And if you like what you hear you should probably purchase music from the above artists at any of these fine online retailers (or your local independent record store):

Insound | Amazon MP3 | eMusic | Other Music

Also, If you want to download all (or most of) the tracks in this post, you should probably think about installing the DownThemAll! or FlashGot Firefox extensions.

If you were lucky, you caught Atlanta’s own Carnivores and their blend of postpunk and psychpop at Shea Stadium this weekend (I was unfortunately not so lucky). And maybe you may remember them from the Shark? q and also a? Well, they have a new album If I’m Ancient, which is due out October 12 via the Double Phantom label. Here is the first track they have ok’ed for posting. Listen.

This q and also a features the answers of blogger turned rocker Kevin Diamond the singer/guitarist/keyboardist of Shark?.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: A Crime (mp3) by Carnivores. We just played with them and Dinosaur Feathers at Cake Shop last night and they blew me away. A Crime is their catchiest tune, though Organ Trail is probably my favorite so far. I just got it this morning and I’ve listened to the album three times today

q: What is your favorite food?

a: Anything Mexican. Anything involving Cheese and Beef and Beans and Tortillas. And hot sauce. And no napkins.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: ugh. I dunno. Really tough question. Gang of Four kind of killed it, smashing a microwave with a wooden bat. Actually, Liars put on a really great show at the Pool Parties a couple years ago. Also, there’s a bunch of local bands I really love seeing live: Sundelles, I’m Turning Into.

Listen:
Second Life (Version 2) (mp3) by Gang of Four
Plaster Casts Of Everything (mp3) by Liars
Your Favorite Thing (mp3) by The Sundelles
Chin (mp3) by I’m Turning Into

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: I really enjoyed playing Silent Barn.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: Brian Eno.

Listen: Baby’s On Fire (mp3)

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: We’re recording our first album. It’s the first time Shark? songs have been recorded as a band as opposed to just my fucking around on my own.

Here are a few Shark? songs.

Listen:
Fear! (mp3)
I’m An Animal (mp3)
I’ve Got Friends (mp3)

But know what? you should totally just download their EPs for free @ Bandcamp.
