Scott: There's a reason the new Muse record, Absolution, has been on virtually every band's and critic's "what I'm listening to" list this year thus far; it's because this record is the best record of 2004 thus far, hands down. Many thanks to Kevin Wade for opening my eyes to this unbelievably talented English trio. It's so hard to pick a favorite song off the record, but here's definitely one of the better ones. There must be something in naming your song "Stockholm Syndrome" that guarantees it's going to destroy:
Muse - Stockholm Syndrome

Adam: Burnthe8track are a four piece from Winnipeg, Manitoba. The band recently released their debut full length The Ocean on Abacus Recordings, from which the track "Two Worlds Apart" comes. It's really energetic, dynamic punk rock, decidedly modern but not suffering from the usual weaknesses of the "new-school" class.
