The Grammys are back, you guys! While I usually wait until the awards are over to write a snarky commentary, I’ve decided to give it to you straight, as the action happens. Some Hype Hype Hooray-regulars might note that I don’t have cable, but this year I found a liiiittle loophole (my girlfriend has to… Continue reading Knox Road Live Blogs the Grammys (With a One-Hour Delay)!

New iPhone 3GS commercial: The Boy Least Likely To’s “Stringing Up Conkers”
The iProducts pulled a fast one on us this time. For their latest commercial, “On Hold”, they’ve incorporated the typical cutesy pop music we’re used to from Apple ads…but something’s amiss. There are no vocals!! Instead we hear a hand clapping, acoustic, bells-y background courtesy of The Boy Least Likely To‘s song “Stringing Up Conkers”… Continue reading New iPhone 3GS commercial: The Boy Least Likely To’s “Stringing Up Conkers”

LOST Babies!
I’m assuming there’s a whole legion of about four people out there who still watch LOST, and have stuck with it through five seasons. I’m one of them, so for the three people out there who care, this one’s for you! So basically it’s LOST Babies, and while it’s mostly what you would expect from… Continue reading LOST Babies!
Yo Gabba Gabba! to release album

And this is why I respect the hell out of Muse
Hey, I may not have liked The Resistance, and that might make me a terrible person, but whatever dude. I still have always respected and even liked (gasp!) Muse, especially earlier in the band’s tenure. Apparently, the band was told to play to a backing track for a recent performance on Italian TV. Well, Muse… Continue reading And this is why I respect the hell out of Muse
New iPod Nano commercial: Miss Li’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La”
You’ve seen the new iPod Nano commercial that shows off its video capability and features another adorable unknown artist (where does Apple find them??). So now you’re wondering what the song is.

It’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La” by Swedish indie pop singer… Continue reading New iPod Nano commercial: Miss Li’s “Bourgeois Shangri-La”
Phenomenal Video Saturday (on Monday): iLiKETRAiNS, again
Yeah, so I’m late by a couple days. You mean to tell me you’ve never been late for anything? No? Well, okay, sorry for jumping to conclusions like that. It won’t happen again.

Anyway, this video will continue my obsessive love for everything iLiKETRAiNS, who – surprise! – are… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday (on Monday): iLiKETRAiNS, again
Dirty Projectors news OMGZ
In the next step of our elaborate ploy to turn Knox Road into a Dirty Projectors fan site, here’s a video of the band playing “Cannibal Resource” on Letterman. Was anyone else mentally prepared for Dave Longstreth to suddenly grow devil horns while he was singing? Even I was creeped out, and I’m a Satanist!… Continue reading Dirty Projectors news OMGZ
