I've been a casual Metric fan over the years. But this video they have to tease the new album has me very excited. It's so beautiful… with Emily Haines talking about her headspace going into the making of this album while walking around Buenos Aires. I don't know, just makes me feel like they're headed in [...]
I can’t remember if I’ve posted this already, but there’s now a video. And what a good video it is. One of my favorites this year I think. Really really cool. There seems to be a bright future for Mr. Cudi after this one.Kid Cudi - Day N Nite (mp3)
You guys have heard me complain about Kanye's stealing ways before. The man just loves to rip people off. So of course I was no surprised, but not happy when I saw his new video nabbing Chairlift's style. Remember this video I posted the other day? Well, now watch this one: KANYE WEST "Welcome To Heartbreak" [...]
This one is just a song I've been enjoying for a while and haven't had a chance to post. This band recently signed to Kanine Records… the same label as Chairlift and Grizzly Bear. They're playing SXSW and I'm guessing that they'll be one of the ones who come out shining. Drink Up Buttercup - Mr. [...]
I’ve been in love with this band for a while, but they are now at obsession level. This CD has been a permanent fixture in my car’s CD player and when I start typing a MySpace address, theirs is the first one in the drop down history list since I visit it the most. Now [...]
Something about this video is super soothing to me. Which is odd because it takes place in a busy city. Maybe it’s the calm among the chaos that gets me. Ok, I’m getting too deep for a Friday. Enjoy the weekend all.
Today feels like Friday to me for some reason. And Fri-thurs-day calls for a dance party. This should do the trick…Although it creeps me out a little bit because their heads remind me of the colonel from KFC.Right??? Ah well, the song is good so it will just distract me. DANCE PARTY!Casiokids - Fot i [...]
Prepare to add this song to your list of… OBSESSIONS! Oh man, I crack myself up. Anyhow, this group is getting a bit of buzz, and if this song is any indication, the album should be phenomenal. Marina And The Diamonds - Obsessions (mp3)
The story with these guys is they went to an ivy league together then instead of becoming rocket scientists, they found themselves in the middle of a bidding war. Between Kanye, Jay-Z, and Pharrell is the word on the street. Well, Pharrell won out. And now we have the video for their first single.Chester French [...]
8:03 - Is Bono wearing Rocket Dog shoes? I'm confused. Not loving their new song either. Sorry to start the night off hating, but I'm not the biggest U2 fan…
I am so happy. This is the song that I love most by the foxes that are fleet. It's not even on the album and it's the next single! Rock. Stars. Here's the video: Mykonos from Grandchildren on Vimeo. AND… a making of video! Mykonos making of from Grandchildren on Vimeo. Fleet Foxes album: Sun Giant EP (includes "Mykonos"):
Did you guys catch Dan Black's cover "HYPNTZ"… Yep, that's a Biggie cover. And a good one if you ask me. Well, he is now working on his debut album and we've been given the first single:
Lisa Hannigan's debut album Sea Sew came out yesterday on ATO Records! And we now have a video for this beautiful song. It's super captivating. I felt like a 6 year old while watching it. Because it's a pop up book! Such a cute idea… Lisa Hannigan - Lille from ATO Records on Vimeo.
I saw Local Natives play at Silverlake Lounge last night and they were really great live. I suggest you catch them sometime this month during their residency before they blow up. They had a ton of energy on stage and even reminded me of what I bet Arcade Fire was like when they were coming [...]
I've been into a lot of hip-hop lately which you may have gathered from my posts. But the kind of rappers who would like to use a Santogold song as their beat and they're not only talking about money, hoes, and guns. Maybe there's a new movement coming up? The Knux, Drake, Kid Cudi, Cool [...]
I like this video. Skeleton costumes and fake snow? Yep. Friendly Fires 'Skeleton Boy' by Clemens Habicht from Nexus Productions on Vimeo. Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy (mp3)
Do you guys know Asobi Seksu? If not, you should get into them on their sophomore album. I had my brother write about them a couple years ago when he saw them play in Seattle. Sadly, I still haven't been able to check them out live. But I've seen their name on the SXSW bands [...]
This video impresses me so much, it comes close to touching The Bird & The Bee. The song is not too shabby either… very Nick Drake-esque.Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance (mp3)
Can I break from the song a day format for a second? There’s some breaking news people. Ok, maybe it’s not news, but it did get me really excited. Passion Pit is basically the shit. They searched local elementary schools to find a children’s choir to sing on their first full length album that they’re [...]
