THE PIPETTES are playing their first LA show @ the Troubadour on June 11th. I'll be there with my letter sweater, poodle skirt and saddle shoes. ;) THE PIPETTES "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" [...]

Must be something in the water in Sweden . . . The Tough Alliance "First Class Riot" video Download The Tough Alliance "First Class Riot" (via yousendit)

woah. thanks to blake for making me pay more attention to lyrics. does this mean what i think it means? what do you think? either way - this is my favorite song of the moment. so so so so so so good. "Straight Lines" Breathing from a hole in my lung I had no one But faces in front of me Racing through the void in my head To find traces of a good luck academy Sparks ignite and trade them for thought About [...]

Lets talk about SILVERCHAIR ! They are BACK , with a new album called YOUNG MODERN , which is already breaking records in Australia. (#1 album & #1 single first week!) This album is by far, the BEST thing I've heard ALL YEAR. Period. From start to finish - this album is mind blowing. I haven't listened to a record this much since MUSE "ABSOLUTION" . It's so rare that an album captures my attention to stay in my car to listen to the whole [...]

Travis "Selfish Jean" video interpretation by Demetri Martin . Good work Demetri - your 15 minutes start right about . . . Now! :)

THE KISSAWAY TRAIL This song is painfully good. So good that I can't help but hit repeat over and over and over . . . Must have something in the water in Denmark, so many great bands come out of there! The Kissaway Trail "Smother+Evil=Hurt" Video THE KISSAWAY TRAIL MYSPACE PAGE Thanks to [...]

ALL HAIL ED BANGER Records . Can they do no wrong? Especially JUSTICE . You guys need to stop it with all the hit songs and good ideas . . . give somebody else a chance! I love this song & video - every time I watch it, I catch something new . . . Great job to directors - Jonas & François . I predict you guys will get an avalanche of phone calls & emails from many a major label video commisioner! [...]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This post just might be my favorite. I'm finally getting over the fact that I'm not a journalist, so my writing doesn't have to be perfect, and I don't have to use proper punctuation really . . . it's my blog and I can write in run-on's if I want to! Oh yeah, I sometimes go off on a tangent, so please excuse my ADD. Now back to my favorite post! Today I am still recovering from being sick, so I'm stuck on the couch surfing my fav music blogs, [...]

UGH. I Hate being sick. Ugh Ugh Ugh. I've been sick and out of the office since Wednesday. I knew I was getting sick when I turned down tickets for RUFUS WAINWRIGHT's sold out show on Tuesday night!!! (thanks so much Nicole for offering!) Whenever I am sick, I just sit on the couch, catch up on TV, and the only thing that tastes good is ICE CREAM or Fruit Popsicles! Which brings me to this AMAAAAAZING track! (which you might [...]

I'd hedge my bets that I'm going to be at the EchoPlex AGAIN this weekend. (I was just there DJing for The Walkmen show on Saturday. Which reminds me - why the F didn't The Walkmen play "Wake Up" ? Um, you aren't Radiohead and "Wake Up" isn't CREEP , why not give the people what they want!) Anywhoo . . . have you been to this new venue yet? It's HUGE. Plus it's really pretty inside. [...]

i'm obsessssssssed with the new Rihanna song "Umbrella". there's nothing like a good pop song! this one is my favorite, currently replacing beyonce's "irreplaceable" (which i believe is written by the same guy . . . ne-yo . . . am i right? if so, he's a genius.) here's the video if you haven't seen it. Rihanna looks damn good in everything from a black cat suit, leotard with black point ballet shoes, and nothing but silver spray paint! [...]

HELL YA! (Revised Lineup) Today is one of those days where I can't just get a break . . . I was on my way back from NASHVILLE this morning - and of course - I JUST missed the courtesy shuttle to the airport by 2 minutes !!! DOH! That was my warning of how my day was going to go . . . Then, I get back into LA, and have 4 frantic emails and voicemail messages from the opening band on HELL YA! Night tonight. [...]

CHRIS GARNEAU WOW. Where did this guy come from? How do you pronounce his last name? Why haven't I heard these tracks on Grey's Anatomy? Why are all the beautiful ones batting for the other team? O well. I'm glad to know him now. Run, don't walk, and buy his album "Music For Tourists". Listen when you have a box of kleenex around. (Squish squish) [...]

DUKES OF DAVILLE I have been holding in some HUGE news about Dukes Of Daville , who are my latest signing to HELL YA! Records . . .(i HAVE learned from my mistakes - like my last post about X-1 "new york is so cool", so I kept silent so I wouldn't jinx it!) Drumroll please . . . HELL YA! Records band DUKES OF DAVILLE have their single "Steady" (baby) featured in the movie [...]

here's a song that is so funny and clever that it will shoot to be #1 most requested song faster than you can say 'united states of whatever' . (or 'everybody's free to wear sunscreen' ) you've seen this video right? Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip "Thou Shault Always Kill" here's the clever lyrics: [...]

BLAKE LEWIS (AMERICAN IDOL) This year I've been getting into American Idol ALOT more. Actually watching every episode, not just the finale. Blake (the guy that beat boxes) is very original, and I think he has a good chance to be in the top 3 or at least top 5. He's known for incorporating BeatBoxing/Breaking into his songs. If you don't watch the show, this probably sounds really cheesy, but somehow it works. At least he's doing something original, like Sanjaya. (who grows on me more and more each [...]

what a difference a day makes. yay TGIF! If you are looking to see some good music, come to the ECHO to see the UK band WHITEY ! Nathan (Mr. Whitey himself) has a new album, and it's great. Until I'm allowed clearance to post a new track, check out the video that first got me hooked. [...]
