"The Plot" by White Rabbits

I think I’m falling in love with this band. Even though they only sold 400 albums their first week, they are going to be big I was getting super exicted for their live show in a couple weeks and stumbled upon this live video of “The Plot”. Even more excited now…

They do have a […]

"Saturday Waits" by Loney, Dear

I was supposed to go to this show last night. Sadly, I did not. I’m bummed and don’t want to talk about it.
So instead, let’s focus on how awesome this video is! Dogs as people? Very nice. Why didn’t anyone think of using those dog costumes before? I love the dog at the bar […]

"Fake Empire" by The National

Big buzz band right now that I wasn’t aware of during their previous albums. Seems to be the case a lot. I suck at old stuff. Granted this isn’t even that old. Whatever, I know them now I usually don’t like the deep baritone voice like this. It can often be overdone, overbearing and […]

"Paris Is Burning" by St. Vincent

I found this video last week but didn’t get a chance to post it. This is Chris’ friend who he used to play in a metal band with (weird, right?). I wrote about her in here before, but hadn’t seen her live yet. We saw her a few weeks ago and she was phenomenal. Her […]

"About Your Dress" by The Maccabees

This is the band opening for The Noisettes next friday. I didn’t know who they were, but listened to the album since I’ll be seeing them, and really liked it! It has a Bloc Party quality to it… probably b/c they’re British as well.

haha And the band’s version:

Nice.
I also like this song “First Love”:

"Scratch Your Name" by The Noisettes

LOVE this song right now. Please listen to it super loud for full effect. I keep finding myself playing this song every morning. And why not? The lyrics are great: “scratch your name into the fabric of this world before you go.” As for the music, I’m mostly in love with that huge riff at […]

"Listening Man" by The Bees

This video is so cute! Nice song as well. Stumbled upon it and I’m glad I did.
This band is from the UK. I have both of their previous albums and they’re great. I think this new one, Octopus, is generating a little bit more buzz than the past 2. I know this video […]

"Throw It On Me" by Timbaland feat. The Hives

Thought I’d post this:

I don’t know how I feel about Timbaland. I mean, I like him as a producer… And put him with Magoo and he’s golden… But the jury is still out on the solo thing. I do like The Hives though. They look great in this video. And help take away from the […]

"Office Boy" by Bonde Do Role

Man, this show is going to be craaaaazy. This is one of the bands opening for CSS at The Fonda on June 10th. While there aren’t as many hipsters freaking out about BDR as there are over CSS, they’re still getting some press. Especially with this track. And this video:

Brazil… so hot right now…
Bonde Do […]

"The Next Untouchable" by Cajun Dance Party

Look left, you see Cajun Dance Party. Look right, same band. Up, down, all around, it’s like a frickin Dr. Seuss book with these guys. I don’t know if it’s an indication of how big they’re going to be, but the buzz meter is sure going crazy on these Brits. Good thing the song is […]
