Peter Bjorn and John

Swedish rockers Peter Bjorn and John (aka PB&J, the coolest band name ever), have returned with a new single "Second Chance".

It's so good.

Have a listen.

Adele/21

When Adele's sophmore album became available for pre-order on iTunes, I, without hesitation, hit that pre-order button and counted down the days until I could call it my own. When the day came, I sat and listened to the album song by song, straight through, and thought only one thing: genius.

I hesitantly say that 21 is perhaps, my favorite album of 2011 (So far. I mean, who's to say The Killers and the Velvet Underground won't make a whole album together, and feature The Vaccines on it? That'll be the day.) The album has a R&B, jazz, pop, straight blues, vibe that compliments her voice brilliantly. It's obvious that in the two years between her albums, she's gone through and awful lot. From love, in "I Found a Boy" to hopefulness, in "I'll Be Waiting" to terrible heartbreak, in "Someone Like You", Adele is sharing those experiences with you. Check out her album, 21. I promise you won't regret it.

Have a listen to this version of "Someone Like You" by Adele, with a small interview.

LCD Soundsystem Goes Out With a Bang

Electro-gods LCD Soundsystem has announced their farwell concert to take place Saturday, April 2nd. The show is expected to be epic and massive, jam packed with guests, and will be at Madison Square Garden. Those who attend have been asked by the band to wear black, white, or black and white, as it is the 'funeral' of the band. The band states on their site: "We are retiring from the game. Gettin’ out. Movin’on. But for just one more night, we will be playing with friends and family for nearly 3 hours–playing stuff we’ve never played before and going out with a bang. And we’d like you to be there."

Tickets are expected to go on sale February 11, with a fan pre-sale on the band's site, and pitchfork. More information is expected to be posted tommorow.

Thank you, LCD Soundsystem, for the invitation, and what's more, thanks for the top-notch eight years of comical babbling to electronic beats that you have provided us. May you live posthumously. (Expect a full eulogy April 2-4!)
