Despite our friend Derek's (formerly of Good Weather For Airstrikes) appeals for our support of Cambridge, MA's Passion Pit (he breathlessly described them as "the best new band of the last whatever and the authors of the best album of 2009"), I wasn't too wowed by the Chunk of Change EP, with the notable exception of PP's breakout single "Sleepyhead."Everyone has and will continue to compare P...

A couple months back, Scott and Amrit ventured out to catch Passion Pit at Pianos. Since then, the Boston Frenchkiss signees have continued popping up here/there. The consensus (at least around here, like in my kitchen) is that their best song is "Sleepyhead." It's also the lead track from their re-released Chunk Of Change EP, so makes sense that it'd be the track with a video. We're told the f...

Listen at Bitone's myspace . The song is part of an album to benefit the Bitone Children's Home , and the whole record was recorded with a laptop and one microphone in the center's living room. Awesome. All of t...

Passion Pit - "Cuddle Fuddle". Sometimes I think of hearts like gas-lamps. I don't understand how gas-lamps work, so bear with me. Anyway, you got a big container of ether & spirits & fumes, and then you got all these tubes and valves to manage the stuff. And if a valve blows out, well - uh, yikes. Suddenly there's glowing fiery gas just going everywhere, shooting you in different directions li...
