Phoenix....Um.....DAMN...Seriously

FEATURED ARTIST: PHOENIX official site myspace [MP3] Phoenix - Long Distance Call [MP3] Phoenix - Napoleon Says So a little over two months ago I downloaded "Long Distance Call" from a blog. I totally forget which one. I remember downloading it becuase Phoenix were the only band playing Coachella I thought I had never heard of. A quick peak at my iTUNES and I discovered they had a track on the Lost In Translation soundtrack. Kudos. And Kudos to "Long Distance Call" for being the song most oftenly sung in JAX's shower. I don't know why I waited so long to make a post about Phoenix. Maybe it's because RockInsider is slowly swinging towards covering just upcoming Los Angeles shows and LA based bands. Or maybe its because Im just lazy (I think it's the latter of the two). Needless to say, I just got the Parisian quartet's new album, It's Never Been Like That, in the post today and I don't think I've loved an album SOOO MUCH so quickly since...well yesterday...but DAMNIT! is it sooo good. So fuck y'all... get off me and my definitive phrases. There. I've said my peace. Now go buy this album right now so you can say you had it before they got fucking huge and we're all over Rolling Stone, Spin, Jeopardy, and did guest spots on The Surreal Life.
