We Are Doing Well

Just imagine how much better it will get soon! We won't need to waste letters for things like 'sober', we can just go sbr and I'm will sure as shit not have an apostrophe in it when we are done.

Music Dump Pt 2: Husky Rescue

So this is quite possibly my favorite new song in a few months. It feels so very mid 90's and it brings back waves of nostalgia for me. These consist mostly of Spice Girls posters and sneak masturbating to BSB videos. Ah, the life of a young homo.

On an unrelated note, I want this hedgehog outfit thing she works.

Music Dump Pt 1: Esben and the Witch

I know it's a few months old, but here's a delightfully bloody and bruised video for "Marching Song" from Esben and the Witch's debut album. You should grab it. It's good. Like 4th of July hot dog good.

Talented? Mayhap

I mean, yes, you can play three instruments rather well and simultaneously....but how bad did your math grades suffer?

I kid I kid. This is relatively bad ass.

This Amused Me....In A Sad Way

They seem delightfully serious about it most of the time. That makes it slightly uncomfortable. Like a boner in seventh grade math class at the board. That *never* happened to me. So I can't relate.

I CAN'T RELATE.

Boys In Shorts! New Mix for Q1 2011

 

The newest über gay collection of music I think you should all be listening to is now here! (cue the insanely giddy/indifferent crowd).

Complete with 90s inspired sleazy cover art, this is made 99% to shake your posterior to. Interspersed throughout are a few more low-key songs. Enjoy. Comment. Share.

Download it here.

Effing Brilliant: Music Note Art

This is a pretty bad-ass piece done by some skilled person taking a sheet of music and integrating their artwork into the structure of the notes.

I've totally done that before. I just didn't brag about it like they did.

Check out the awesomeness here.

Born This (or That) Way (or Another)

I, personally, am confused as to what kind of message she's sending out here. I feel it's republican propaganda. With pandas.

New Lykke Li!

Ms Lykke Li has posted a new single up for free on her official website. Here's a little visualizer-quality video to go with the track. You must go to the site and grab it! Otherwise Satan will play in your entrails. He told me.

Grab it here.

It Needed More Hairspray

Add some Loreal to that shit.

There. Now it's Americanized.

Enjoy the new US version of La Roux's "In For The Kill" video. Contemplate amongst yourselves why it needed to be redone.

Addictive: Tone Matrix

I seriously just spent far too long sitting there going, "damn I'm gonna be the next Lady Gaga, but without all that ugly". Check out the matrix here and play til your heart's content.

Hero: Violin Version of Super Mario Bros.

So this super Asian sits and plays the violin to video games. Sound effects and all. I wish I could play the violin. I wish I could also lounge about in a tux.

This is what I got so far:

"Do do do duh do do do....Do do do duh do do" ow, my lips hurt.

How To Stereotype Based On Music

Well, Flavorwire has posted this handy dandy guide to further teach us to point out generalizations of people based on some aspect of their life (being black, gay, Trekkies, etc). This time it's using your favorite indie bands.

It works...very well. Everyone said I was a girl...except for Patrick Wolf, then it just told me I was gay. Hooray accuracy.

Check it out here.

Thanks to the Emily, who judges everyone we know sans their music taste (judges them in the court of awesome) I should probably go to sleep.

Scissor Sisters New Single: Meh

Happy June!

So I meant to post this a couple of days ago, but....I didn't. So it's here now. I heard the streaming version of the song on their site and I couldn't make it through it, due to being thoroughly unimpressed. I held out hope for a super interesting video to accompany the track, but alas we are treated to them driving around in the streets of New York for a few minutes.

Maybe it will grow on me. Like melanoma.

Finally! Res Has A FREE Sophomore Album

There's a high chance you don't remember Res from early last decade. There's a higher chance that that makes you less cool than me. "How I Do" was one of my favorite albums in my last years of high school. Well, like 8-9 years later, she has released her follow up "Black.Girls.Rock." and best of all it's free.

Head over to www.the1res.com and download it as well as a fully designed digibooklet to go along with it. It will please me. Make it so.

Finally! Scissor Sisters Album Due June 28

The Scissor Sisters have finally gotten their act together and set a release date for their third album, now entitled "Night Work". They also released the cover for the album, which features an 80s man with a firm booty.

Life is good. Also, you can head to their official site and hear a sneak peak of one of the tracks (initial reaction is it isn't brilliant, but it could possibly grow).

In other news, that looks really uncomfy.

I'm Behind, But Jennifer Knapp....Congrats

Christian singer Jennifer Knapp has made the announcement this past week that she is a lesbian. Knapp rose to stardom in the Christian music scene with her debut album Kansas. When I was in high school, and trying to figure out how to go about living, I dipped into the Christian music scene. Knapp's gorgeous voice and obvious passion lent a sense of immediacy and connection that I had not felt with any other artist in the genre. I became an instant fan. As I grew up and realized that the Christian life was not only not for me but shunned me at every turn, I began to stop listening to the music associated with it. I never forgot how her music gave me chills at times, though.

I'm very happy for Jennifer in her decision to be honest with her fan base, regardless of the obvious threats it brings to her career in the CCM market. She, however, is going to be touring with Lilith Fair, so surely she will find many more people who can connect with her outside of the market she's in.

Best of luck Jennifer, I'm ecstatic you can be honest with yourself and the world and continue with your loving relationship.

OK...Taylor Swift Wins Album of the Year

Taylor Swift (seen here dropping it) has won the Grammy for Album of the Year. That's right. Just ponder that for a while. I mean I know Kanye was mean and everything, but if we gave every little girl someone was rude to a Grammy then I'd have like 4.

God May, In Fact, Love Us

Plastic McGilicuty Heidi Montag's new "album" has sold less than 1,000 copies in its first week according to Nielson Soundscan.

Even better news? She claims she's broke because she pumped so much money into it....and her new face.  Rejoice earthlings, she may go away.

It's Florence Time

Florence + The Machine - You've Got The Love

Florence and The Machine | MySpace Music Videos

So at least England is getting it right, Florence + The Machine's album has finally taken over the number one spot on their charts after 28 weeks in the top 40. Awesome sauce.

In other news, her videos keep getting less and less cool...but she's still neat.
