Video of the Day

The Love Language. I saw this band at The Bell House in Brooklyn on Friday night. Here is a vid of their soundcheck that night ~ shot by my buddy Stuart ~ song, Lalita. Some say that this is the best pop song in the world right now. Soooo have a listen and decide for yourself.

The frontman Stu McLamb recorded their debut, eponymous album all by hisself at his parents house in North Carolina. Then he needed a band to tour with so he gathered an eight piece and hit the road. Starting at SXSW last month, this was the last leg of the tour. The highlights: 1) great stage presence, they had two keyboardists bookending the stage. 2) it very well may be the best pop song in the world. 3) the drummer was wild like a Muppet. You know the one.

worst name ever. not worst music.

Seriously? This is pretty rididculous. I will attempt to uncover some storyline or illuminating history of name origin. It better be good...

It also reminds me of my old friend here. HeeBeeGeeBee.

All episodes are recommended.

How Frightly

This is a band that I thoroughly enjoy. Their last album ~ Fort Nightly ~ is one of those that you can just push play. There isn't a bad track on it. New album ~ It's Frightening ~ is due out May 19th and the tour starts in NY on May 21st. Do yourself a favor and see them live if they are in a town near you.

White Rabbits: new track, Percussion Gun

Is it too late for a new album title, though? It's frighteningly close to this Scottish troupe:

Frightened Rabbits. People will be confused.
