Whats up music lovers? Not that anyone cares but its week three of This Week's Tempo and I have lots of info to share. I'm still trying to find a more interesting way to do this so you may see some new features and layouts today and in the upcoming weeks. If there are any aspiring designers out there reading this I NEED YOUR HELP! I just now realized how retarded I am at this. I need a new design for The Tempo and anyone interested in trying it out is more than welcome just hit me up via email. Well onto what no one on Earth cares about(my writing).
Lets start with a new segment I like to call: "Things that Make you Go WHAAAAAT??!?

Mistress Stephanie and Her Melodic Cat. Um someone please tell me they didn't laugh at every song. This is brilliant if not downright frightening. Lets get some feedback on this. If I could take this seriously I would comment on it but I gotta finish laughing.
New Stuff
When Yellowcard left Capital Records a few years ago I was hoping for a signing from another big time company. When that didn't happen I was TICKED! But it's nice to see Ryan Key doing well with his new project. "Big If" is his new duo with Sean O'Donnell from the largely unknown but talented indie band "Reeve Oliver." Check both these bands out although Reeve Oliver has now disbanded their music phenomenal. Big If should take off with an album release hopefully sometime this year.
This wasn't in my notes or outline but if you miss bands like Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, and Sugarcult you are not alone. What happened to true Pop Punk music!? It all sounds the same now. The only bands I hear doing anything remotely interesting is So They Say and Amber Pacific. Maybe I'm just tired of hearing similar sounding songs come on one after the other on the radio. Some examples: A Rocket to The Moon, Boys Like Girls, Forever The Sickest Kids. Whats the deal with this melodramatic music? Oh Well I digress...
My favorite day of the week other than Saturday has to be Tuesday. NEW MUSIC DAY. I feel like Billy Madison on Nudie Magazine day. Sure theres a couple I look at that makes me sick but there's always the Drunk Chicks mag. This weeks Drunk Chicks mag:
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's new single Beat The Devil's Tattoo. From the album of the same name. The Album Release Day is set for March 9th and this single is absolutely amazing. It showcases a great blues sound and for fans of Darker My Love and Kasabian this song and band is for you. For more BRMC check out their album Baby 81.
Must Hear Song: "Berlin"
If you like Type O Negative, Danzig, Depeche Mode, Tool, Stabbing Westward, Nine Inch Nails, or HIM then check out Dommin's first release. Love is Gone is a really good album. yeah sure its a little gloomy but features very melodic song structures and razor like riffery. Plus Kristofer Dommin is probably the next best voice out there! check it out. I promise it won't hurt!
Must Hear Song: Dommin's cover of "(I just) Died In Your Arms Tonight"
Album Review!!!!
Story of The Year's The Constant
I have to admit I was a little disappointed in this album; it is still a solid release but not a must have. The Constant is the fourth release from SOTY but it sounds more like a Freshman or Sophomore album. They don't disappoint on big catchy choruses but this band never ventures into any ground breaking material. A lot of guitar effects on this album help the overall sound and keep it from being boring enough to lull one into sleep but maybe just maybe the some of the better songs like The Ghost of You and I can save this album. If you're gonna purchase The Constant get the Deluxe edition for the strong bonus cuts which I feel are the strongest songs on the album. If you're looking for a similar sound but more musicality check out 30 Seconds to Mars' great new album This Is War.

This Is IT
Hello ladies and gents. It's now the time of the week for you favorite con artist to trick you into thinking he knows what he's talking about. You guessed it. It's ME! Oh how silly you all are. Well here we go. In the words of the great Eric Idle,
New Bands
"Ladies and gentlemen, someone whom I've always personally admired, perhaps more deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than ever before. A man, well more than a man, a god , a great god, whose personality is so totally and utterly wonderful my feeble words of welcome sound wretchedly and pathetically inadequate. Someone whose boots I would gladly lick clean until holes wore through my tongue, a man who is so totally and utterly wonderful, that I would rather be sealed in a pit of my own filth, than dare tread on the same stage with him. Ladies and gentlemen, the incomparably superior human being", Jack White. Along with Alison Mosshart, Jack Lawrence and Dean Fertita they are The Dead Weather.
While this band has been around for awhile; I have just recently stumbled upon their greatness. With a video for their single "Treat Me Like Your Mother" directed by one of the best in the biz Johnathon Glazer, TDW has become one of my favorite bands. Readers please take the time to watch this video you will be impressed with its intensity and how ties so well with what you're hearing.
Must Hear Song: I Cut Like a Buffalo
A relatively new band, Phantogram has taken over my internet radio waves. This duo has some mad talent and you gotta respect that. Check out their first attempt Eyelid Movies that was released just last week; which I thought really pulled heavily from the fathers of electronic music Depeche Mode. These guys have impressed me and I hope some of you guys can feel these sick beats.
Must Hear Song: When I'm Small
Familiar Faces:
Anyone else who is tired of hearing Kesha, Justin Bieber, and Nickleback on the radio should be prepared to keep hearing these artists until they are run into the ground, but for those optimistic few lets check out some Familiar Faces.
Coheed and Cambria released a new single "The Broken" just last week for the new album "Year of the Black Rainbow" set to release on April 13 of this year. Coca has always had a catchy hook for their listeners. If that is what you're looking for you won't find it in this song. A straight shooting hard rocking tune that all the headbangers can enjoy. I absolutely love the intensity in this song, and it is something this band has missed on with their previous work. Lets hope this album continues like that.
My boy TobyMac owns 3 of the top ten christian songs of the week and has a new album released that I can't stop listening to. "Tonight" is one of Toby's most diverse albums of his career. I really love how in each song there is something new. This album is certainly not boring, and to all the hip hop fans something to listen to.
Must Hear Song: and this is a tough one. City On Our Knees
Music I just Can't Stop Listening To
Breaking Benjamin: I Will Not Bow
Chevelle: Jars
Gorillaz: Stylo
AFI: Medicate
Muse: Undisclosed Desires
Norah Jones: Don't Know Why
Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris: Hallelujah
Bands I just Can't Stop Listening to
Spoken
As Cities Burn
The Showdown
Four Year Strong
Cage the Elephant
The Boxer Rebellion
Thats all for this week folks I'm looking for suggestions on how to make this better. Any comments or anything feel free to email me or comment. All suggestions are appreciated. If there are any bands you would like me to do a review on just do the same. If you enjoyed it please pass this along to your friends. And just for taking up all your time I now offer a free back rub available upon request.
Thanks All! Have a tremendous week,
