Exposure: 10/7 – 10/10

The government may still be shut down, but Exposure’s still going! No need to reboot, lets keep on going!   Mellow Monday – 10/7 Holy Ghost – Okay Hiatus Kaiyote – Nakamarra Cayucas – High School Lover Midlake – Antiphon The Head and the Heart – Shake Twice Young – Oceans Still Corners – Fireflies Okkervil River – Stay Young Man Man – Head On Classixx – Hanging Gardens Hot Chip – Flutes   Time Travel Tuesday – 10/8 Before they released their 3rd album, Melophobia, Cage the Elephant did something I think all bands should do at some point. They took time off from each other and all wrote tracks individually, before reuniting and going through all of the songs to pick out the best. Such a simple act, and yet so effective. Just listen to the album to see what I mean. Nine Inch Nails, the artist/group/Reznor responsible for popularizing Industrial music, is back again with a new (phenomenal) album and are (thank the Industrial gods) touring again. Each song’s corresponding album is in parentheses.   Cage the Elephant – Come a Little Closer (Melophobia) Cage the Elephant – In One Ear (Cage the Elephant) Cage the Elephant – Back Against the Wall (Cage the Elephant) Cage the Elephant – Free Love (Cage the Elephant) Cage the Elephant – Around My Head (Thank You, Happy Birthday) Cage the Elephant – Spiderhead (Melophobia) Cage the Elephant – Hypocrite (Melophobia) Nine Inch Nails – Copy of A (Hesitation Marks) Nine Inch Nails – Head Like a Hole (Pretty Hate Machine) Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs (The Downward Spiral) Nine Inch Nails – We’re in This Together (The Fragile) Nine Inch Nails – Only (With Teeth) Nine Inch Nails – Survivalism (Year Zero) Nine Inch Nails – Everything (Hesitation Marks)   Wacky Wednesday – 10/9 Moderat – Bad Kingdom Austra – Painful Like Flume – Sleepless White Lies – There Goes Our Love Again Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Let the Day Begin Chvrches – The Mother We Share Queens of the Stone Age – I Sat By the Ocean White Denim – Pretty Green Bass Drum of Death – Shattered Me The Wombats – Your Body is a Weapon Arctic Monkeys – R U Mine?
