Cut Off Your Hands- Expectations

I've been waiting for this album to finally be released in North America. I have had a different version of this track for a while now and it was one of my faves last year. Its been cleaned up alot and slowed down but the sing-a-long quality of it still holds.

Longwave- I Don't Dare

The Worst Taste In Music is alive in 2009. Very well "produced" rock song to kick off the new year.

Passion Pit- Sleepy Head

I really wish this song could be a minute longer.  Maybe then the play count wouldnt be at 22 right now...

New Order

If you consider yourself any kind of music fan of the 1980s then it's your duty to listen to New Order.  So if you haven't then there's no better time then now because their first 5 albums have been remastered and reissued(all are double discs).  Here's my standouts from each album.

New Order- Ceremony (taken from Movement 1981)

New Order - Lonesome Tonight (taken from Power, Corruption, & Lies 1983)

New Order - Love Vigilantes (taken from Low-Life 1985)

New Order - 1963 (taken from Brotherhood 1986)

New Order - Run (taken from Technique 1989)
