I was never a huge fan of The Rocket Summer but I’m really digging Do You Feel. Also be sure to check out the new MxPx and Sound The Alarm albums.

In between “Take Home Chef” segments, I saw (for the 5th-ish time) a commercial for the new TLC series, “Diagnosis X”.

During each preview-commercial, I progressively got more and more into the theme music..

..Looked up who did the background/theme and found this band, the Athlete.

New to me, they’ve opened for U2.

Also, I can never get enough of Hail Social .

Down to Earth Approach just released a great record entitled Come Back to You. This Tuesday a stellar group known as Scenes from a Movie release their debut full length, The Pulse. Everyone have a great week, and who’s stoked for The Simpson’s Movie?
