I know this isn't hip hop. Deal with it. I've been following these guys for several years now and it's been worth my time. And no, I don't have any weird sexual steam-punk fantasies. So don't ask.
The Cog is Dead! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XKJE-F4Shg
The second album by The Cog is Dead was released today (Full Steam Ahead). I listened to it. It is good. So far I haven't found it as enjoyable or captivating as their first release (Steam Powered Stories), but still worthy of a listen or two. My view may change. At least they didn't butcher their second release the way Cage the Elephant did.
So go and listen to The Cog is Dead now. :)

Recommendations for May 24
Hey everyone (or just myself)!
This week I have a few recommendations for all of you in film and music. Next week (or next month?) may feature things not film or music, but for the moment that's what you/I get.
1. My Blueberry Nights (2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765120/
A terrific film by Wong Kar Wai, it is cinematographic brilliance.
2. There Will Be Blood (2007)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Another terrific film, it couldn't be more different from MBN. That being said, it showcases Paul Thomas Anderson's style, and the never failing Daniel Day Lewis.
1. Songs from the Rain (Hothouse Flowers)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUl-BwD5bKA
One of the best albums by Hothouse Flowers, it's hippie without feeling annoying preachy or deliberately ignorant. Great for relaxing summer days spent looking at clouds.
