The Sea and Cake Rock On New Album

The Sea and Cake are going in a more rock driven direction on their new record Car Alarm according to Billboard. 

Sam Prekop says the new album "does feel much more upbeat and as much in your face as the Sea & Cake can be."

They played live a lot and worked out ideas in the studio quickly, which helped make the evolution a smooth transition.

New Video: Amanda Palmer "Astronaut"

Having Ben Folds as your producer makes sense when you can rock it out on piano like Amanda Palmer can.

On "Astronaut" she brings it, goes down into a mellow valley, and then rises back into kick ass again.

Her new record "Who Killed Amanda Palmer" is due September 16th on Roadrunner.
