I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Versus

More Summer

Happy Summer! (and Father's Day!)

Happy Summer! Today being the first day of Summer (and Dad's Day) I made a Summertime JamFest Awesome Funtime Playlist.

Enjoy.

Do the Mash

Beastie Boys + Matt & Kim = YES!

LISTEN! Also, click click click to listen to another mash this one by Radioface. Sufjan Stevens and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Just you wait.

Sexcellent cover of 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' (bang bang shoot shoot) by Kim Deal's (Pixies' bassist) band The Breeders. Love her, love them.

Knowledge is Power!

Just reminiscing. Clearly this is why I was always a Sesame Street kinda gal during my younger years.

Fer Yer Consideration

The Nacho Libre Soundtrack is surprisingly good, considering the movie is so silly. It features three tracks from Beck, as well as contributions from Danny Elfman... who does the soundtrack to every movie ever made. Listen to some selected snippets, but I suggest exploring the entire soundtrack. It's really cohesive, fun, and has a lot of sexy Latin flare. I feel like saying 'Latin' isn't PC. Best of intentions.

Yes!

Just heard 'Two Weeks' by Grizzly Bear off their newest album Veckitamest played on the radio by this guy:

He then proceeded to play like 18 live recordings of Eric Clapton.
Life is good.

Get it?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs remind me of the South Park Goth Kids

For Your Consideration

"Boogie Boarder is a three piece band from Saratoga Springs, New York who make lo-fi, noisey, surf pop"

Remix of Rick Ross' jam by Snakes Say Hisss! Check 'em out, blast them at your next partay.

Unless you're so progressive you don't even play music at your parties. Dang.

(P.S.- The claymation hamburger footage is courtesy of the 80's gem 'Better Off Dead' starring a young, dapper John Cusack. If you've never seen this movie, do so immediately)

Borrowing Music

Ch-check out these love connections.
It's no secret that artists sample from other artists work.
See for yourself:

'The Girl Can't Help It' - The Animals

'Clumsy' - Fergie


'Every Little Thing She Does is Magic' - The Police


'Come on Petunia'- The Blow (click click click)


I couldn't find a video for 'Come on Petunia' so check out more from The Blow (click click click). Really fun, really cute. Really.

That's a fun top...

Malin Ackerman (of Watchmen and 27 Dresses fame) at the MTV Movie Awards.


I have this theory, that if you cut off all her hair she'd look like a British man...

You Might Have Heard

Check out these fly indie bands who currently have songs featured in commercials:

The Dodo's 'Fools' off of their album Visiter featured in this Miller Chill commercial

Also, Matt & Kim's 'Daylight' off of their newest album Grand featured in this Bacardi Mojito commercial.

I saw Matt & Kim open for Cut Copy at House of Blues in Boston. I thought they were really cool, energetic, and genuinely having fun. However, I've heard many a person say they aren't impressed by the Brooklyn duo.

I think they're rad.

Also, everyone is hot and heavy for Cut Copy. Honestly, I don't get it. I found their brand of electronic indie pop generic and their songs sounded disappointingly similar.
