Today’s theme could be dreams. Tomorrow’s? Something different. Each Year has something it’s own Notorious Lightning we must avoid or be destroyed.

These songs might clear that all up.

Cansei de Ser Sexy’s new album Donkey had to do more than a few things. It had to show the world (more specifically CSS’s audience) that these Brazilians were not a one trick pony with an ipod touch commercial.

Between their debut album and Donkey, rumors of a collective nervous breakdown and the resulting departure of bassist Ira Trevisan. Ira’s post-css plans include everything from fashion design to saving the environment!

If you can dig Post-Ira CSS, then buy their album.

There are certain times in everyone’s life when one may feel lost, discarded or disoriented. Take this young lady for example; the dirt encrusted white canvas vans shoes say, I’m not afraid to swallow my pride and shop at urban outfitters, the pink leggings? I want to party like a slut, without actually being one, the downcast look, This show isn’t as cool as it’s supposed to be…Where’s the cobrasnake?

When I feel lost I tend to cling to the familiar, the classics, the songs you know you’ll love regardless of how many times you hear them.

From Cobra Snake to Cobra Krames, a fresh twist on an old favorite, a One More Time remix worth reminiscing about.

Jacksonville’s Black Kids debut LP release Partie Traumatic has begun its inaugural lap around the internet. For me personally this will be a testament to see if the young band can fill the very large shoes the success of their singles I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You and Hurricane Jane have cobbled for them.

Their success also signals a new echelon in the music industry. They represent the possibility of that temporal myspace generation of bands and solidify the music blog and streaming websites as a viable if not preferential marketing strategy for said bands.

Check out some of the new tracks and tell me what you think.

Because this is probably the first Friday I’ve ever had time to make a post, because this weekend – for me – promises to be a real barn burner, because its pretty much the middle of the summer and everyone else should be having fun and because everybody’s working for the weekend.
