Damn, these have been rocking my iTunes for months now but laziness/selfishness has kept them from being wrapped and gifted for your ears. No time to talk. Get down to the rock.
The saga of Steve Buscemi and Vampire Weekend continues, and this time we get not one but two promo videos! The first finds Steve in the park with a friend, only to run into Claire Boucher, aka Grimes , and James Brooks, formerly of Elite Gymnastics . Watch as Steve gets denied when inviting her to Easter brunch. The second video is of that lovely Easter brunch, where Steve and the Vampires paint easter eggs and discover the spirit of Easter. Check them both out below, and if you haven't seen the [...]
The narrative behind Steve Buscemi and Vampire Weeknd's partnership for their upcoming American Express UNSTAGED webcast (4/28) becomes more robust with today's promo videos. Before the collaboration was officially announced, we all had a bit of a " huh? " moment when they all appeared together in NYC's Easter Day Parade. Connections start to be made in this clip featuring Grimes, who made waves this week when she posted what's being called an " epic feminist manifesto ." Here, you can watch her in an adorably awkward exchange with Buscemi about Easter plans. Check out their odd, but [...]
This time of year is always a challenge. Focusing on studying, sifting through old facebook pictures, studying, more sunflower seeds, studying, get coffee, rinse, lather, repeat as needed. While I can't sit here taking a break from Strategic Management to guarantee you an A with these songs, I can say with full honesty that they're the ten songs that are going to keep me focused and graduate on time from this godforsaken higher education that we all need now to not rely on flipping burgers. These are the songs that will keep me sane until Friday [...]

![[Listen] Elite Gymnastics: "私たちのもの ( O U R S )"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4837907_lg.jpg)
No es realmente una sorpresa que Elite Gymnastics haya decidido hacerle algo como esto a Grimes para su cumpleaños, debido a que ambos constantemente se están demostrando una empatía bastante entrañable en sus respectivas cuentas de Twitter, con lo que seguramente una colaboración entre ambos puede llegar a suceder en un futuro no tan lejano. Mientras tanto, la mente detrás de este proyecto, James Brooks, se dio a la tarea de coverear a Taylor Swift y a Justin Bieber dentro de este track que decidió bautizar como "私たちのもの ( O U R S )", el cual [...]
![Elite Gymnastics covers some pop hits for Grimes' birthday [Listen]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4837970_lg.jpg)
As birthday presents go, a song from Elite Gymnastics isn't a bad one as Claire Boucher, or Grimes to you and me, found out yesterday. To celebrate Grimes' adoration of mainstream pop, her friend James Brooks aka Elite Gymnastics has recorded a double whammy of pop covers. Taylor Swift's 'Ours' and Justin Bieber's 'Beauty and a Beat' are thrown into the mix, and made to sound surprisingly charming and human by James. Elite Gymnastics posted the track on his tumblr with this birthday message: [...]
You know you have a good friend when he flips your favorite music into something brand new for your birthday. Elite Gymnastics has crafted a lo-fi cover of Taylor Swift's "Ours" to celebrate his friend and fellow poptimist Claire Boucher, bka Grimes, turning 25 yesterday. It also features a little bit of Justin Bieber's Nicki Minaj-collab "Beauty And The Beat." Hopefully Grimes had a better time yesterday than wild child Bieber did earlier this month. Check out the cover below. Read More...

The Brother Bowl is the weekend in Nawlin’s. This year won’t be a “sexy” Super Bowl where you get to see a veteran QB like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Truth be told, I had my bags packed. I knew it would be next to impossible to get a SB ticket had the Donkeys made it to the big dance, but I was going to try to weasel my way to the Big Easy to bask in the glorious culinary hodgepodge and imbibe/observe “Napoleonic Code.” Aside from the defensive battle of the bulge, other items to look [...]
I done messed up. So I have How To Dress Well's soundcloud under my favorite on chrome, as I should, and somehow missed out on this one releasing 20 days ago. Don't ask me how. All I know is that Elite Gymnastics has created something beautiful to move to, so heading into the weekend, that's what I advise. Follow @OceanPdestrians
How To Dress Well - & It Was U ( Elite Gymnastics Remix) [ mp3 SoundCloud] You can't go wrong with an Elite Gymnastics remix, especially not if it was made from one of the best songs of the recent months.
One of my personal favorite songs of last year (not just because of the ampersand, &gang) received a proper remix treatment today. Elite Gymnastics put a little extra pep into the track and took the sultry number to the late night lounge. This had me hitting the replay button all day long at work and it definitely got me through the pains of Monday. I love the part when it slowwwwssssss down, though. Please don't sleep on How To Dress Well's album, Total Loss , any longer than you probably have already. And once you fall [...]
How To Dress Well's soundcloud account is chock full of remixes of tracks off his 2012 effort, Total Loss . "&It Was U," has already been reworked by Doss and Blackbird Blackbird, but now we've got new version done by Elite Gymnastics. The cheery and updated version stays true to the original on top of adding a lighter mood. Download: How To Dress Well - & It Was U (Elite Gymnastics Remix)
I love Elite Gymnastics , I love How to Dress Well's & it was u , I love this remix. Seriously, you should all hear it - 'happy but awkward cool' is the best I can do to summarise it. But it's literally the last minute of this that really gets me - everything's completely slowed down and I feel as though it should go on forever, that music should be on a constant loop in my head to soundtrack my whole life.

Grizzly Bear by Ben Molbey You can watch the members of Grizzly Bear loose small bits of their hair, blood nails, and skin for the sake of science/creativity in their new video for "Gun-Shy." Speaking about the video last fall "If the creativity of any living creature could be seen, what would it look like?" Kris Moyes asked New York . Each segment is gif-like, a small movement takes place over and over like a glitch, but sometimes an eyeballs iris bleeds, or a bit of hair flies off. Check it [...]
mp3: How To Dress Well - & It Was U (Elite Gymnastics Remix) "& It Was U" was one of our favorite songs of 2012 and remixes for the track have been plentiful. Here's a fresh take on it by Elite Gymnastics. Also, check out the official video for the original track below.
