Perhaps the above picture looks familiar to you?No? Please, allow me to jog your memory or simply inform you..The man above you is a one Wil Heuser. Still not ringing any bells? Alrighty, well hold on for the ride because it's about to get seriously strange and seriously funny in a few short paragraphs. In February of 2007 I wrote a rather sarcastic post about the artist who is a self-procl...

Today Kanye West (or whoever else updates his blog) featured a mash-up of his song "Touch The Sky" with Justice's remix of MGMT's "Electric Feel"-- mistakenly credited to Justice. The real mixmaster behind the track is Mighty Mi/Steve1der, so props to him/them cuz this is hot:[MP3] Kanye vs MGMT - Electric Touch (Mighty Mi/Steve1der Mix)Recap: Justice, MGMT, Kanye West, and Lupe Fiasco (feat. ...

Just a quick reminder that Department of Eagles' gorgeous debut* In Ear Park was released on iTunes today, including these two songs:[MP3] Department of Eagles - No One Does It Like You[MP3] Department of Eagles - In Ear ParkIn Ear Park is the brainchild of Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen, and includes contributions from other GB members Chris Taylor and Chris Bear. Oh yeah, and it fucking kills ...

The only ounce of satisfaction that Kaiser Chiefs have ever brought me was my ability to turn around a Yours Truly, Angry Mob promo on eBay for $10. Maybe it's boredom on a lazy Tuesday afternoon, but I decided to give the brits' new one a shot, Off With Their Heads. While most of it is bitter swill (as expected), there was one song that stuck out:[MP3] Kaiser Chiefs - Always Happens Like Tha...

Anyone who was watching Monday Night Football last night probably caught the premiere of the new video (mixed with clips of the film) for Alicia Keys/Jack White's "Another Way To Die". Many of you will realize that the video matches the slick corporate appeal of the song - it's not your typical, freely-creative White tune but for those that enjoy hearing White's guitar/voice any chance they g...

A bowed banjo doth a good song make.Back in November 2007 I mentioned The Antlers' free Cold War EP, raving "Silberman sings like a timid Jeff Buckley over a wall of droning and bending noises and vocal melodies that challenge even my most elevated opinion of In Rainbows." I just saw that press snippet on Antlers' website and thought "ok, what the hell was I talking about?? Oh, wait... right......

There are few words that can do justice in accurately describing a Xavier Rudd performance. I'd even go as far to say that no form of technology, be it visual or aural, can effectively capture such an event. Simply put, watching Xavier Rudd onstage is an experience that stimulates all of your senses. Recapturing the energy and atmosphere of Rudd's Saturday-night performance is as hard as cat...

I'm sure you've all heard by now that Paul Newman died from his struggle with cancer on Friday at the age of 83. There's a nice obituary here that somehow does the impossible, summing up a man so mysterious in his graceful acting, heartfelt in his philanthropy, and passionate in his political activism. The world will be much less humble without Paul Newman, in a time when honesty and good wil...

A couple weeks back we lamented how there wasn't more blogable swag from SoCal's arid rock duo Golden Animals. It must be my lucky day, because the awesome folks at Happy Parts Recordings sent us an email about the brand new video for Golden Animals' "The Steady Roller" (which we first praised back in June).The video, directed by Rylan Perry (who worked on The Rolling Stones' Salt Of The Earth...

Normally I wouldn't touch Ben Kweller's music with a ten foot pole. I've had a problem with him ever since he ruined a perfectly decent Death Cab concert back in 2004, and his (fading) likeness to snowboarder douchebag Shawn White hasn't helped either... but when he creates provides a song for the upcoming filmic adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke, I've gotta give it props:

MTV's Subterranean Blog premiered Annuals' new video for "Confessor," the first single off their upcoming album Such Fun. The animated vid was conceptualized by Annuals' own Zach Oden and illustrated by Daniel Auber, the guy behind loads of crazy animation work for Monty Python henchman Terry Gilliam).Here it is, in all its fairytale glory:[MP3] Annuals - Confessor Preorder Such Fun from Insou...

I was a little late jumping on ex-Sound Team singer Bill Baird's new project Sunset. Baird's buoyant psych-pop debut The Glowing City hasn't left my speakers all day, particularly the ebullient, twisted third track "The World Is Awaiting" which (nary a coincidence) reminds me of the closing track on Sound Team's debut Movie Monster, "Handful of Billions" ยป[MP3] Sunset - The World Is Awaiti..

"No company fails in communist China, because they're all partly owned by the government. I sincerely believe that Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke should resign. They have taken the free market out of the free market." -Sen. Jim Bunning (R-KY)Perhaps that should be our new flag? Don't get me wrong, we're still decorated with limitless liberties and freedoms but this $700 billion bailout thing ...

Amy MacDonald is a pasty Scottish singer/songwriter with colorful music. She's been playing in pubs since the age of 15 but only been around for about a year. Somehow she seems to have fallen behind the musical iron curtain that divides the States and Europe but that's about to change. Her debut, This Is The Life, has sold over 1 million copies across the continent of Europe and she seems d...

The eclectic, electric duo Woodhands we posted on last month has released a nifty new music video. The video for "I Wasn't Made For Fighting" plays havoc with the time-space continuum and combines sweet visual effects with digitally endorsed music. Their live sets make almost all who are watching breakout into dance, probably in a similar fashion to Woodhands' internet girlfriend in the offi...

Our friends at RAC had a song called "Hardcore" playing in last weekend's Entourage, in the scene where Ari makes Adam Davies his bitch.Speaking of Entourage, is anyone even watching this season? Lowest ratings by far... while the premiere didn't exactly knock 'em dead, I'm liking where it's going after three episodes. Any thoughts?
