WatchKanye West + Spike Jonez= We Were Once A Fairytale (Short Film)
Once again Kanye artistically depicts the demons within him. I hate to compare, but Kanye and Amy Winehouse both seem like they are on the same destructive path. Understanding that you have problems is only half of the solution, it’s what you do to change that matters the most. While I can’t say that great art...

WatchVolcano Choir- Island, Is (Video)
This is probably one of the simplest concepts that I’ve seen in a video in a long time, but it is so effective. Who doesn’t love blinking lights?

WatchKeelay & Cook Classics Jam Session
Ok, so part of the reason that I’m posting this video is because most of the people in it are friends of mine, but I’m also throwing it up because of how INSANELY DOPE it is. There is no denying the abilities of anyone in this jam session (not even the camera man Greg The Dude-What up G!), and I’m sure there will be some Googling of names...

Random racial stereotype that is upheld in music: White people manage their time better than black people.
Don’t believe me? Pick 5 random indie groups and keep count of how many recurring members there are. Ok, maybe it’s not THAT easy, but seriously think about how many times you’ve realized that one of your favorite indie bands has a member from one of your other favorite...

The lo-fi/dreamy Post
So I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels this way, but this summer felt like it was dominated by lo-fi/no-fi dreamy pop tunes. Well they were all over the blogs at least, and all up in my headphones. These are a few traks that I think are worth giving a listen. Oh yeah: and the picture has nothing to do with anything. It just looked like something that would fit this post.

WatchEels- The Look You Give That Guy
Let’s cut to the chase: I’m not posting this video because of how great it is, or because I love the song (which I happen to), I’m posting it because of my Top Chef crush Padma Lakshmi. She is the reason why most women find their man watching a cooking show on Bravo, and she is gorgeous. Is this what it would be like to have her as wifey? And...

Happy Birthday Mike
I know it’s way past midnight on the east coast, and just a couple of minutes past over here where the sun sets, but I don’t care- I’m going to write this post like it is still August 29.
Today would have been the King of Pop’s 51st birthday, and because Michael was such a big inspiration to me getting involved in the world of music I have decided to do like all of the...
