♫ Fan Death - Cannibal

It’s about James Murphy locking an old guy in a basement where he keeps his pickles while he creeps on Fan Death obsessively or something like that.

ps. watch Fan Death’s video for Fan Death’s Reunited. Oh and to his credit James Murphy is much better looking than that.

Beck and some homies - Heroin (The Velvet Underground Cover)

Oh and if you’ve never listened to The Velvet Underground & Nico, it’s one of the best albums of all time. Stop what you’re doing and listen to it.

Florescent Native American

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:17:00 -0400

I don’t really know why I didn’t like Neon Indian at first. I think I heard Should Have Taken Acid With You a long time ago and thought meh. Well after listening to it again a few days ago, I discovered how much I love them. I may or may not have downloaded the leak of their debut album, Psychic Chasms, (Okay, so I did) which I would say is amazing if I had listened to it (it is and I have 7+ times). They are the new MGMTAnimalPassionKlaxon CollectivePit. Seriously listen to the album now (or when it comes out for real on October 13th).

Amazing Baby

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:36:54 -0400

Amazing Baby - Headdress

Warning: Video is slightly NSFW. Amazing Baby is a great Indie Rock group with some Psychedelic Rock influences. The combination of strings with everything else make the album sound epic in some places. Anyway listen to these songs and if you like them, consider buying their debut album, Rewild.

♫ Amazing Baby - Bayonets

Just found this over at IHEARTCOMIX!, The Big Pink just came out with a video for their song Dominos. They’re a British Indie Rock band with some Post Punk and maybe some Shoegaze thrown in. If you like them then totally check out the awesome random photography they collected on their myspace and you can download Dominos from their site but since I’m nice I’ll put it up here too. Also check out their album when it comes out on September 14.

♫ The Big Pink - Dominos

Io Echo

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 19:29:33 -0400

You’d think that for a band who were featured in a commercial they’d be more popular but sadly this is not the case. You probably heard Io Echo’s song Doorway in that Palm Pre commercial. The song isn’t just notable for that, it’s great. Take a listen and if you like it give them some myspace love and buy a few of their tracks (Addicted is also a great song).

♫ Io Echo - Doorway

Owl City

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:03:12 -0400

I don’t know why I neglected Owl City for so long. They basically sound like The Postal Service + generic feel-good electropop band from 2005 which may or may not be a good thing. The vocals are actually so similar I had to check to make sure that this wasn’t a new DCFC side project. Anyways check this out, it’s decent and it will probably give you a boner if you like The Postal Service. Hopefully Owl City will further develop their sound into something more unique.

The Killer Is You

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:16:02 -0400

Just a quick post about a discovery I made a while ago. Mobile made a great cover of Smashing Pumpkin’s song, The Killer. It reminds me of something that would be on GTAIV’s Radio Broker. Anyways give this a listen, it’s Alt. Rock gold.

♫ Mobile - The Killer

Do the Bebop

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:52:58 -0400

While I was gone I watched all of Cowboy Bebop along with Elfin Lied and Neon Genesis Evangelion. All three were amazing but Cowboy Bebop had the best music due to the amazing soundtrack done by The Seatbelts and composed by Yoko Kanno. The soundtrack for the show is very diverse, every episode had a different musical theme or style. Tank!, the opening song for Cowboy Bebop has to be one of the best theme songs I’ve ever herd and has a great slick Jazzy style. Then Call Me, Call Me is a great Rock Ballad with amazing strings. I usually don’t even like Rock Ballads and vocals in that style but the song is just so epic that it makes up for it. Seriously though, listen to these and if you’re interested then check out the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks.
