Saturn in bloghairs.

1. I realized this morning that Rumbleseat (an old acoustic side project of Chris and Chuck from Hot Water Music) were totally awesome. Don't believe me? Listen:







So, so, so good, especially on a Sunday morning. Go buy their discography, Is Dead, from No Idea Records immediately, won't you?

2. There's been a massive influx of new music coming to me at work over the past week or so, including many hotly anticipated discs coming out in September and October. While I don't have time to properly review each and every release here, I thought maybe we could do something fun -- you leave me a comment telling me what upcoming release you want to know about, and I will write a haiku about it. You know, those three-line, 5/7/5-syllable poems you learned in grade school? For example:

Bayside - Shudder (out Sept. 30 on Victory)
A pleasant surprise (5)
One song sounds like Set Your Goals (7)
No, seriously! (5)

Rise Against - Appeal To Reason (out Oct. 7 on DGC/Interscope)
Midtempo clunkers (5)
Are all over this record (7)
I'm disappointed (5)

Get the idea? Okay, leave me a comment telling what upcoming release you want me to haiku it up for, and my next blog will deliver the goods.
