The Wombats - Kill the Director

-----------------Sometimes when you want to know what qualifies as good music, you should ask a local. To illustrate this scenario, a lovely lad from across the pond introduced me to The Wombats, a Liverpool rock group that performed their first gig donning jester hats and sunglasses. Even though The Wombats claimed that they began as a group that didn't want to be taken seriously, their goofy and rambunctious rock n' roll have landed them a spot opening for the Kaiser Chiefs and a #35 slot on the U.K. charts for "Kill the Director." This cinematic fubar is about singer Matthew "Murph" Murphy taking his girl to a posh dinner theater, only to find out the movie is "no Bridget Jones." Get "Kill the Director" from The Wombats' album A Guide to Love, Loss, and Desperation.

Panic at the Disco - The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage

-------------Today, theatrical rock quartet Panic at the Disco should reinsert the exclamation point in their name - and a question mark, since members Ryan Ross and John Walker have split ties in order to persue personal musical interests. What does this mean for Panic fans clutching tour tickets? According to buzznet.com, all scheduled performances will continue as promised.

So today, S.A.S. honors the Las Vegas showmen with a string quartet tribute to their breakout album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Each song is delicately and meticulously interpreted through fiddle, viola, violin, and cello, giving the genre 'classic rock' a whole new look. The songs are all instrumental, so if you feel like donning a poofy hat and belting your favorite Panic songs like a robust opera man, go for it. Fans of Fall Out Boy can also hear the string quartet cover Fall From Under the Cork Tree. Get "The Only Difference..." from the album, Strung Out on Panic! At the Disco.
