"Frankenstein" by Willoughby

The adage “never judge a book by it’s cover” is very apparent with this one. And in this case it’s album artwork. Behold:

If I had just glanced that cover in the Amoeba new arrivals section, I would have passed it by. It looks like 60’s britpop! Who would guess that this sounds like Zero 7 […]

"Sensual Seduction" by Snoop Dogg

Wanna see what Snoop looks like as SNL’s The Ladies Man? Your wish is YouTube’s command:

I swear he stole that one high waist pant outfit straight off of Tim Meadows:

Yes, I’m being like every other blogger and posting this song… I have to, it’s been stuck in my head all day. Aside from the fact […]

"Revival" by Soulsavers

Did this catch anyone else’s ear during Grey’s Anatomy last week? When “the Nazi” started cutting open the Nazi, the sweet sounds of Mark Lanegan’s voice filled my living room. I knew I had heard this song before, turns out it was because of good ‘ol Jonesy. I’ve been downloading a few tracks here and […]

More Videoooooos…

This worked well the last time I did it, and I have a lot of videos I want to post. It helps ease my A.D.D. addled mind. So take it and like it my friends
“Pumpkin Soup” by Kate NashI don’t know what it is about this girl, but I really like her. Maybe […]

"The Ides" by Fryars

I found out about this guy in a post that also wrote up Cajun Dance Party, Cut Off Your Hands, and Vampire Weekend. Of course I’m gonna love this. I was hooked from the intro. The video is so 80s to me. There’s something a little bit off about this kid and I love it […]

"Still Fond" by Cut Off Your Hands

This is such a fun song! It’s a little bit hyperactive, but who cares! Maybe I’m subliminally posting all these crazy dance songs so I can dance off all my mashed potatoes that I’ll eat this week (seriously, I eat them for breakfast). Anyways, this is a New Zealand band that has been enjoying some […]

"Thanksgiving" by George Winston

I had a post all written up for today, but my iPod changed everything yesterday. On the 8 hour drive up to San Francisco, I placed my iPod on shuffle and was reminded of some great songs. This song was the greatest of them all. When I was growing up, my parents used to play […]

"What’s A Girl To Do" by Bat for Lashes

When I first heard this song, I thought it was so weird. I still think the talking verse thing is a little strange, but the song keeps getting stuck in my head! I was torn on BFL back in July, and I still am… but she sure does make some damn catchy songs.
I’m warning […]

Steve Aoki - Pillowface and His Airplane Chronicles

Remember how I talked about hipsters heads exploding yesterday? Well this album is going to make them spontaneously combust. Just as Girl Talk was a party in a box, this CD is sure to keep the drinks flowing all night. I’m very happy that DJ Steve Aoki didn’t decide to create his own cool songs […]

"Electric Feel" by MGMT/Kate Nash selections

On Thursday, I opened up my Rolling Stone daily email to see that they had released their yearly 10 Artists To Watch list. Usually, this article has a few good ones and a few duds. This year they raised the bar a little.
First off, I was instantly hooked when I read the profile of MGMT. […]
