Former Test Icicles with New Album

Former member of the short-lived band Test Icicles released an impressive album last week. Devonte Hynes aka Lightspeed Champion brings to you Falling Off the Lavender Bridge. If I had to call it one thing, it would be folk, but there's a lot here. My first listen through I already liked it, but when I learned Lightspeed Champion was Hynes who was former Test Icicles I couldn't help but be more into it. For Screening Purposes Only was a fun album.

Hynes will be keeping busy over the next few months touring Europe with some short stints in the States. You can find him at two dates in March in New York.

I know you all enjoy free music, so while you're waiting for Falling Off the Lavender Bridge to come in the mail or whatever, you can find three free albums by Hynes. There is I Wrote and Recorder This in Less Than Five Hours, a complete album cover of Green Day's Nimrod, and more covers with the Bad Covers EP.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention. Take a look at our new People to See, Places to Go sidebar. We will be updating that often and will be much easier to track than our typical calendar posts. We will still be posting about new and upcoming shows of course, but that will be the place to go for reference.

Lip Gloss Still B Poppin'

I've been looking around for great covers this year and I came across this gem on YouTube. Shea Donoghue doing Lil' Mama's "Lip Gloss." This is definitely one of the better ones I've heard on YouTube, given the... interesting people on there. Take it in.
