Late Night Viewing July 11 - July 15

Pretty slow week in late night TV and nothing on Friday so an early week. All three of these are great performances !

Panda Bear - You Can Count On Me  (Jimmy Fallon 7/11)


Gomez - Options (Letterman 7/13)


James Blake -  Whilhelm Scream (Fallon 7/14)

And Other Stuff #5

So before I die, I have three concert dreams:
1. Latitude in England with my whole family
2. SXSW with my wife and the Berciks
3. Primavera and Spain sightseeing with whoever will take me for free.

So this week we get some very cool footage from Spain thanks to Pitchfork attending the Primavera festival.
tUnE-yArDs in Spain
The tUnE-yArDs short song is just surreal with the church, traffic, and soccer crazies.

James Blake @ Primevera Concert in Spain
So I learned that this music is part of his degree for University...how cool.

Cults @ Primevera
Sightseeing and drinking


On top of all the concert and live music footage - Pitchfork also introduced a great new idea: 60 Seconds Left. Check out these bands to get an idea of what it is all about.
The Walkmen - remind me a wrestling a friend of highschool and then suddenly someone gets mad and it gets real.

Battles - funny band, funny cameraman.

Pains of Being Pure of Heart - an indie football fan.


So leave a comment on what your concert dreams are!

Saturday Morning Videos #1 2011

I miss when I was in middle/high school, before I could drive, staying up late watching Friday Night videos. I didn't have the luxury of cable TV and MTV till I was a Junior in high school so I had to rely on that show (along with visit to my best friends house) to get my fix of music cool once a week. I also really enjoyed Saturday morning cartoons when I was little, having recently seen an old episode of Super Friends I realize I'm not missing anything just being nostalgic. Most of those old cartoons sucked compared to what is on offer today. In an effort to bring the two together I offer you Saturday morning videos.

Sounding like a great album. NSFW because of some quick boob shots.

Trippy like one of those 3D posters

Your guess is as good as mine, I just like the music.

Little Scream - Red Hunting Jacket source Gorilla Vs Bear
Cool paper cut outs.

Cults - Abducted source Youtube
Following the song title we get a weird version of kidnapping? Creepy


YATCH - Summer Song source Pitchfork
On a lighter note - throwback to the 80's.

Come On Baby Cover Me #1 2011

There isn't much better then hearing a song reinvented. Sometimes its an unexpected pop tune turned cool or a classic track brought back to life. I have attempted to find some tracks that I think are great redos. Enjoy!!!
