I wish that The Bangles rocked this hard on their studio recordings. GodDAMN! http://www.myspace.com/video/contributor/bangles-hazy-shade-of-winter-live-on-snl/6675257

This one is probably the funniest thing ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEWIomU-K3w And... nobody mentioned Eddie Murphy yet? Gumby James Brown's Hot Tub Party Buckwheat Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood

Fucking genius

Just picked up Kids These Days - Traphouse Rock Hip-hop album produced by Tweedy and mixed by Mario C (Beastie Boys). Saw them opening for Raphael Saadiq last year and they impressed me enough to want to check this out. The fact that they are offering the new album as a free download from their website helped push me to get it quicker. Glad that I did. This is one of those few albums that just DEMANDS my attention; no passive listening here. Jazz/soul/hip-hop with all organic instruments. RIYL: The Roots, Massive Attack, Kanye West This one cribs a Pixies lead guitar line for the main piano

Kids These Days - Traphouse Rock Found it. Downloaded it. Listening now. First songs are excellent. And, one of the coolest album covers of the year. RIYL - The Roots

Speaking of albums produced by Jeff, anyone heard about that Chicago jazz/hip-hop band Kids These Days? Anything about when that album is gonna drop? Saw them opening for Raphael Saadiq a year or so ago and they were great.

(Streaming the complete album at YouTube.)

Mick looked like a fucking clown. But the band sounded good.

Might have to listen to this record today.

That is the final album from The Format—Nate Reuss' band before he started Fun. It's a lot less bombastic than Fun. is, and more "indie" sounding, I guess. It's also one perfect pop song after another and one of my very favorite albums of the first decade of the millennium. While this is my favorite song from the album, they are all pretty much this good and this hooky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76lO1-5D-9E Here is my selection for today:

Tell that to Winston Legthigh

For me, they all live in the mirror.
