OK Go, F*** Yeah!

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, for those of you who haven’t seen it.
Every time they come out with a new video, I wonder how they’re going to top the old one.  Same feeling with this one.

The Break

Violent Oils?  Midnight Femmes?  No, it’s the Break.

What do those who are fans of the Oils and/or the Femmes think? 
Me, I wish I lived in Australia this February.

Effects of the Flood

The Flood produced the newest showing from the Editors.  It’s a lot more electronic, and it’s taken me a couple of listenings, but Editors still know how to write and craft great music.
Here are some of my favorites from In This Light & on This Evening.

Extracurricular Music Thursday

It’s not Thursday, but I’ve been meaning to post this for about a month.
I heard the following interview and performance with Patrick Watson and the Wooden Arms on NPR in early December.  It was a fantastic piece, but for some reason I thought it would totally be up Ned’s Alley.  Not that I’m all that [...]

Yup, he would be ecstatic that if there was one thing carried over from my high school education, that I could recall Elvis Presley’s birthday with minimal prompting would be it. So I [...]

I’ve been listening to this song by Imogen Heap like crazy for the past couple of weeks.  I thought I’d share.  On the deluxe version of the album, I [...]

One Day

So this guy has been gaining popularity for a while. When I first heard about a Hassid Jewish rapper, I thought “What next”. But the truth is, this song is pretty catchy.
One Day – Matisyahu.

Music in the Second Monday

Thought I’d share a few tracks from the Fleet Foxes album that came out recently.  J.E. came to my mind when I saw the Bruegel image used on the cover.  Speaking of J.E., hope your busy season goes well, sir!
