Stream New Rolling Stones, Kanye West, Death Cab, More...

At AOL Music...

  • The Rolling Stones - A Bigger Bang
  • Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
  • Kanye West - Late Registration
  • Bob Dylan - No Direction Home: Bootleg Series Vol. 7
  • Click around and you'll find streams to 21 other new CDs -- everyone from Crazy Frog to Opeth to George Winston.

    That Kanye CD is really hard to resist. Also, I was thinking that Ben Gibbard gets all the attention as Unlikely Indie Rock Heartthrob. Where's the love for Nick Harmer? He has silly bangs and goes to comic book conventions. I bet he's Seth Cohen's favorite.


    $1 to anyone who gets through the whole Stones CD.

    I just logged on to Rhapsody to listen to Late Registration and -- to my suprise -- only four of the 21 tracks are available for either streaming or burning. And four of the five are worthless skits. Nice job, Rhapsody and Universal Music Group. I'd rather not go to AOL to listen to the album (seeing as how I subscribe to Rhapsody) but if you're forcing me there I'll go.

    Nick Harner's bangs are forging new territory for the comb-over.

    Ha! I actually started listening to the Stones cd, and, go figure, could not make it all the way through. According to the ticker, I only got 27 minutes into it. Is that a record?

    I'm three songs though it, I think, I can't be sure really, is it supposed to sound like this? Whatever happened to trying? This is like copyright free rock music that comes on a cd with your free copy of Adobe Premiere.

    Ahh Rolling Stones make me lose my grammar. Wait I just go to some sort of funky track, it sounds like really bad solo John Lennon though, it's EXACTLY the same song as CleanUp Time this is lame.

    It's not Jesse James as Wolverine, it's that one boydbuilder guy from MTV's True Life "I want to have the perfect body" or something...

    Wow. I just got through 40 minutes of that Stones album, and not one song was memorable. That's really sad!

    wow. death cab still suck. it sounds like a 16 year old imagining he was older and writing from that point of view. I can't belive these guys didn't die when get up kids faded. i hope their plane crashes. wait.. scratch that. if that happened, they would attain a horrible myth status that would influence ton of brainwashed kids in the midwest to start shitty bands about bitching about romance as opposed to, y'know, dealing with it. maybe when i'm 45 i'll love this shit. when does the tribute album come out?

    i interviewed death cab when they were in the UK recently, and Nick was really friendly and chatty. Never mind being Seth Cohen's favourite. He should be everyone's!
