Hey LCD Soundsystem fans! Go watch this video of Kermit doing LCD Soundsystem's "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" (one of my favorites) all around NYC. But make sure you stick around until the end, because it takes an unforeseen turn…. Kermit does LCD Soundsystem

Looks like such a downer of a band, right? WRONG. Turns out that some of the members of the now unfortunately defunct band Kite Flying Society have started up Gray Ghosts as a way to continue being awesome in an increasingly non-awesome world. MP3: Gray Ghost - Like a Pistol I didn't notice it my first [...]

Man, that organ hits at the exact right moment, doesn't it? Great editing on this newest trailer for David Fincher/Brad Pitt's new film the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I've got high hopes for this one, as I've been following it for some time. Here's hoping it's as great as all the talent involved would [...]

Hope I don't step on any ideological toes here, but I thought this was fantastic. Half the joy comes from the funny lyrics, half from the heartwarming message and half from the insane amount of celebrities that star in it — that's right 150% of the regular amount of joy! Help me out and name everyone [...]

OK, so one of you didn't so much like that Noah and the Whale cover of the Smiths I posted. I'll admit, it's not their best work. But I think this might make up for it a bit. Noah and the Whale do a great job with Daniel Johnston's "Devil Town," which they covered for [...]

Aaron and Bryce Dessner of the National curated this amazing new compilation to benefit Red Hot, an organization to prevent AIDs. The compilation has everyone from the Arcade Fire and Decemberists to Kevin Drew and Grizzly Bear. I've heard the Feist Grizzly Bear team-up (it's awesome!) and can't wait to hear the rest. It'll [...]

Daniel Martin Moore with Ben Sollee If you tune in to WOXY right now, Kentuckian/Sub Pop artist Daniel Martin Moore is playing some holiday songs over the air waves. He's set to start any second now, so go ahead and tune in any time after 1pm to catch him. Fingers crossed for an acoustic cover of [...]

The other day on Facebook something popped up in my news feed where one of my friends asked another for music suggestions. Someone else chimed in that Surf City were pretty good, so I decided to be a busybody and check out part of this conversation I had business reading. Pretty good result, for a [...]

Justin from Fishboy pointed me towards Pezzettino's cute pop music. It's strangely non-traditional and familiar at the same time. And though this photo and song don't showcase it, she spends a lot of songs with an accordion — it's like someone gave the Arcade Fire's Regine her own solo project when she was a [...]

Just a heads-up in case any of you, like me, didn't know that Juliana Hatfield was going to be playing the Dame this Sunday. Doors are at 8pm and tickets are $12. Strangely just today I asked my boss at the record store if Juliana Hatfield had been in any old bands that I should [...]

Not even a day after I said how happy I was that I hadn't heard any new Bishop Allen songs before the release of their third full-length… I find one. Granted, I'm not exactly upset to be hearing a new Bishop Allen song (I'm thrilled), but I'm sure this youtube video isn't the ideal way [...]

Is that the weirdest headline I've ever written for YANP? Probably. However, it's all true. When MGMT played "Kids" on "Le Grand Journal de Canal" (french for "tv show where people play songs"), they brought with them girls dressed as indians, a painter, a Segway, a puppy and a massage table. Oh and they sang [...]

It's December, which means we can all reasonably listen to Christmas music without worry. Luckily Muzzle of Bees has posted a full 2001 recording of My Morning Jacket at Louisville's WFPK, where they play plenty of Christmas tunes and originals. Download My Morning Jacket's 2001 Christmas Special at Muzzle of Bees And if Christmas tunes aren't your [...]

Thanks to a friendly tip from Bishop Allen lead singer Justin Rice, I can safely tell you that Bishop Allen's third LP Grrr… will be out March 10 on Dead Oceans. MP3: Bishop Allen - Click Click Click (from The Broken String) As of yet no recordings of new songs have surfaced, so it looks like [...]

As I said, I really enjoyed Andrew English's set as The Englishmen opening for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. I can't remember what song that he played there really sounded amazing, but it's kind of a moot point anyway as I only have two of his songs. Oh well, we'll have to settle for "very good" until [...]

Head over to the Laundro Matinee to check out videos of Elf Power playing "A Tired Army" and a combo of "New Mythology" and "Paralyzed." Seeing them this summer gave me even more respect for them — which is a tough thing to do. Actually, I guess I saw them three times this year (Lexington, [...]

Jeffrey Lewis (a Rough Trade artist) did a history of Rough Trade Records through song and visual art. I knew next to nil about Rough Trade's back story, so it's both entertaining and informative for me.

Oh man. I'm just a week into finding out about the new Bicycles record Oh No, It's Love and I've already posted on it a few times. It's well deserved, though. The album (this song even more so) is fantastic. If you're a fan of indie pop, it's a must-grab. The video's fantastic too. The [...]

Thanks to Poptarts Suck Toasted for pointing me toward this cover. Jens has always done the best covers and this is no exception. MP3 Jens Lekman - Water Runs Dry (Boyz II Men Cover) Lekman put on one of my favorite shows of 2008. However, I haven't heard too much about what he's been up to since [...]

I don't often get to my emails. However, I Come to Shanghai sold me on checking out this tune with the inclusion of one phrase: "Deerhoof, for example, is pretty much our favorite modern rock band." That's a pretty good way to get my attention. Downside is, now that it's been used, I'll be less [...]
