This is another one of my all time favourite videos; Tomahawk performing ‘God Hates a Coward’ live. I became absolutely obsessed with this song in 2006 (which you can tell from my old Last.FM charts – 108 plays in a short space of time!) and I think I watched this video way too much as well. I just love how crazy it is, and it helped me through a really tough time in my life, as strange as that may seem!

Linda Strawberry (real name Linda Rowberry) is a keyboardist and singer based in Los Angeles, California. She is perhaps best known as the touring keyboardist in Billy Corgan band (although I did not realise this when I ‘discovered’ her while browsing Reverbnation!). She was initially signed to Chrysalis Records but she has since gone on to record as an independent artist and released her first EP, The Lost Record, under her own label (Lovely Chaos) at the end of 2007. According to a number of sources she has around 30 unreleased songs and her next project is due to focus purely on vocals and piano.
I fell in love with her extremely catchy song, ‘Magnolia’, and yesterday I bought her most recent EP, Lip Distortion. I love the harmonies on the record and she has a gorgeous voice, which blends well with the eclectic elements of alt rock and electronics – plus it’s great to sing-a-long to! You can stream the EP on her MySpace page, and you can purchase her music from all good online download stores.
Recommended Listening: ‘Magnolia’, ‘Scarletta’, ‘Mute’

Die So Fluid have announced that their new album, The World is too Big for One Lifetime, will finally be released on 23rd April 2010! Unfortunately they have also had to postpone some tour dates in Germany, but they thought it would be better to return with new songs and a new show rather than playing pretty much the same set from previous gigs. They are about to start rehearsing for tour dates in Germany and the rest of Europe, with the tour commencing some time in May.
Check out the teaser clip of their new single ‘Mercury’ from the upcoming album:

I’m a bit slow on the uptake, but I just noticed that Spinner UK had new track, ‘This Addiction’, by Alkaline Trio as their MP3 of the Day at the end of January. Thankfully you can still download the song from the website. Doesn’t sound too bad on first listen!
