Every Day of the Day

Jack Penate's uuuuuber pop wundersong, can't not dance to, can't not get loud enough, as you may recall...

Jack Peñate - Tonight's Today


He has a new album out ~ about a few Tuesday's ago by now ~ but, here's the new single.



From the album of the same name, Everything is New.

The Myspace for your further listening desires. And what's up, Jack? Why do we only get these new releases with videos of you and your straight face? Give us the bi-curious videos right off the bat I say.

River of the Day

I was feeling quite nostalgic whistling this little ditty whilst riding my bike today in Brooklyn. Although, the STD'd Gowanus doesn't quite compare to the moonlight on the Wabash...



This is an annual ritual at the Indy 500. Before the engines can start, Jim Nabors must sing.

Concert of the week, of the day

Phantogram to play the business at Glasslands on s.a.t.u.r... d.a.y. NIGHT!!




You should go to this. Glasslands can be a super-intimate venue. And if you can't on the Saturday, they will be back through NYC on September 11th for a show at Union Hall with Pomegranates; which will also be a toastable affair as that spot is truly a treat to boot.

See at least one, but don't miss them both.

Pretty Hippie Dippy I'd say...

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros.




They'll be riding their big, beautiful love bus through Brooklyn on August 30th.


Be sure to wear a flower in your hair.

Here's some pretty new music by Brazilian songstress Tiê.

I've heard there's some sort of 50 year celebration involved. If you believe in that sort of thing.
