Art History

Here's a cute and clever video by french band, Hold Your Horses. Now I know i fell asleep during most of my art history lectures at school, but somehow most of these classic paintings managed to stay embedded in my brain.

Sink Yer Fangs Into This

A little free advertising (on the small scale of my little blog here) for my friends Fang Island! I went to school with some of these guys, and i finally downloaded their new album, which needless to say, rocks. I remember sitting in a friend's house back maybe around sophomore year when they first played me some of the songs they'd started recording for their (at the time, brand new) band, and from the get-go i thought the sound was awesome, so unique and full of spirit. its a crime i haven't gone to see them live since about 3 years ago!
Their song, Daisy was just featured in the commercial for a new MTV show called The Buried Life. Its great whether you need a boost at the gym or staring at your computer for an 8 hour work day. Give it a listen and then go download their album (name your own price)!

hooray!

I like playmobiles. And i'm wearing pirate-boots today.

chick singers

I've been listening to a lot of chick singers lately. its cute and soothing and pretty. My newest love, is Ingrid Michaelson. This song was on some JC Penny commercial a little while ago-but try to see past that. She also had a song on Grey's Anatomy which i have no problem with. All the songs on her Album "Girls and Boys" are great. i reccommend.

We just interviewed Grandmaster Flash for our Recording documentary. He's super cool

Hott in Herre

I find this video just a bag full of joy. I wanna eat it out of a cone with sprinkles on top. She makes the song sound actually adorable. I highly recommend looking into Jenny Owen Youngs' original music too. She's cute and twangy and heartfelt. I like it. I just downloaded her album Batten The Hatches which i enjoy the title of, because of that phrase's use in our house.
(awww i miss our doggies!)
Anyway. Good tunes. dig it.

cute video

My Happiness

The last two movies i've gone to see (not counting Bladerunner-although still and always awesome) were complete greatness. We all know that Juno was the delight of the year, and I need to own this movie immediately. But I saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly a few days ago, and while right after the movie, I was kinda like "eh" after listing to the soundtrack and then visualizing the scenes and story, I've decided to bump my "eh" to an "oooooo".

But anyway. These soundtracks are ri-motherfuckin-diculously awesome. Get your mitts on them stat! Juno will make you smile for days-chock full of Kimya Dawson, Cat Power, Belle and Sebastian and the like. Diving Bell is totally beautiful-Velvet Underground and my personal new fave song by Ultra Orange & Emmanuelle.

flashback funzzzz!
