Kim Bodnia Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This morning I was listening to "When I was young" which is available as a download from Nada Surf's website. The album is called The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy, and appears January 24. The first half of the song is an accoustic, quiet ballad, but in its second half it quickly turns into a powerful rocker reminiscent of the band's grungey days. The song is also streaming on NPR.org.

a-me-with-a-you Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Despite the steady quality decline since Let Go, they're still one of the top power pop bands out there and I'll be spinning this as soon as I get my paws on it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I thought The Weight is a Gift was a great record. Didn't care for Lucky as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
