Maroon 5 is at it again, and have just released their newest single, Makes Me Wonder. And while the wait has been long, it hasn't been long enough. During their break, they definately acquired some language, and if this song is any indication, failed to produce something worthy of the hype they surely will get. Listen for yourself if you must, but it's really probably not worth it.

But it's Friday and nobody likes a pessimistic post on Friday. So here are some tracks that I have enjoyed lately. First off, we have a song by The Avett Brothers. A friend from Vanderbilt introduced me to this eccentric trio that lives somewhere between Sufjan Stevens and Ryan Adams. With a lot of weird thrown in. I hope you enjoy. They have a new album coming out May 15 and a free download on their myspace. You should check it.

Secondly, I give you something a little less energetic but definately as gut-wrenching. One of my new favorite bands of all time has an album releasing May 22, and you would be making a dramatic mistake by not picking it up. I'm talking about The National, of course. The album hasn't stopped playing on my little hard drive since I got it, and I don't anticipate it stopping anytime soon. Here's a taste of it for you. It's definately not my favorite track on the record, but is still a solid peice of brilliance.

That'll do. Let me know what you think.

maroon 5 quite tragic i must admit.
the second...instrumentation and the song in theory great; however, i couldn't get past the vocals...
i really liked the last one.
have you heard "this time around" by helen star?
Yep "Makes Me Wonder" could have been a lot better. But, considering some of the content on their previous album I can't say I'm suprised.
