If you are not doing anything on April 3rd you really need to buy a ticket to The New Limb’s album release show at The House of Blues in Anaheim.  Yes, there’s been some great albums this year so far but I am not lying in saying this one is probably my most anticipated.  I know I gush quite a bit about these guys on here, but they deserve it.  They are definitely one of the most talented and charismatic bands I’ve seen perform in ages and from what I hear their debut full length will not disappoint.  Also, they recently won Best Indie Band at the OC Music Awards, so if that doesn’t say something, I don’t know what does.  I am saddened by the fact that I will be out of town that weekend but I know there will be plenty more chances to see the band as they are only going to get bigger after this monumental show!

While I said earlier that I agreed with Rolling Stone’s assesment of Radiohead being the band of the decade, I have to say that Starflyer 59′s Dial M is my choice for album of the decade.  I have listened to it more in the two years it has been out than any other album I have pretty much ever.  That’s saying a lot since I pretty much listen to music all day long.  I can never grow tired of the combined rock and synth sounds,  a blend that Jason Martin has truly perfected on this album.  After The Brothers Martin album was released in 2007 I knew that Jason’s next offering would be something special and I certainly wasn’t let down.  If you haven’t checked this out yet, you are totally missing out.
