I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Is it summer yet?

Adam Pfleider

Listening to a lot of Unwound lately, but then I received Duck. Little Brother, Duck!'s Don't Take Our Filth Away, and it's been on repeat since Thursday.

Jason Tate

Hmmm, that new John Mayer album is pretty damn good. I also didn't hate "Safe House" (the movie), and thought "Tree of Life" was a damn masterpiece if you haven't seen it yet.

Alex DiVincenzo

I finally got my Blink 182 tattoo, so I've been listening to a lot of their music to celebrate.

Dre Okorley

There's this kid from Chicago who just started rapping. He goes by MikeyDubs. Check out his mixtape here. It's not the most lyrically original, but it's that dancy new school stuff that are for fans of Yonas.

Christian Wagner

I've been listening to Victory In Numbers, New Found Glory's Coming Home, and bought a shirt to support Hit The Lights after the recent robbery of their personal belongings. I also just CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan from the Over The Limit PPV, could be Match Of The Year.

Jason Gardner

Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) and The World is a Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have two things in common to me right now. They both have kind of long names, but they also both killed it at Bledfest yesterday. Also was able to snag The Swellers' new 7-inch yesterday. Certainly enjoying that.

Deborah Remus

Billy Talent finally released another new song this week and I recommend you check it out. Also check out Precursor.

Jake Denning

I've been listening to a lot of For Today, Squid The Whale, and P.O.D. this week; pretty excited for P.O.D.'s new album, "Murdered Love", out in July.
