Suckers - A Mind I Knew

------------The weekend of June 11 and 12 will blow my ears away, with Passion Pit added to the concert ensemble. In lieu of the festivities, I want to say safe travels and great times to those of you attending Bonnaroo this weekend in Manchester! Though my weekend will be fun, the festival experience is one of a kind. Just don't be like these bros over here --------->

In other news, Suckers are streaming their new album on Myspace, and oodles of fans are ready to hear it. The song "A Mind I Knew" floats on like Modest Mouse and gets down with organic noise effects like Yeasayer. The Brooklyn quartet will make it's summer tour and work into fall promoting Wild Smile.

Here's the list, so adorably (not really) named "Campfire Jams"

1. The Gaslight Anthem, "American Slang"
2. The National, "Bloodbuzz Ohio"
3. Manchester Orchestra, "Shake It Out"
4. Kings of Leon, "Cold Desert"
5. Local Natives, "World News"

At least they didn't pick the King's song "Use Somebody," am I right? I took a listen to it, and found some new favorites from the likes of Dawes and Bomba Estereo. The word "stereo" is in the name! So if you're working in the fish and biology tutoring industries like me over the summer and can't spare a gold dubloon for the ultrasuperpricy ticket price.
