“Bombs Away” is the first single off of Whole Wheat Bread’s long in the making sophomore full length which is due out January 20. The Hearts of Hoodlums is the follow up to 2006’s The Punk Life EP and features contributions from Rancid’s Tim Armstrong, Lil’ John, and Street Dogs frontman Mike McColgan.
The SNL video was funny for about five minutes, but Cousin Cole’s house mix of “Jizz in My Pants” gives the track some replay value.

Say what you will about Fall Out Boy, at least they give props to bands that deserve it.
Viper Bite Records, a new label out of Rochester, New York sent me an mp3 from one of their artists Auld Lang Syne that I found pretty sweet. I don’t usually go for the bluegrass tinged tunes, but the chorus on this track has a killer hook that won me over.

For those who haven’t heard of Washington, D.C.’s Wale you will next year after he drops his debut Back to the Feature. He’s one rising star in the rap game I have no problem getting behind. But until that debut is released we’ll have to be content with the mixtape teaser singles. The newest one features Minneapolis’ Brother Ali and can be found on the DJ Benzi produced mixtape The New Deal which comes out tomorrow via 10.Deep.
Brother Ali, always best when he’s angry, tears it up on the second half of the “2nd Time” track posted below.

The Eels did the soundtrack for the new Jim Carrey film Yes Man? Huh.

I got a great Neutral Milk Hotel cover in our inbox today from Appleton, Wisconsin’s The Chairs. It comes off their new November EP, due out next week. Visit their website to hear more tracks streaming from that EP.
A simple but awesome track off the recently released Thirteens LP that just may end up being one of my favorite singles of the year. If you download the album from iTunes you get this bonus duet with Ryan Adams.

Produced by Brother Ali.
New single from Brother Ali rapping to his son about how overjoyed he is that Barack Obama is our next President.
I’ve been hesitant to post anything about the nearly two decade in the making release of the new Guns N’ Roses album since there have been so many false release date rumors over the past several years. However, with a press release by G N’ R’s camp confirming Chinese Democracy’s imminent release and Dr. Pepper going through with their promise (kinda) to give everyone in the U.S. a free can of soda if the album comes out this year, I figure that maybe the record will actually see the light of day this time.
According to Best Buy’s website, who have exclusive distribution of the album here in the states, Chinese Democracy will be foregoing the regular Tuesday release date and instead come out on on Sunday, November 23, giving it an extra two days of sales to go towards first week numbers. It will be available on CD, digital download, and vinyl (with free download option) and can be pre-ordered now at BestBuy.com. Of the 14 tracks on the album, 11 have leaked in one form or another over the last few years, many in multiple versions.
To redeem your free can of Dr. Pepper, all you have to do is register online at drpepper.com on November 23 and you will receive a coupon for a free 20 oz. Dr. Pepper. The catch? the coupon will take approximately 6 weeks to arrive, is only valid for 24 hours, and expires Feb. 28.
