This is great you guys. The folks at 30 Rock are pretty much kings of the universe right now and got together like, a million celebrity musicians to do a song about giving kidneys in their season finale. I don’t get the context because I don’t watch 30 Rock. YET (starting at season one, baby!).… Continue reading 30 Rock gets famous musicians to sing about kidneys!

The Lonely Island do “I’m On A Boat” live on Jimmy Fallon
The dudes from The Lonely Island brought their cool kid/frat boy jam, “I’m On A Boat,” to Jimmy Fallon last night. Could this lead to some sort of tour in the future? Maybe! But that tour would go places like The DAR Constitution Hall and the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ (just the worst ever)… Continue reading The Lonely Island do “I’m On A Boat” live on Jimmy Fallon
Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
So there’s this relatively new R&B song by Jeremih called “Birthday Sex.” No guessing games here, you know exactly what it’s about. But unlike that last song about sex and holidays, “Birthday Sex” appears to be 100% serious. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: “‘Birthday Sex?’ how pedantic and inane! Let me sip my… Continue reading Why “Birthday Sex” is the best ever
Dirty Projectors/TV on the Radio announce tour dates
Well this couldn’t be any more the best. Dirty Projectors, who are about to release their new album, Bitte Orca, and TV on the Radio, who blew everybody away last year with Dear Science,, are touring TOGETHER! OMGWTFSOCOOL!!

The Woodlands: Even The Decemberists “dig” their music!
Portland husband and wife duo, The Woodlands, is adorable. That’s just fact. Any time love, acoustic guitars and indie music comes into play it’s going to be great (see: She & Him). Even better, they call the Pacific Northwest home! Anybody who’s been there can tell you it’s pretty much the cutest place ever (they… Continue reading The Woodlands: Even The Decemberists “dig” their music!
Back To Save The Universe reps College Park with From The Front Lines of the Good Fight
Here in College Park, a certain breed of bands tends to pop up. A breed best characterized as, how should I put this, “jammy.” Judgement reserved. But breaking that barrier is Back To Save The Universe. Like Barenaked Ladies with jazzier drumming. In fact, despite frontman Andrew Grossman’s cutesy lyrics and Mike Seiler’s melodic keys, the… Continue reading Back To Save The Universe reps College Park with From The Front Lines of the Good Fight
Built to Spill, Raveonettes, Frightened Rabbit in Siren Festival 2009 initial lineup
So I’ve been waiting for this for months (and here I am, posting it 6 days late). In my opinion the best small summer music festival, Sirenfest, is back with a date and an initial 2009 lineup. If you’re unfamiliar with the annual show, it’s a free, one-day festival at Coney Island, NY. Past shows… Continue reading Built to Spill, Raveonettes, Frightened Rabbit in Siren Festival 2009 initial lineup
Deer Tick announces HUGE summer tour
Seriously, so many tour dates. Unlike those lame stupid bands that organize like five-city tours, Deer Tick announced an epic 47 shows for their Born on Flag Day tour in support of their upcoming sophomore release Born on Flag Day. They’re pretty much covering the whole U.S./Canada spread like PROFESSIONALS. Who make people happy with… Continue reading Deer Tick announces HUGE summer tour
Of Montreal covers The Beatles… kind of
I don’t know how I missed this one, but it’s special. Just so special. Kevin Barnes was messing around on a piano backstage before a show at Brown University, and started playing The Beatles’ “A Day In The Life.” What ensued was a new song that’s pretty much totally not the same at all. Barnes… Continue reading Of Montreal covers The Beatles… kind of
Texts From Last Night is the new FMyLife
This is cool. In an idea clearly inspired by FMyLife, we have new embarrassment blog Texts From Last Night. The tagline is: “Remember that text you shouldn’t have sent last night? We do.” Although it’s not as inspired and original as FMyLife (what, our standards for trendy blogs are so high now?), it’s VERY much fun. What… Continue reading Texts From Last Night is the new FMyLife
