What Are You Listening To? This Week: AFI, Beastie Boys, Maroon 5, KT Tunstall and Blake Lewis What’s playing on AFI’s tour bus? We knew you wanted to know; click through the jump for Mike D., Adam Levine and more. Davey Havok “Nick Cave, Grinderman [the self titled debut from Cave’s newest side project]. I love Nick Cave. This record is fantastic. It really reminds me of Birthday Party. The reason I love it so much — and I was thinking about this last night when I recommended this album to a friend — is that Nick Cave doesn’t give up a fuck. He really, truly doesn’t. He’s doing what he wants because he loves it. That sentiment is overriding in Grinderman. It’s gritty, it’s raw, it’s dark, it’s bluesy. And he’s such a great storyteller.” Mike D “All the songs that M.I.A. has released, she’s put a bunch out there on the Internet prior to her album release. I like all of them, especially “Bird Flu.” I’m a big fan of that one.” KT Tunstall Cat Power, The Greatest. “I was so impressed. It’s so much more accessible than I expected. In a brilliant way. It’s a really fantastic episode that really grew on me. She’s got an absolutely inimitable voice.” Adam Levine “I was listening to the new Kings of Leon record yesterday, and I like it a lot. I didn’t know what it was, a friend of mine was playing it, and I was like, ‘That’s really great, what is that?’ ‘Kings of Leon,’ [Levine’s friend replied]. I said, ‘Okay, good. Download.’ They’ve got something really special happening.” Blake Lewis “I could name 10 bands right now that should be signed to a major label,” the singer said of the plethora of talented acts back home in Seattle. Lewis listed his current favorites: Mob Law, Doxology, and Common Market. “Hopefully, some people are going to come out to Seattle and take some good notes, because there’s a lot of talent. I’m very lucky and fortunate that I got to get on this show and I try and rep my homies as much as possible.R

Single Minded: New Tracks From ‘High School Musical 2,’ Junior Senior, Eisley, Davey Havok’s Blaqk Audio and Lori McKenna Cast of High School Musical 2, “What Time Is It?” [MySpaceTV] In spite of hard-learned lessons throughout the late Nineties, the answer to this question is apparently not “4:30.” Just give in and play this already. You know you’re wondering what it sounds like. Junior Senior, “Can I Get Get” [Junior Senior MySpace] Remember “Rapture”? Junior Senior are really, really hoping the answer to that question is “No.” Eisley, “Come Clean” [Eisley MySpace] Texas band turns the “Dust in the Wind” chord progression into a lithe and lovely late-summer ballad. C, G and A Minor send a letter of heartfelt thanks. Blaqk Audio, “Semiotic Love” [Blaqk Audio MySpace] Davey Havok from AFI fuses Hi-NRG and Darkwave, which should thrill the oft-neglected gym rat/ponyboy demographic. Lori McKenna, “Witness to Your Life” [Rhapsody] McKenna’s got a tough voice and a bottomless supply of big, winning hooks. Also, she said if High School Musical 2 sells more records than she does this week, she’s going to retire. Then she threw a TV.
