New Music Tuesday: 3-13-12

Hello one and all. The weather in Chicago is sunny, beautiful and doing absolutely nothing to take my mind off of the fact that South by Southwest is taking place and I am no where near Austin to enjoy it. Next year, I am making it my mission as an honorary Goonie to make it my time. I will even do the Truffle Shuffle if it means someone will take me with them. Now, let’s see what new music we’ll be listening to this week.

Wallis Bird – Wallis Bird (Rubyworks/Bird Records)

Thanks to @Emily_Duno for the head’s up about Wallis Bird’s latest album which dropped last Friday! Here’s the only rub: Those of us in the U.S. don’t have a way to download it just yet. Please take this time to imagine you are hearing the sounds of a sad trombone coming from my direction. Since I know that many of you are outside of the states, I wanted to include this gem because from the bits and pieces I’ve been able to stream, it sounds like the out singer-songwriter has put together a rich and polished album filled with personality and emotion. If any of you are able and would like to give us your take on the album, please feel free to do so in the comments! For now, heres the one full song I was able to find:

Honorable Mentions: VCMG, Tribes, Fenster, Say Anything, Miike Snow, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Hands Like Houses, Twin Atlantic, One Direction, Shooter Jennings, Lucero, The Delta Spirit, The Decemberists (Live), Meatloaf (this one is killing me because it features guests like Chuck D, Lil Jon and Mark McGrath), Soulfly, Ruben Studdard and Dave Barnes.

That’s it for this week but before I sign off, I wanted to let anyone who didn’t know – The Gossip just released the first single from their upcoming album, A Joyful Noise, and it is hot. Stream it “Perfect World” right here and as always, feel free to follow me on Twitter, friend me on Facebook and if you’re listening to something tasty or need a recommendation, remember to add the #MyGayDJ tag to your tweets!
