Tomorrow night, John King's Louisville is for Lovers 73 series concludes for the summer with the incomparable Whistle Peak and The Gallery Singers. The 73 series has by far been one of the neatest events of the season - and you should know why. $10 ($8 advance) gets you to the rooftop, where you'll see Whistle Peak and The Gallery Singers perform and get a split 73 record with tunes by both bands as you exit. Try to find a better way to spend $10 on a Friday night (actually don't, cause you can't). [...]

It's a bit hard to imagine the baby-faced Justin Bieber smiling back at us with a set of gold-capped choppers, isn't it? But it seems the fashionable snake charmer is further emulating his hip hop idols by investing in a grill (and no, we aren't talking about the George Foreman variety). The Biebs may still be just a teenager, but after a fender-bender in his Ferrari, the little punk is spending the rest of his allowance (or, okay, massive earnings from his multimillion-dollar empire) on a pricey mouthpiece by celebrity jeweler Ben Baller (pictured [...]
Gucci Mane = web traffic "I rape you like Chester" - Rodrick from The Return of Mr. Zone 6 , out March 22

Let me tell you quite the yarn. Back in my formative years my brother and I rivaled the Jerky Boys for quality of prank phone calls. No one was safe. One of our more infamous calls involved calling a friend of mine who worked in a funeral home (and had previously gone to culinary school), and requesting that I wanted a gold grill for my recently deceased Rottweiler. Not to mention I wanted him to cook the insides so my wife and I could absorb the animals chi. Apparently that's not that weird of a [...]

June has proven to be an extremely fruitful month for finding new artists here at The Blue Walrus. Among the many demos that have landed on my desk, a few have stood out as pioneers of the music of our 2009 British summertime. Here's a quick introduction to my three favourites... Gold Teeth can only be described as naughty-good fun. I first saw them supporting Athlete at the Norwich Waterfront a couple of weeks ago, and was thoroughly impressed by their down-to-earth and audience-involving antics. The music is energetic [...]

NEW MUSIC: Gold Teeth - Everybody words: Jamie Milton top photo: Pickered Balloon Hailing from Morden, Good Shoes' much-adored home town, Gold Teeth maintain the likeability factor of infectious pop music with 'Everybody'. With the sort of casual, cheerful guitars that make Vampire Weekend and even the aforementioned Good Shoes stand out, the stylish, samba-inspired pop hooks will stay in your head for the remainder of the day. mp3 : Gold Teeth - Everybody [ alt ] [...]

Gold Teeth comes out of the UK. This song has a breezy, almost island music vibe to it. I say "almost" because of the distorted guitars and British accents. With a name like Gold Teeth, how could you lose? Saw it at I Guess I'm Floating . Gold Teeth - Everybody PigeonsandPlanes
I don't usually jump on the NME wagon because what they offer for the most part is shmaltzy Oasis wannabes or bands that have dumbed down the Arcade Fire aesthetic for mass consumption. They wouldn't know a good band if Brian Epstein came back from the grave to introduce them to his latest fab four. Gold Teeth is a band they've covered recently, however, that doesn't seem to be copping anyone's style or pretending to be something they aren't. They're just having some fun making simple songs that are damn near impossible [...]

I'm afraid I didn't have much time to put together this week's mixtape. I've been thoroughly immersed in The Decemeberists' The Hazards of Love . It was so worth all the anticipation and wait. I know others haven't exactly given it rave reviews, but I'm lovin' it. I did manage to pull together a few tracks for this week though, including new Gomez that I heard on Grey's tonight (I know, I'm like the last person in America still watching that show). Also new Felice Bros, Death Cab, and one from Sugar's Bob Mould. [...]
"These words come out so differently." There's nothing worse than not having a song you love at your beckoned call. Such is the case with Gold Teeth 's new single "Everybody". Having to jump online every time I wanted to hear the track, a process repeated over months and months, was far too cumbersome. Thanks Puregroove , now I can sleep easy at night. The self described "Tropical/Afro-Beat/Electronic a" sound from the young group of suburban Londoners (Wimbeldon) is probably going [...]

Perfect indie pop. This is what the Guardian says about this song: "Everybody has some of the currently popular tropical/Afrobeat flavours, with an electronic pulse, a lilting rhythm and Highlife guitar, but what makes it stand out is the lyric, which is self-pitying and stark where the music is anthemic and joyous: "Everybody wants to see that you don't even look at me/No, you don't even love me," complains the singer, turning the plaint into something strangely affirmative via an endlessly repeated "everybody is everybody" refrain, which will go down well as a chant in Ibiza or Ilford." mp3 below!

So what's the deal with vanity glasses? Seriously. If you don't need a prescription for eyeglasses, you kind of don't have business wearing them. People argue that wearing regular eyeglasses when you don't need a prescription is worse than wearing sunglasses at night, but I don't know if I agree with all that. You know what's pretty annoying too? People who can't take their sunglasses off indoors. It's just like when people let their ass cracks and nipples slip-you know that there's an awareness of it on their parts-and they just don't care. The whole sunglasses indoors thing, I think [...]

Gold teeth have been a fashion accessory for some time. I recall them in the hip-hop community as far back as the early Eighties, but I don't know when they first appeared. More recently has been the appearance of grillz , a more elaborate dental appliance. I believe they were popularized by Dirty South rappers. Last year, "Grillz" was released as a single from Nelly's album Sweatsuit . The song also featured Paul Wall, Ali and Gipp. The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Wall [...]
