Drive A - Can't Sleep it Off

-----------Hope everyone had a magical Christmas, filled with tasty fudge, loved ones and a pony underneath the tree. Personally, I'm thrilled to finally have an ipod that can fit all of my music, and I've been re-checking album after album to get on my 160GB Titanic of mp3 storage.

Welcomed to my library is Drive A, a snarly bunch of punks that revive my faith in dirty, pissed-off SoCal punk. After a listen to Drive A's "Can't Sleep it Off," you won't be able to quash the impromptu rush of anger that made you break a lamp or table or something made of glass. Who doesn't want to hear a band that has melody AND impulsively commands you to disrespect your surroundings?!

Get ready for Drive A's tour with The Used, taking off in San Diego for a January/February circuit. Get "Can't Sleep it Off" from Drive A album, Loss of Desire.

Anya Marina - Whatever You Like

--------------Covers can be oh- so good a little bearable ,or oh- so lame, but Anya Marina's adaptation of T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" couldn't be better. The San Diego songwriter has penned music featured on scandalous tv shows the likes of Grey's Anatomy, The Real World and Gossip Girl. So why is Marina's "Whatever You Like" everything you want? The vibe drops from playa pimp to simple seductress with Marina's coy vocals and mischeviously simple instrumentals. Check out "Whatever You Like" on this nifty Youtube clip:
