So I’ve gotten numerous requests for “that song (not The Ting Tings’ “Great DJ”) that plays in the background of the Slumdog Millionaire trailer.” For those who don’t know, the song (which kicks in at about 1:10 in the trailer) is Sigur Ros‘ “Hoppipolla” from the album Takk. Mp3 below, along with a We Are… Continue reading “Slumdog Millionaire” Trailer Music: Sigur Ros

Cheetah Lady

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drI4BRMpaJM] That’s right, she wants a home where she can eat tacos and drink wine. Nothing like those things she already appears to have in those plastic bushes. Just keep in mind she took time to buy that outfit… Continue reading Cheetah Lady
12 Days of Christmas Music: Weird Collaborations
Day 5 of our Christmas music series goes to those bizarre collaborations that have happened this year.

After finally being released… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas Music: “Christmas on Mars”

Made in that sort of classic cutesy/creepy stop motion popularized in old Christmas movies, it takes us around the world of fairy tales and blows it to hell. I’m still not sure what… Continue reading New Bloc Party: “One Month Off”

The Lonely Island’s “Incredibad” LP
Our favorite “dudes” of Channel 101 and now Saturday Night Live fame, The Lonely Island, are set to FINALLY release a CD, Incredibad. If you’ve followed these guys from back when they made a bunch of music, your iTunes will already contain a band called “Incredibad,” but it looks unlikely that some of yours and… Continue reading The Lonely Island’s “Incredibad” LP
