New Music Friday

Friday, November 5th, 2010

I’ll continue to post this when I remember, but Katie made sure that I knew music isn’t really this blogs deal, so I should keep up with my non-music related posts and leave the tunes to my buddies over at mediocremusicblog.com. (Catch my ‘full’ review of the Phoenix/2DCC concert over there or at this link.)

Anyway, few good new tunes to spotlight this week, so here we are, with some new music, along with plenty of new, entertaining, non music related posts behind this one! Hopefully these tunes help you get weird this weekend, enjoy.

California Wives – Blood Red Youth



Cee Lo Green – Bright Lights Bigger City



Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain (Fred Falke Radio Mix)

Could end up being popular here, but I’m thinking it won’t, we’ll see. Big across the pond of course, but if it does catch on here you can say you knew about it “so long ago! lolz!”



Gypsy & The Cat – Piper’s Song

Originally heard the remix (posted after this song) which is awesome, but I actually dig the original version as well.



Gypsy & The Cat – Piper’s Song (Aeroplane Remix)



The Knocks – Dancing with the DJ

Few other tunes by these guys are solid, I would look them up if I were you.

TGIF, am I right? AM I RIGHT??  Okay, well whatever, here are some new tunes that you probably won’t hear at my party this weekend, unless Joe or I get really saucy on the ones and twos Saturday night.

Parry Gripp – Baby Monkey (Going Backwards on a Pig)

Simply put: Musical genius.

Christopher Cross – Ride Like the Wind

Does anyone know why the “budda bah bah, bah bahhh” (shut up don’t know how to translate that into words) in the chorus sounds so familiar? Is it from this song or another one? Driving me out of my mind why I can’t place this. And oh yeah, the song rules.

Redman and Method Man – Blow Your Mind (live in Paris)

90′s music shout out! This is a clip from a friend of a friend’s ski video edit, $20 for whoever can send me the full length version of this song, from this live set, I have the studio version which isn’t as “mind blowing” <-- see what I did there?? Anyway, the beat is one the best I've heard, not to mention this edit is sick.

Side note: who’s stoked to hit the slopes? If you are fb friends with me, you’ve probably noticed I’m mildly interested in the start of the season.

New Music Friday: Two Door Cinema Club & Phoenix

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Disclaimer: None of these songs are new, at all. However, both these bands are headed to Agannis Monday, and if you don’t have tickets you should get some because its going to rule.

The opening act is a group call Two Door Cinema Club, and though most people in the ‘States don’t know them, they are pretty solid. Definitely one of the best opening acts anyone attending this show will see.

Undercover Martyn

Something Good Can Work

And then there is Phoenix, if you don’t know them you should promptly close your browser window and please never return to my website. Haven’t seen them in person but everyone that has said their shows are awesome, and I’m sure this one in such a small venue won’t disappoint.

1901

If I Ever Feel Better (this is one of their old school songs, Katie will probably cry if they don’t play it)

It’s finally nice out again, but in case anyone is wondering what being in London is like, its like this week has been, all the time.  Gross.  Kind of glad I had that reminder last week since I was getting sad about not moving there when I had the chance.  Also everything is 3x more expensive.  Great to visit, but living/working there is rough.  Anyway, if the sun hasn’t done it already, on to some tunes that will certainly cheer you up and hey, its the weekend! Get rowdy! Take off your pants and party!  Er, uh, actually, well whatever, I’ll stick with that.  Enjoy!

The Silver Seas – What’s the Drawback

Thanks to Kurt for this one (<-shout out!). I would like to classify this one as “funky chill” but Kurt has a more apt comparison; Steely Dan. Agreed.

The Wombats – Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)

Cali Swag District- Teach me How To Dougie

Yeah this song is everywhere, but not with a PANDA doing it. Thanks to Katie for the instructional video from the zoo.

Bed Intruder Song – Itunes Version

Well I posted this a while ago, but just because its awesome, here it is again.

The Double Rainbow Song

Not sure how long this version of the Double Rainbow video has been out, I might be behind the times, but I just found this, and I’m into it.

Hi. Here is some new music:

Keane – Stop for a Minute
Thanks to Andy for providing me with this one, easily my favorite song of the moment. Video is a little weird first time watching it, but for some reason the second time I threw it on I liked it a lot more. The song however, is awesome right from the first go.

Hoodie Allen – January Jones

More white people rapping! Huzzah!

The Wombats – Tokyo (Grum Remix)
The regular song is pretty good but I like the beat of this one better, make sure to skip ahead from the straight fist pumping start, the rest isn’t nearly as head pounding.

Bill Withers – Lovely Day

A little old school chill out funky time.

Due to getting in at 1am tonight, heading out at 7am for the Hampton’s and Biggie’s wedding tomorrow, then London right after that, this post will only contain one, very new, very awesome, song. Courtesy of Wonn, thanks for keeping me hip.

OK Go – White Knuckles
This is a pretty good song by OK Go, but the video has tons of dogs in it, so it rules. Enjoy.

New Music Thurs..er Friday

I will actually probably post this on Friday, but I’m stuck in an airport right now.. ironically (I think?) not because of hurricane Earl II (<-- the second?) but because of a "mechanical issue" which is making me miss my connecting flight (<--favorite thing evar!) (<-- next to parens right now). Anyway, here it is, the newest hottest beats y'all have been looking for. Play them at your hurricane parties this weekend.

iTunes Version of the Bed Intruder Song
Okay, not really new, but definitely awesome. Thanks to Cantu for this link. Hide yo’ daughtas! Hide yo’ wives! Errbody gettin’ raped up in here!


Miami Horror – Holidays
Hello funky disco. Man I couldn’t be happier that disco/funk is making a pseudo-resurgence in the form of these type of songs. If you can listen to this and not be in a good mood / want to dance / drink / party / have an awesome time then you are a soulless individual who probably hates puppies and happiness.


Bruno Mars ft. Cee Lo Green & B.o.B. – Otherside
All star cast produces a song you’d expect from the three of them working together.

Alright so New Music Friday has sometimes not been on Friday, and more often than not contained songs that aren’t exactly new. I’m writing this on a Thursday, I will probably publish it today as well, making it again, not Friday. BUT I do promise that the majority, or at least one, of these songs are actually pretty new. Enjoy the weekend, rock out, come hang out on the island we have booked for the weekend, whatever floats your proverbial boat.

The Limousines – Internet Killed The Video Star
Zombie themed movie thing is a little weird, but the song itself is pretty solid.


Justice – DANCE
Okay, yeah, this is really not new at all, in fact it is quite old, possibly years old. But I felt like putting it in here cause I heard it the other day and its funky. Deal. Plus the video is entertaining and far less strange as compared to the zombie one.


Shy Child – Disconnected


Shiny Toy Guns – Burning for You (Cover)


Kristoff Kane – Work
He has a bunch of solid tunes, look him up.
