New Chemical Brothers – Escape Velocity

I imagine spaceships and lasers throughout. By the end of the song, I was ready to shout “OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS!”

My Day Has Come: New Releases For The Week of 8/11-8/15

Maddon NFL 09 Cover

With the number of quality music and games releases increasing as we inch towards the fourth quarter, we here at My Day Will Come will be starting a new weekly feature entitled “My Day Has Come,” where we’ll spotlight the most noteworthy releases of the week.

This week sees a couple of great downloadable games along with the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

Madden NFL 09 (PS2/PS3/Xbox/Xbox 360/DS/PSP/Wii) – 8/12/08 – The latest edition of EA’s golden goose promises to be the best edition in years.   A really cool feature of the 360/PS3 versions is the ability to save a highlight from a game and immediately upload it to the web youtube-style.  Get the Wii version if you’re planning on playing a lot of local multiplayer, otherwise go 360/PS3 if you want a deeper single player or online experience.

Strong Bad’s Game For Cool Attractive People (Wii/PC) – 8/11/08 – Strong Bad and the Homestar Runner cast star in their first point and click adventure game.  It’s the first episode of five monthly releases.  Definitely check this one out if you’re a Homestar and/or adventure game fan.  Read our review from yesterday for more detail.

Bionic Commando Rearmed (Xbox 360/PS3/PC) – 8/13/08 (360) and 8/14/08 (PS3/PC) – I loved the original Bionic Commando on the NES back in the early 90’s.  Capcom reimagines Bionic Command for modern game platforms.  The game is a 2d platformer/shooter combo with the unique twist in that you can’t jump.  You can only use your bionic grapple arm to navigate.  An early review from IGN’s Hilary Goldstein calls it “the best downloadable game to date on XBLA and PSN.”  Strong words from the dude who gave Braid an 8.8 rating.

New Jay-Z Single (Now With More Oasis Dissing)

A few days ago, Stereogum posted this video of Jay-Z and Kanye debuting a new track from Jigga’s upcoming new album, Blueprint 3. It’s rumored that it’ll be produced (mostly) by Kanye West.  Now, it appears as if the internets have leaked the full studio track for the Oasis-slamming track, “Jockin’.”

I gotta admit, the mocking way he sings the perfectly chosen Wonderwall line really gets those Gallagher brothers right between their taints.

Your move, smarmy Brits.

Download The New Nine Inch Nails Single For Free

nine inch nails discipline single new cover art

No, that’s not a black and white version of Coldplay’s X&Y cover up there, it’s the cover to the latest Nine Inch Nails single, Discipline.  This ain’t no BS instrumental either,  we get to hear Trent Reznor’s soothing vocals layered over a 122 bpm bed.  It’s a vintage Nine Inch Nails song, fans casual and hardcore alike should be into it.

If you look within the ID3 tag of the single, there’s a cryptic note that says:

Go to www.nin.com May 5

Hmmmm, maybe more free tracks? An album release date?

You can get your own copy of discipline here.  All it takes is your email and you get a pristinely encoded VBR MP3.  Trent takes care of his fans.

New Death Cab For Cutie Single – “I Will Possess Your Heart”

death cab for cutie i will possess your heart cover
I got an email from my friend Chris this morning letting me know that the new Death Cab For Cutie single has hit the airwaves (literally and virtually).

Entitled “I Will Possess Your Heart,” the track clocks in at a whopping 8:35. Those expecting to hear another “Soul Meets Body” may want to temper those expectations as this song is less poppy than previous DCFC tunes. Be prepared for a very long intro. (over 4 minutes!)

Nevertheless, when Ben Gibbard’s soothing voice enters the fray, you can’t help but feel all is right in the world again.
