Human Highway - Moody Motorcycle

Do you like the Islands? What about the Unicorns? If you answered yes to one of these questions you should check out Nick Thorburn and Jim Guthrie's side project, Human Highway. Their most recent release is Human Highway, which I must admit, is pretty amazing. While all of the songs follow a similar format, the album doesn't become overly repetitive. Each song has differently elements that are subtly added, such as timpani solos or string sections, and because of this, each track still flows nicely into the next, creating a continuous album.

Here's the track listing:
1. The Sound
2. All Day
3. Get Lost
4. What World
5. Sleep Talking
6. Moody Motorcycle
7. My Beach
8. Ode To Abner
9. Pretty Hair
10. Vision Failing
11. Duties Of A Lighthouse Keeper
12. I Wish I Knew

Check out tracks 6 and 8, they're the stand outs of the album. Also, you can hear more at their myspace

Travis Barker and DJ AM

Travis Barker (ex. Blink 182, Plus 44) and DJ AM are both in critical condition after their plane crashed today in South Carolina. They are the only two that survived. You can read more here. And to think, just yesterday I was driving around listening to old Blink songs.
