We all love and adore Shane Henderson of Valencia, so when he signed on to produce Cody Hoffman's new EP, you knew you were going to get quality music. We're premiering the track "I'm Not Crazy" and it's got a great alt rock vibe that you can imagine hearing on the radio. Head to his AP.net profile and leave your thoughts in the replies.

Today we're premiering a new track called "The Fall Guy" from I Call Fives' upcoming full length. The band has been going at it for years but never put out an official full length but now is the time for the pop-punk act to show their chops when the album drops July 10th on Pure Noise Records. Head to the band's AP.net profile to check out the track and leave your thoughts in the replies.

You're going to need some time to sit down for this one this week. In case you haven't yet, please read NPR intern Emily White's blog. Then read professor and ex-musician David Lowery's response. Then read Travis Morrison of The Dismemberment Plan's response to Lowery. If you make it through all of that, I've got some thoughts on all three pieces here. What I want you to think about this week is the tangible ownership of music. If there's one vinyl record or CD in your collection that you would never part with, why? When and where did you get it, and is there a story behind it? Would love to hear why the tangible medium will never die from music fans instead of the press.

Believe You Me's music video for "Up From Here" is in the replies.

Like, really...you can't make up today's news. A mother starting singing Adele's "Rolling In the Deep" while her daughter was in a coma (she had been unresponsive for a week) and the comatose little girl smiled in response. Two days later, she was able to get out of bed.

From the Article

Charlotte remained in the coma for a week--when, one day, her mother came to visit and heard Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" playing on the radio. As this was a song she and Charlotte both enjoyed, Leila began singing along.

Unexpectedly, Charlotte smiled in response, surprising the hospital staff.

"I couldn't believe it," Leila Neve told the Telegraph. "It was the first time she had reacted to...

From the Interview

Obviously fans don’t like the situation that you guys went through, but fans can often grasp on to that. Are you really excited to see how fans connect with this new music as well?
Yeah man. It’s going to be different, but not too different. It’s still going to be a lot of what the fans love from our first album. Underdog Alma Mater is what determined our sound. So we’re going back to a lot of that, but we’re also keeping in mind that what we listen to now is a little different than what we listened to five...

Check out our interview with Ohio pop-punk trio The Dopamines here. The band's new record, Vices, is officially out through It's Alive Records today and you can stream it here.

From the Interview

A lot of the stuff on Vices is just kind of an arrangement of parts that are songs. Some of them don’t even have a beginning or an ending, it just happens and they’re over. Each song doesn’t have a crazy hook. Expect the Worst had a ton of hooks throughout, but I’d say Vices has some of the individual catchiest songs we’ve written yet.
