I'm sure I've posted on them before (other than the one right before this), but here is some more of their amazingness! It's a new obsession with an old love....
i check out a hot chip cd from the library back in 2002. i thought 'geez this is the crappiest music ever, thumbs down.' i obviously was not advanced enough to understand the awesomeness. i am loving it right now. lets go dancing with cute nerdy boys! yay!!!
this has probably been posted before, but i heard this the other day and REALLY like it!

"We Float"
We wanted to find love We wanted success Until nothing was enough Until my middle name was excess And somehow I lost touch When you went out of sight When you got lost into the city Got lost into the night
I was in need of help Heading to black out 'Til someone told me run on in honey Before somebody blows your goddam' brains out You shop-lifted as a child I had a model's smile You carried all my hopes Until something broke inside
But now we float Take life as it comes
So will we die of shock? Die without a trial Die on Good Friday While holding each other tight This is kind of about you This is kind of about me We just kind of lost our way But we were looking to be free
One of the smallest dive bars is DSM, yet North of Grand totally rocked it for the cd release last Spring, it was cool!! It was where they played their first ever show. The sould quality isn't the greatest in this video, but they rule. Nerfherder/Green Day all the awesomeness influenced band, just yay!!
Ok...so this band from Ames have been doing very well in the music buis. I've been going to shows for years, they rock...anyways...this is from 2008's 80/35, and around 48 seconds or so...there's my freaken head with my stupid lil pig tails flailing about, and Kelly's next to me! lol...it's just amusing, and sometimes I think I shouldn't be allowed to do that, espeically when it pops up in pictures and you tube!! BUT it's fun, and I'll do it anyways!!
I really can't stop listening to them! I have took so much off there stuff of off Itunes! Just is beautiful and it gives me chills, makes me feel all...radical! I love them!! :)
They are so death cab cutieness, but I just heart them...they make me wanna pop bubblegum, smell flowers and sprinkle glitter everywhere while I float around on big puffy clouds!
So I'm not a big fan of this band....at all really, but I heard this song, loved it and found out who it was...dammit...
I heard this band awhile back and they are coming to an amazing venue near me on Sept. 16 with manchester orchestra and cage the elephant!!!! YAY for some seriously great music!
This made me cry, beautifully done, and the natural background noises are the best. Quite possibly the most honest/innocent video I've ever seen. enjoy!!
K so when I moved to DSM I began seeing this band quite a bit at Hairy Mary's! They were awesome, and used to pour glitter all over the drums, so when they hit, it would be all shimmery!! I miss them. The girl drummer, Laura, has since left and some dude now plays...it's not the same.
I have spent a lot of time rocking and loving this band! Some more reunion Tour anyone? Now all you want to do is go grab your Pixies albums, throw em in and rock out! I knew it! Have fun, I did!
so i finall downloaded their recent album. so awesome have been listening to some of the older work, even better. so i will most one of my favorite songs from their new album. hope you enjoy their work as much as i do!
omg i don't know what to do but if i was made of money i see the following people in the next 2 weeks.
tegan and sara-july 3 tori amos-july 10 cat power july 26 sonic youth-some time in july. i wish i could see all of them, i don't have anyone up here but jerei who would definately be at sonic youth, but tony wouldn't go to these. so sad i wish i wish i wish!!!
Are you ready for some really great 80's hair and high kickin' and tambourine shakin'!? Sure you are... I have a nice piece of video here for you, it's Stevie Nicks circa 1981. So sit back and let this witchy diva rock your socks off with her sassy single, Gold and Braid.
I've become somewhat into learning more about Indian rituals, and music! They are so spiritual and awesome. This song, I learned, that the chant promotes healing and cleansing. It's so beautiful! I want to travel to learn more and more about traditions, rituals of other people! It's so intriguing!! wow!!!
Hopefully that link works, check it out for yourself. In anticipation of the new Green Day album to hit May 15th...more and more keep getting released beforehand, I thought I'd spare the torment of posting yet another sad video of the band that once was, and post the interview with them instead, cuz I know you can't get enough, right HA!! WTF!! Are they brainwashed?? Did Billie Joe get his teeth fixed..nothing wrong with that, I would to if I could afford it. Anyways. If you look at the clips you can clearly see, the un-excited members, playing shit, and still calling it their best yet!! It's so not good at all!!! I played the songs the whole way through, barely, just for the sake of hope in my boys, and I was delivered with a sad feeling. I'm shattered. Will they come back? Is this the end? Even if they decided to call it quits I'd be happy with that, as long as they stopped recording shit!! I gotta say that there is a part where he states "the album, lyrically is looking for a deeper meaning" REALLY?? I think lyrics that looked for that was when he questioned if death had a life to call it's own in One of My lies!! Fuck their political angle, American Idiot delivered, this is sad. Let it go!! Or maybe I should!! It's almost like they have to watch what they say now, when on camera or some shit!! I'm still debating if I'll buy this album. A part of me just can't. Thank god for Tre in the end where he shows that humor is still allowed, as the camera drifts away from them ending the damn interview!! They're being fucked by fuck tards somewhere!
What's your opinion on this video?? Here's mine,,,,I miss random GD, what's up with the lame guitar stuff it's not very Billie Joe style anymore, the bass line so mellow, and the drums not very rockin, and enough with the mic pretending to sound like a megafone at times, they've done it...listen to the older stuff, probably some of the best music they've ever created, I could understand growing as musicians with time, but they don't got the spunk in it anymore or some shit. Understanding things change blah blah blah....sending good messages is sweet, having political views, who doesn't? I just can't grasp the new sound/image or anything. What the fuck happened and where are my boys???!!!! American idiot was surprisingly rad, about 2 albums before that they began to lose their sound. Maybe I just need to be more accepting or something, on the plus side, this songs catchy and hopefully the album has some sound true to the band there. It's like somewhere down the line they bottled it up, and signed a contract to become another band completely, fuck who brainwashed them into signing their awesomeness away to. I believe the album is called 21st century breakdown.....and I think it may have just caused me to breakdown.
Went to the Pabst the other night and these guys were here...their performance was probably one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen...The energy was intense, the music was beautiful.... These guys opened...I missed them. However, later at the safe house I watched her karaoke "Criminal" so I was no longer disappointed.
I know I have posted about these guys before, but man I just can't stop salivating over the tastiness of their tunage! Wolf Like ME Family Tree Love Dog Stork & Owl
Another tasty treat from Canada that met its demise in 2006. Even though they might not be making anymore delicious tunes....you can still dance to their beats coming to you....from them.... Love, love, love Memorize the city Sinking Hearts
It is very...VERY...rare that I will listen to actors that have decided to take their turn in the music industry. However, the other day I heard a fancy little diddy that made me tap me foot and bob my head. To my pure surprise and absolute delight it was Jason Schwartzman's Coconut Records. My my do I enjoy his music...take a listen Nighttiming Back To You West Coast
