of course, give me 6 minutes of Larry’s guitar tech tuning-up and I’ll still be happy.

Uriah hit the crapper

Yet more skating... this time in a new one from M83:
M83 - Kim & Jessie


Vampire Weekend get a wardrobe update... and that can only be a good thing:
New Video :: Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa by Vampire Weekend

Played this at a dance recently - only one person had heard of it. Huh, wha!?! A crying shame cause she’s a beaut…
Old Video :: Ma and Pa by Fishbone


Two new songs by those tinkly Swedes (new album to be released in September):
Song :: Om Du Moter Värg by Detektivbyrån
Song :: Neonland by Detektivbyrån

Don't Follow Me

I have somewhat been into Gnarls Barkley lately. Mainly because I believe that the musical half of the duo, Danger Mouse, is a quiet genius. The singer on the other hand (don’t know his name… Gnarls??) is a bit too soulful/ American Idoly for me to fully embrace this band. Some mighty fine stuff nonetheless:

Video :: Going On by Gnarles Barkley

Even a decapitated Zooey makes me smile

Song :: Why do you let me stay here by She and Him
Video :: Why do you let me stay here by She and Him


I have no idea what this is all about.

Oh my, the kid from Witness now has facial hair!

Brand Spanking New Video :: Cath by Death Cab for Cutie


Song :: Cath by Death Cab for Cutie

3 MC's and one DJ

Scary
Here’s a song I knew and loved in the 80’s. Until now, I had never known what Lene Lovich looked like. This is exactly how I pictured her - especially the way she contorts her gruesome face during all those “uh-oh, uh-oh’s”:
Video :: Lucky Number by Lene Lovich


Death by Cardigan
Here’s a song I knew and loathed in the 80’s. Until now, I had never known what MC Miker G and DJ Sven looked like. This is no way near how I had pictured them. Turns out they’re Dutch, mustacheod and all cardi’ied up - who’d a thunk it?
Video :: Holiday Rap by MC Miker G and DJ Sven'


Canadian Content
Here’s a song I used to be scared of. Down right tame these days. Yes, there was a time when the number of punk-rock go-go dancers equaled that of your band members… A fuckin' classic.
Video :: Hawaii by The Young Canadians


Swede n’ Shouty

The indie-snob in me tried unsuccessfully to not like the original, and now Love is All provide the perfect cover - unique enough to stand on its own while ever respectful of the songs roots. Or whatever...
Song :: So far way from me (Dire straits cover) by Love is all

Old Vid

Can't quite figure out why Danderous D never made it to the bigtime. This track sizzles... like bacon! The intro's priceless as well... "rap music combines rhythm and rhyme and song".


Crap Song/ Crap Video


That ain't your daddy's Charlie Chan!

Gag

Since I'm in a MASSIVE rut when it comes to new music... I offer up the recently voted on number one worst cover version ever just because its impossible to ever stop making fun of her. As with most things Celine, dare ya to get past the 28 second mark...
