The new loud.

Punk music is getting good again.

Exhibit A:

Jay Reatard.

Clockcleaner (keep your eyes on these guys — '07 is gonna be their year).

And my personal favorite, Evil Army. Yeah, they're kinda metal, but so what?

The new Andrew Bird makes a fine come down from all the slashing and bashing.

I think I'm gonna go home now and watch the rain through the window of my studio. Isn't that romantic?
