</embed> Vampire Weekend has had their songs in commercials before, but now it seems like their hit song "Campus" was used to serve as 'exciting background music' for the trailer to The Lorax , which I believe is one of those Dr. Seuss books that is about kids doing drugs or having sex, or something. I'm pretty sure every 'classic children's book' was actually sorta dark and/or written by a Penn-State-wave bro who hated the world, but loved young children. Anyways, it is great to hear the riffs of a song abt Ivy League [...]
This aired during the Super Bowl, so it technically counts as a part of a "indie band in commercials" trend ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ vampire-weekend-and-dr-seuss-k ick-it-in-ad-for-the/61502/
Yessir. It's officially freezing out in Boston. Nothing some hot new tunes won't fix… Sabali - Amadou and Mariam - Miike Snow remix - This song is dope. Amadou and Mariam(pic above) made the original (also remixed by mayoral fave, Theophilus London - on his "This Charming Mixtape" - Google and download that shite!)Miike Snow kills this. Enjoy. Texico Bitches - Broken Social Scene - Star Slinger Remix - You all know how much I dig UK producer, Star Slinger. [...]
Tweet January has come and gone. In some parts of the world Lana Del Rey 's "Born To Die" has already been released to mixed reviews, nowhere near making as big a splash as was anticipated by some. I've given it a listen, it's fine, but, as I expected, nothing remarkable. In not-LDR-related news, there have been plenty of good releases so far in this past month, with Cloud Nothings , [...]
The list includes Arcade Fire, the Roots, Wilco, Regina Spektor, and Vampire Weekend.
Arcade Fire @ Obama Staff Ball ( more by Bao Nguyen ) A list of celebrities, reportedly created by Obama 's campaign, sent out on December 5, and acquired by the Tennessean ( PDF HERE ), is being passed around the internet . The list, heavily populated with people who we already know support Obama, is supposedly a wishlist of people the Obama administration hopes to get public support from again in this upcoming election. Among the names on the list: Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Wilco Regina Spektor, Janelle Monae, [...]
A few days ago, Viceroy announced that he'd be releasing this track this morning, and it was a great way to get me excited for a Monday morning (not an easy thing to do). In typical Viceroy fashion, he perfectly captures the feeling of warmth and summertime. His tracks always make their way onto my [...]
Miike Snow is by far one of my favorite artists out there and with his latest track he raised the bar big time. Unfortunately all of our old Miike Snow posts disappeared once we switched over so I do apologize for you Miike Snow fans, but we will work to rebuild our library soon enough. Miike Snow-Paddling Out Miike Snow-Devils Work Miike Snow-Silvia (Roboberget Remix) [...]
Filed under: News JEWEL SAMAD, AFP/Getty Images President Barack Obama may be up against an increasingly disjointed group of candidates but that hasn't stopped him from compiling this crazy wish list of celebrities, musicians, politicians and philanthropists to back his campaign. The 194-person list dug up by the Tennesseean is chock full of curveballs (and no baseball players) but musically displays such incongruities as Vampire Weekend , the Band Perry, Eric Robertson and [...]
MTV reports that President Obama has "a wish list " of campaign supporters for his upcoming 2012 run for re-election and points to a document obtained by The Tennessean . The list includes, among others, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Jay-Z, The Roots, Counting Crows (?), the Band Perry (??) and a boatload of other celebs, CEOs, musicians and Jonas Brothers. According to MTV, the Obama camp has not confirmed (or denied!) any of this, so keep that in mind as you scan this random smattering of a list. Despite the image, Lil [...]
La campaña del 2008 del presidente de los Estados Unidos Barack Obama se ganó la ayuda de muchos integrantes del mundo del arte. Para su campaña de reelección de este año, parece que acudirá a ellos nuevamente. La lista de músicos que potencialmente podrían apoyar esta nueva campaña se filtró a un diario de Nashville la semana pasada. Entre los 194 nombres se encuentran Arcade Fire , Vampire Weekend , Will.I.Am , Jay [...]
A list of who the American President wants to support his re-election campaign has surfaced online...
Is Obama a huge Maroon 5, Glee , and Black Eyed Peas fan? Maybe, maybe not — but he does want their endorsement on his 2012 re-election. The Commander-in-Chief already has stars like Lady Gaga on his team, but that didn't stop him from releasing a "wish list" of celebrities he'd like on board as he bids for a second term. Amongst names we might easily expect to find here, such as B.o.B., Jay-Z, and Alicia Keys, there are such diverse acts as Arcade Fire, Lady Antebellum, the Jonas Brothers, Janelle Monae, Ricky Martin, Regina Spektor, and [...]
This morning we mentioned some upcoming releases we're excited about, but not every band has their plans set in stone. Some are more vague, intentional or not, about their current projects, leaving us to speculate about whether they'll make good on a promise for a record in 2012, or whether they'll just surprise us with a stellar album. Here are some bands we're (*fingers crossed*) expecting/hoping for albums from this year. Sometime in 2012 [...]

Sometimes a song stands out for its individual, boxed-in merits. Other times a song speaks on behalf of an established genre, building on a collective familiarity. And [...]
I feel like the whole world has already heard about indie-pop duo, Midi Matilda . I look around the interweb and see sources as big as the Huffington Post featuring them. How did MTIB miss them? I'm not sure. It's easy to miss a lot in the music world nowadays, but I'm not here to make excuses, because it doesn't really matter when you hear this band. It matters that you hear them. Midi Matilda writes infectious pop music that is comparable to Postal Service , but only in the way that almost any band that [...]
Das Racist's free 2010 mixtapes had critics and fans scratching their heads over whether the trio were for real. The release of their official album 'Relax', while simultaneously resembling a series of elaborate in-jokes, suggests the trio are genuine enough. The Brooklyn band spit over a series of jagged beats produced by the likes of [...]
Missed in 2011 This was too fun to pass up. The Vaccines have a wonderfully straight forward tone; a low fi vintage sound makes them feel like a time traveler from 1986 went back to start a 502s garage band. Ramones, The Strokes, and even a little bit of Vampire Weekend comes in from time [...]
