man,” which can be streamed by heading on over to the Gatsby’s website, and shooting three items into the pig’s mouth.

Anyone else note some social commentary from Gatsby’s through their incorporation of an “Angry Birds”-esque game that requires the user to shoot iPhones, rats, footballs, and other random items that are heavily embedded in our culture, into a pig’s mouth? How about the fact that the pig is wearing a suit? How about what the “pig” represents?

Take the game as you please, but make sure to enjoy “Modern Man” and keep an eye out for more releases from Gatsby’s American Dream in the near future.

UK dudes Athlete have a new record out in the States today called Black Swan.  They’ve made the full album available on ilike.com/artist/athlete, and just released this video for their first single, “The Getaway”

After giving the album stream a whirl, I think the music is just flat-out pleasant.  May not grab you by your balls, but could definitely be a nice listen on the morning commute..  Athlete  also got a couple nice showcases at SXSW this year, including the Saturday Billboard showcase with Those Darlins, Dinosaur Bones, and Dead Confederate.
