Rooftop Films – read: wish i was in NYC next week

I’m a big fan of The Antlers and today I got an email about a gig they’re doing next Friday and got super excited.  Both events look money: cool bands open for indie films on a rooftop – and then I saw it was up in NYC… ugh.
Its been a while since I was last [...]

Put on the Playlist: Lykke Li – Tonight

from latest update via Lykki Li’s facebook page:

Put on the Playlist: Kings of Leon – Use Somebody (Video)

the kings of leon really made a well done music video with use somebody – the live show footage, the flying city shots, and backstage scenes = money. i’ve really been into their latest album which has other great songs like sex on fire and closer (and need to throw a link to the bucket [...]

Put on the Playlist: Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm (With Josh Groban)

the smashing pumpkins were my favorite band in high school – with me making my sister absolutely sick of siamese dream and melancolie and the infinite sadness on the drives to and from. when they opened the 9:30 back in the day i tried desperately to get tickets and failed only to have it [...]

The Australian electronic duo The Presets, Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes, is absolutely one of my favorite bands of 2008 – especially with the release of their album Apocalypso earlier this year.

Put On The Playlist: Lovin’s for Fools video

Bon Iver (aka Justin Vernon) cover’s the Sarah Siskind song Lovin’s for Fools all the time when he’s playing (there’s a bunch of videos of him doing it up on YouTube) – but in Nashville on August 11, 2008 she played it with him live.
The song by itself is amazing – both the original and [...]

Put on the Playlist: The Teenagers – Feeling Better video

A while back I wrote about how the Teenagers were asking for fans to submit some user-generated content for one of their music videos.  Well, they finally put it out this month (and shared some fan vids on their myspace blog too) – and its pretty fun and slightly ridiculous.
This is the type of [...]
