Hey everybody! I'm back in West Palm Beach, Florida for the day to catch the Projekt Revolution tour with Less Than Jake, The Used And Snoop Dogg. I think there's one or two other bands playing, but I forget their names. Anyways, I drove four hours for the show, so I'm hoping it's as awesome as I think it will be. On the way from Gainesville to West Palm Beach I was cranking the new CD from Head Automatica. It's the best CD that came out today by far. If you haven't heard of Head Automatica, it's a new band from Daryl Palumbo from GlassJAw (one of my favorite bands) and Dan The Automator from The Gorillaz...and the sound is a dancier combination of both bands plus a little bit of funk, punk and disco. Somehow it works. The new CD is called "Decadence" and it's incredible. Check out the media player to hear a few songs and a see the music video before heading out to your local CD store to pick up a copy. Trust me on this one: THIS CD SHREDS, BRAH!

Less Than Jake

Less Than Jake is playing on the Projekt Revolution tour right now. If you've never seen them live before, check out their new DVD "The People's History of Less Than Jake" to see what you've been missing. It features more live footage, random footage and videos than my mother's green bean casserole.

I'm really lazy this week and want to get to the Less Than Jake show, so I'm gonna make this quick. If your answer to the following question is an actual lyric from the song, you're entered to win. Easy, huh? This week's winner will get two CDs of their choice from the FBR Webstore. Send your entry to "weeklydish@fueledbyramen.com" with "Snoop Doggy Doggy Dogg" as the subject.

1 - What's your favorite lyric from the Academy Is... song "Season" on their purevolume site?

Yes, it's just an excuse to get you to listen to the song, but you need to hear it. Seriously. It's that good.
