Artist: Pretenders
 Song: 'Boots of Chinese Plastic'
Album: 'Break Up the Concrete'
Why You Should Listen: Many changes have taken place in the band's line-up in the past 30 years, but frontwoman Chrissie Hynde holds steady with her signature vibrato on the band's first song from their forthcoming album, 'Break Up the Concrete.'

Years after his departure from the Moldy Peaches, Adam Green has hit his stride. The New York singer-songwritter has evolved into a smooth blues singer backed by a Memphis-influenced ensemble, complete with backup singers and former Moldy Peaches bassist Steven Mertans. Armed with wacky lyrics and killer dance moves, Green lays down four new tunes from his latest, 'Sixes and Sevens.'

Green also came through by delivering a signature outlandish interview where he speaks about his helicopter ride to the studio and his gambling problem. He also shares about his fishing and playing Parcheesi in his downtime. Watch Adam Green work his magic on the Interface. ]]> 1249624adam greenAdamGreen Mike Spinella 2008-07-18T10:00:00 00:00 Barcelona, 'It's About Time' - Free MP3 of the Day http://www.spinner.com/2008/07/18/barcelona-its-about-time-free-mp3-of-the-day/ http://www.spinner.com/2008/07/18/barcelona-its-about-time-free-mp3-of-the-day/ http://www.spinner.com/2008/07/18/barcelona-its-about-time-free-mp3-of-the-day/#comments Filed under: ,

Why You Should Listen: Indie rock's unofficial poet laureate is releasing his first solo album in 13 years, finally free from the creative constraints of ... having a band name? (True, Bright Eyes have a rotating lineup of musicians, but given that the albums have always been an Oberst affair, we're as confused as you are.)

Clever lyrics, loud rock 'n' roll riffs and more hooks than the outskirts of Times Square in the '80s -- the Hold Steady are back. This week, the Brooklynites by way of Minneapolis will unveil their fourth album, called 'Stay Positive,' which evokes the feel of DIY hardcore of yesterday. "I think the record in general is about the struggle to age gracefully, which in rock 'n' roll is an especially tricky business," singer Craig Finn tells Spinner.

The group dubbed "the world's greatest bar band" proves that as its members head into their late '30s, they've still got their chops as they drop five tunes from 'Stay Positive,' feeling that it's their best work to date. Watch the Hold Steady do what they do best as well as talk about their favorite baseball films and lyrics. ]]> 1764099the hold steadyTheHoldSteady Mike Spinella 2008-07-11T10:00:00 00:00 L.A.
