The 11 Best Songs By The White Rabbits

With the White Rabbits being so well known for their energetic live show, it's so surprising how subdued their albums are.  It's like their albums are the rough draft and the live show is the final product.  It just sucks for all of us who don't get to see them in their live shows and are stuck with their albums...which are still pretty amazing.  It is nice to hear that a band today doesn't just play their recorded album when they play live...and just lip sync their way through the night...then talk about how draining playing live is.  The White Rabbits leave it all on the floor when they play live.  It's like they actually care that people are paying their hard earned money to see them perform.  How novel.

Here are the 11 Best Song By the White Rabbits:

1. They Done Wrong/We Done Wrong (It's Frightening)
2. Percussion Drum (It's Frightening)

The 11 Best Albums of 2009: 12-22 (Part 4)

I've noticed that my excitement for new releases is much lower than it used to be. When a new Pearl Jam album came out...I lined up at midnight at Tower Records just to be the first to buy it. I still go buy albums the day they come out...but it's usually a Tuesday ritual rather than a special treat. But this year...there were a few albums that got my juices going. The 4 unreleased Beck albums were quite nice since they were unavailable in a store. But these were given away for free. So, as cool as they were...anyone could get them. But there was another unreleased album that I got fanatic over. That would be the Sparklehorse/DangerMouse album...why? Because it was never available anywhere. Not to download. Not to buy. Getting a copy wasn't just exciting...it was like a treasure hunt. For those few days while I tracked down each song, I was excited over a new release since...as I had been when waiting in line at midnight.

New month means new $5 albums. Check out the store for the new Lady Gaga, 50 Cent, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alec Ounsworth, Major Lazer, new Green Day, Wale, Dodos, My Morning Jacket, and a buttload of Christmas albums.
