Annie Lennox, of The Eurythmics, made a video promoting her show in Hong Kong. In rainbow pajamas. With Mickey Mouse ears. As some sort of fake newscast. Because that’s what crazy people do. Or people that don’t understand what crazy is and are easily talked into doing them. I’m SO hoping the latter. Bonus MP3!! … Continue reading Annie Lennox is officially crazy. Crazier??

The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
Funny stuff happens on facebook. You stalk people, you tell everyone who doesn’t care about what you’re doing, and sometimes you even find new music! While perusing (nothing more, I swear) the profile of a friend last week (thanks Lauren!) I found a comment on her wall from someone named Sarah Tracey, mentioning her first… Continue reading The Sizzling Sarah Tracey
Staples plays good music?
I just heard Greg Laswell‘s “How The Day Sounds” playing on the overhead at Staples. Huh? Is good music actually starting to proliferate across all industries these days?? I’m actually not so surprised in all honesty. Either way, good for Laswell; He plays accesible, warm piano pop with soothing vocals. Three Flights from Alto Nido… Continue reading Staples plays good music?

“MoCap, LLC” coming to Spike TV this week (Thursday night at Midnight!)
So we always promote other people’s stuff here. But this time, I’m self-indulging and promoting something that I myself (yes me!) have been working on here in NYC. “MoCap, LLC” is a half-hour comedy show created and written by my colleague and friend, Chris DeLuca, premiering Thursday, April 23 (this week) at midnight. I know,… Continue reading “MoCap, LLC” coming to Spike TV this week (Thursday night at Midnight!)
New Sonic Youth: “Sacred Trickster” [MP3]
Matador Records debuted Sonic Youth’s first single off their upcoming album, The Eternal, and it’s solid Youth. The name “Sacred Tricktser” sounds uncomfortably close to The Offspring’s “Original Prankster,” but it’s all good, I ain’t gonna blame the band! The Eternal is out June 8 (Europe) and June 9 (North America) on Matador. Sonic Youth —… Continue reading New Sonic Youth: “Sacred Trickster” [MP3]

Monday: Full Animal Collective remix of… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
