New Music Tuesday: Harlem, Dr. Dog, Jónsi, Doves & Nice Nice



So I spent a couple hours last night putting together the list of all the new releases and somehow it got deleted so here are the ones the we recommend to you with all of our hearts. I know there is a ton of shit I left off but I don't have the time or mental fortitude to do this all over again. It's not like anybody cares anyway :'-(

Harlem: Hippies
Dr. Dog: Shame, Shame
Jónsi: Go
Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings: I Learned The Hard Way
Doves: The Places Between: The Best of Doves
Nice Nice: Extra Wow
Murder by Death: Good Morning, Magpie

Tonight In The Valley: Titus Andronicus | Cymbals Eat Guitars | Nice Nice | The Loneliest Monk

cymbals_eat_guitars_03

Tonight is a night of tough decisions. It’s not something we are really used to anymore since DVR’s and the internet enable us to watch whatever we want whenever we want. Especially in Phoenix we usually have a pretty clear cut idea of where and what we are going to do, but a few times a year we get a night like tonight... Way too many good shows to choose from!

I am pretty sure I am going to Cymbals Eat Guitars at The Rhythm Room but I am this close to changing my mind and going to Titus Andronicus at Chyro Arts. The Loneliest Monk at Lost Leaf or Nice Nice at The Trunk Space are also going on but not really factoring into my decision menu, not because they aren't good but I have to draw a line somewhere right? I wish I would have had the same policy at the "Wine Party" I attented on Saturday night. I probably wouldn't have these tattoos of Scooby and Scrappy Do on each of my butt cheeks... live and learn right?

Check out some live videos from each band after the break to help you with your own personal conundrum.
