New iPod Nano commercial: Miss Li’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La”
You’ve seen the new iPod Nano commercial that shows off its video capability and features another adorable unknown artist (where does Apple find them??). So now you’re wondering what the song is. I know I got a text requesting it yesterday evening. Everybody’s dying to know, you guys! It’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La” by Swedish indie pop singer… Continue reading New iPod Nano commercial: Miss Li’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La”
[MP3] Manet: “Cosmic Dancer (T-Rex cover)”
We got this mysterious synthed-out cover of T-Rex’s “Cosmic Dancer” by Manet in our inbox today. The e-mail contained no information about the song or band/artist. All it said was “Who is Manet? You’ll see….” This is the stuff of Nancy Drew. The track is off their Citiholic EP, (which I found out when I… Continue reading [MP3] Manet: “Cosmic Dancer (T-Rex cover)”
[Music Video] Clues: “You Have My Eyes Now”
This video for Clues’ track, “You Have My Eyes Now,” came out yesterday and received a ton of praise, because, well it’s awesome. It features an incredible Tim Heidecker, of Tim and Eric, who should just stick to making music videos. I think it might be what he does best… Clues, comprised of members of… Continue reading [Music Video] Clues: “You Have My Eyes Now”
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros announce tour dates
A lot of people give Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros an unfair rap. The 11-piece band drives around in a converted school bus and plays music like it’s 1969 all over again. It has all the cult-aspects of The Polyphonic Spree with a more folksy feel. Is that so wrong? I guess I can… Continue reading Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros announce tour dates
Muse’s The Resistance is a little bit too ridiculous
Hey, remember the good old days when Muse was being unkindly compared to Radiohead? A more rocking, less substance-y Radiohead? I sure do, and I enjoyed their output for the most part. The band is immensely talented, Matt Bellamy’s voice is a knockout, and they’ve produced some pretty great songs in their career. But their… Continue reading Muse’s The Resistance is a little bit too ridiculous
[Review] Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson make a flat, safe, off-white mush
Movie stars like making music, it’s just a fact of life. Remember Eddie Murphy’s “Party All The Time?” Or more recently Jamie Foxx’s surprisingly successful hip-hop career (thanks Kanye). In the world of indie/folk, we saw last years pairing of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel as She & Him. The duo created a lot of… Continue reading [Review] Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson make a flat, safe, off-white mush
[MP3] Sufjan Stevens: “Movement VI—Isorhythmic Night Dance with Interchanges”
New Sufjan? Could it be true? Yes, it could. And it is! It’s the first fresh material we’ve seen from the absurdly talented Detroit singer-songwriter since last year’s “You Are The Blood” for the Dark Was The Night compilation. Now Sufjan has recorded a cinematic suite inspired by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway titled The BQE. Yes,… Continue reading [MP3] Sufjan Stevens: “Movement VI—Isorhythmic Night Dance with Interchanges”

[Music Video] Sunset Rubdown: “Black Swan”
It’s a music video kind of day! And there’s not a thing wrong with that. Sometimes we just like expressing our thoughts and artistic ideas through a visual format rather than music. Unity and togetherness, everybody. This one is from 2009 heroes Sunset Rubdown doing “Black Swan” from their last album Dragonslayer. And the awesome… Continue reading [Music Video] Sunset Rubdown: “Black Swan”
