Angry-white-boy dance music is back. Or is it?


Today in Erin-finds-out-about-music news: Head Automatica has a new song out, from "Popaganda!" which I'm assuming is their new album. They're in the studio now putting it together. Layin' some tracks, is that what the kids are calling it?

You supposedly can preview it on the Purevolume site, but it's not streaming, and I'm getting annoyed. The album's due out by May or June.

Unfortunately, I love Head Automatica for their angry-white-boy dance music vibe, and they're turning it down a few notches, apparently. I wanted another album with 12 "Beating Heart Baby"s on it. They're going for a "Northern soul" vibe, whatever that means. "It's as white-boy soul as you can get," Daryl said to MTV. Eek. No, boys, come back! Come make me dance!

Unfortunately No. 2, Daryl Palumbo's also going back in the studio with his other band, Glassjaw, a group that knows how to get me in a bad mood quickly. Blah. Glassjaw's new album is due in 2007. Please don't tell Dave. He'll buy it out of spite.
