Day & Age dropped this week, and to further promote not only a great band (The Killers) but a great album as well, Visually Delicious this time around is going to be devoted in its entirety to The Killers. Enjoy, and buy their g-ddamned album.The Killers -- Smile Like You Mean ItTo kick things off, a throwback to Hot Fuss, the album that started it all. I didn't pull out the 2002 favourite, "

Completely putting aside the fact that I'm am in lust love with Brandon Flowers, I must say that The Killers new album, Day & Age is monstrously good. I've listened to a barrage of new albums in the last three days, but by far Day & Age is my favourite. The genres are definitely blurred on the album, though rock alternative remains its core, the funk and up-tempo beats prevalent throughout the

Shitty Photoshopping aside, let me say this now: Circus is brilliant. I was a major fan of Ms. Spears last effort, Blackout--an album grossly overshadowed by the singer's batshit crazy antics at the time, but dayum! has Circus got it beat! Warmer, more playful, more Britney in general, and with two ballads thrown in for good measure, Circus is bound to quickly become a fan favourite. It's funky

Anyone who knows me, is fully aware of my undying musical love for Kanye West. His music is just so damn addicting--it's like crack, I swear. Anyways, yesterday I said I wasn't aware of the current happenings in the music world, so today I thought I'd remedy that, and am I oh so glad I did! Kan-yeezy has released a million songs since I've been away! Okay, so I exaggerated a bit, he's released

Long hiatus, eh? I'm not going to promise you I'll update more, since I've promised you many times before, and have yet to do so. As of late, instead of discovering new tunes and acts, I've been re-discovering some old favourites: Third Eye Blind, New Found Glory, Incubus, Nirvana, etc. Third Eye Blind has definitely hit me hard, their self-titled album is pure pop-rock brilliance in a 90 minute

Stripped of the booty-shaking riffs, given the opportunity to showcase her vocal range, and filled with enough relationship and gender angst, "If I Were A Boy" is shaping up to be an autumnal anthem for the ladies. Beyonce sounds amazing on the track, the only thing amiss are some of the lyrics--not to mention the interesting (for lack of a better word) video for the song. Some of the lyrics

Lifehouse, a band whose debut album saw me through my first major high school crush and my first love. Seeing as those events happened over half a decade ago, I feel old. Well, at least that is how I felt yesterday when I heard their latest single, "Broken," for the first time. The song is a solid broken-heart power ballad, and Jason's soulful voice provides that extra oomph in it. A song that I

The fact that the title of this mix has the potential to open a philosophical discussion speaks volumes 2to me at the moment, especially with the predicament I presently find myself in concerning all sectors of my life. I am suppose to be sifting through my belongings (once again). Deciding what to scrap and what to keep, because frankly, this moving business is for the dogs, and the less I have

Bob Dylan--keeper of my heart. My musical lover is playing Prospect Park on August 12th. I'd kill for tickets. Ok, maybe I am too much of a lover to ever kill anything, the point is: I want to go. Problem? Too poor. The tickets are steep, $55 for the lawn, but it's friggin' Bob Dylan. I am actually kind of surprised tickets are still available. Last year I saw him at Bethel Woods, a venue much

If you're into singer-songwriters, then here is a name you need to know: Peter Bradley Adams. A little Bob Dylan-esque, a little Damien Rice, and a whole lotta good, Peter Bradley Adams is destined for big things, and I encourage you all to check him out. He's a heart and soul with a guitar, I don't know how else to describe it. Adams's songs transport me back upstate, to the long weekend drives

Ben Folds--glasses-wearin'singer-songwriter who's had a piece of my heart since middle school, is set to release Way to Normal--his first disc of new material in three years--on September 30, 2008. On the 17th of this month, an anonymous user (believed by many to be Mr. Ben Folds himself) posted a leak of Way To Normal. The leak isn't the complete album, the original leak has 9 of the 12 songs

And the bitch is back. R.M.'s favourite trainwreck of a diva, Britney Spears, is back with a new song, "She'll Never Be Me." Ok, so the song isn't completely new since a demo of it was leaked last year, but this si the real deal now, ya hear?Not the best of songs, but definitely not trash either. I am still thoroughly convinced that Ms. Spears could once again reign supreme on the pop charts. I

Broken Social Scene--indie-thuper-band-extradoniares. I'm not even going to pretend that I know anything about them. Before the Siren Festival this past Saturday, I knew only one of their songs: "Fucked Up Kid." Admittedly, I was blown away by their set. Their frontman and main vox, Kevin Drew, was extremely charming and personable with the crowd. He had me captivated. As amazing as they sounded

Adorable, right? Anyways, perusing Hype Machine as I am wont to do when it comes to stimulating my ears with new tunes, I stumbled upon David Myles tune, "I Don't Want to Know." A smooth and gritty voiced singer-songwriter with a voice eerily similar to unlike Jakob Dylan, I instantly fell. Since I am over my box account limit, and cannot seem to find a lone stream of "I Don't Want to Know," I am
