The Wrecks - Favorite Liar

| Kerri

I remember weekends
'fore we got too cool for them
And I remember thinking
Maybe we could just pretend tonight
For just tonight

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna wake up feeling tired
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay there for awhile

But that don't change that you're a
Liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
Cuz I'm not buying the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now anyway
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I knew and liked this song but only caught The Wrecks at SXSW by virtue of venue location. Oh man, that was a happy accident! I was rewarded with a face full of THEY.ARE.SO.GOOD!! They happily, hoppily, confidently filled ~30 minutes with amazing stage presence and top notch original material (that's about 2/3rds unreleased). I really think they could be big. If you haven't heard the story yet, The Wrecks basically snuck into a friend-of-a-friend's recording studio (a perk of being L.A. kids) and made their little 3 song EP in like two days, then released it to the world. That was last year, and it was a great move on their part. "Favorite Liar" has all the right rockin embers to catch fire and bring them quickly to national attention.

Blondie - Long Time

| Kerri

I've been running circles 'round a night that never ends
I've been chasing heartache, in a city and a friend
I've been with you so long, even seen you lose it, but who cares?
Racing down The Bowery, on a crowded afternoon
Tripping from The Davenport above your insecure typhoon
Can you even want me, or is this just a way to keep you safe?

Take me, then lose me, then tell them I'm yours
Are you, happy?

Does it take you a long time?
Does it make you upset?
Does it make you think everybody wants to be your friend?
I can give you a heartbeat, I can give you a friend
I can make you think everybody wants to be your friend

Drinking with your cell phone with a smile on your face
Happy in success, but still a thousand miles away
Is this what you wanted, is this everything you had in store?

Maybe you've already heard that legendary act Blondie was back together and touring with perfect-but-you-never-imagined-it-would-happen 90s band Garbage. But, if you're me, it took you a few beats longer to realize that Blondie was also coming out with *new* music. And it's really, really good. Fitting perfectly in the current alt rock landscape while still sounding totally Blondie. "Long Time", just released a week ago, was co-written by Dev Hynes of Blood Orange and I think it's convinced me I need to make it to one of their tour dates this summer!

Morning Teleportation - The Code

| Keith
Lyrics redacted because I couldn't make them out at all. Haha.

"The Code" has a lot going on; funky bass breakdowns, some classical guitar plucking, groovy beats, piping horns, dramatic pauses, ethereal vocals and a catchy hook. Before you doubt, however, it's very nicely blended and works really well. Listening to some of Morning Teleportation's (great name, BTW) older stuff reveals more, maybe too much, heh, eclectic craziness. I'll be keeping an eye on them and their upcoming release Salivating for Symbiosis
