John, that’s “Cougar” to you, Mellencamp is due out with his 23rd album on July the 15th. Title of record? Life, Death, Love and Freedom. Considering his last release was entitled Freedom Road and rode a brown water wave off the ham hock Chevy truck mega hit “Our Country,” I would have to say that Life, Death, Love and Freedom is one of the worst album names in the history of music. I don’t think Mellencamp is a bad guy; his intentions are good and he sings out against racism and the likes. But shouldn’t there be a limit to the amount of cheese on that burger, John?

Back on March 7th we tipped you off to a small taste of Death Cab’s newest single, and now you can hear the whole thing! Check out the music video below for their startling lengthy single “I Will Possess Your Heart.” It clocks in at about eight and a half minutes, but be patient. It pays off at about 4:41.
