New Silversun Pickups video: “Panic Switch”
Silversun Pickups are getting all MTV lately. So much so, in fact, that they debuted the video for their newest single, “Panic Switch,” on MTVU.

That said, the video is pretty average/boring. “Then why… Continue reading New Silversun Pickups video: “Panic Switch”

New Lonely Island Video: “Like A Boss”
Looks like I missed this a couple days ago, but The Lonely Island premiered a video for Incredibad fave “Like A Boss” on SNL. It’s very much pretty good. I like it! To be fair, the song didn’t lend itself to a very creative video. You just get to actually see Andy do all the things… Continue reading New Lonely Island Video: “Like A Boss”
Justice remixes U2’s “Get On Your Boots” [MP3]

The Two Minute Miracles
“Men and Women From Ontario. We Play Music.” Such is the about section on MySpace for The Two Minute Miracles. And next to their profile reads, “Languishing in Obscurity.” Also, their website is completely incomprehensible (to me.) Even this photo is a blur. But you know what? Sometimes we don’t need huge long explanations about… Continue reading The Two Minute Miracles
Chris Price: from porn music to pop music
So D.C. musician/DJ Chris Price used to make music for porn. Or as his biography says, “adult entertainment.” Ok Chris, you can keep it classy, I’ma call it porn. From his bio: Recording under the pseudonym D’Crescendo, his original compositions quickly became a mainstay — oftentimes overshadowing even the actors and storylines of the films themselves.… Continue reading Chris Price: from porn music to pop music
