“Check Yes Juliet” is the 2008 single off the debut album, We The Kings. This first full-length, by the band hailing from Florida, was released back in October of 2007. These guys will be part of the Vans Warped Tour.

So, I have been watching DVDs of Smallville. Thanks to my friend Victor who own’s all the seasons and wanted me to borrow them so that I could become extreamly unproductive. Anyway, while watching last night I heard the song “Falling” by Mindy Smith off her 2004 album, One Moment More. It reminded me of the song I fell in love with when that album came out, “Come to Jesus.” So, in case you missed it, here’s that video.

“Paisley Pattern Ground” is from the 2008 album Casting Shadows. This is the band’s second album after the debut, Chrimson Reflections. The 60’s and 70’s classic rock influence on this band is clearly noticeable from this music video, the suits and hair, and down to the psychedelic text on Chrimson’s album art.

West Indian Girl is a rock band from LA. They had a full-length in 2004 and an EP in 2006 comprised of remixes from thier first album. Both were on Astralwerks Records. Their latest is titled 4th and Wall and is on Milan Records. Here is a video for a song off 4th and Wall from 2007.

Moonbeams is the debut album by the five indie-pop artists who make up this band. It’s available on Secretly Canadian records (Bodies of Water, Windsor for the Derby) in LP and CD format. Casey Foubert of Sufjan Stevens helped with the construction of the album. So, again not a real video but you get the idea.

This is Amy Kuney. She released a debut album in March of 2006 that I never caught wind of. However, she has a new album coming out in August called Birds Eye View and songs from that album have been featured on my guilty pleasure drama “One Tree Hill.” This song, “All Downhill from Here,” played in the opening scene for this week’s episode. Amy also came to Rice University here in Houston last month for a free show. She doesn’t have any real music videos so I’m just gonna give you that opening scene. Here ya’ go…

Here ya’ go… the full official video for Coldplay’s “Violet Hill” from the new album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. It’s the first single off that album which will be released on June 12th.

Here’s another one from Duffy. Rockferry came out last Tuesday, May 13th. It’s a great debut, I’ve been listening for a week and I love it. Lot’s of people think she sounds like Amy Winehouse. I agree, but I think she’s a lot more subtle. She isn’t as bold or aggressive but I think that works for her. It’s an interesting video. All she wants us to see is how true her story is.

I think she’s good. I was waiting for a good YouTube of “Anywhere I Lay My Head” but there’s still just a still frame available and a photo compilation. So, “Falling Down” is the default, but a good one. Anywhere I Lay My Head is the debut studio album by actress Scarlett Johansson, releasing tomorrow, May 20, 2008. It features songs written by Tom Waits.

Alright here’s an official video for the 8 minute Death Cab single off Narrow Stairs. Hang in there. I know 8 minutes is long but this one’s good. The album comes out tomorrow.
