I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be writing. My band takes off for Spring Break tour right after I give a speech on the futility of human effort. I was loading up my iPod for break and realized I needed some new tunes. Luckily, former Marvelous 3 frontman and (gulp) current Pink/Avril Lavigne hit-maker/producer, Butch Walker, has offered up his new double album, Leavin’ the Game on Luckie Street, for 5$ or nothing. Walker writes the best pop songs of our time, straight up. That’s all about Butch.

If you stop by Saul Williams’ (Trent Reznor junkie) website you can also pick up a cheap (or free) copy of his critically acclaimed (and Reznor produced) The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust. Sounds too much like NIN to you? It’s okay. Just let it happen. Happy Spring Break. See you in the cities.
