The Swedish certainly seem to have cornered the market on pop. Every year they seem to produce a new quality sleeper hit pop band and We & Lisa are another example of how good it can be when they get it right. Complete with twee melodies, synths, electronic beats, slow bass and catchy guitar hooks. They're electro dream pop music is irresistibly charming and flows out of the speakers with allure. To mark that special time of year, We & Lisa have decided to release their new "Winter" EP for free. We & Lisa originally met [...]

A lot of people know Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice but you should also get accuainted with another novel of hers Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, that she wrote with Seth Grahame Smith . Ok so they didn't write it together but they should have cause it makes those classic literature people get their crumpets in a bunch. If you wondering what it's about here is the synopsis: 'It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.' So begins Pride and Prejudice and [...]

Adam Scott is one of my fav actors working on television right now. If you have never seen Party Down(STARZ) , you are truly missing out on one of the best shows on tv right now.

With that said, he has a new movie coming out where he is the main star entitled "The Vicious Kind" and I am super excited about this. Not only does it have Adam but also has JK Simmons [...]

Me either. I'll be honest I think I might of came across this show a while ago when it was still running, but haven't seen or heard anything about it till today. This was also pure conicendce. I was searching for No Knife on youtube.com and came across the below video for The Red Bedroom, but what I found way more. This was some kind of weekly show showcasing some amazing acts ranging from TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, The Hold Steady, and Cattle Decapitation. Couldn't find much more info except that they where around from 2002 to 2007 and [...]
So, it's that time of year when everyone is sharing their "best of the year" lists. I wanted to be part of the fun, but I just want to say before you start reading that these are only my favorite songs of 2009, not the best. Yes, I included Miley Cyrus on the list, which is why I say this is DEFINITELY not a list of what I consider to be the "best." Just songs that I love. So, enjoy! "Graze" - Animal Collective This opening track to 2009's Fall Be Kind [...]

The secret word is Fisburne. In a recent interview with MTV, Mr. Paul Rubens himself stated that there is a completed script for Pee Wee's Playhouse: The Movie. No clue on if it is actually going to be made or not since this has been circling around for years. One of those was an actual adult oriented The Pee Wee Herman Story and the other was going to be based on everybody's favorite Saturday morning cartoon. As long as Lawrence Fishburne , AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, comes back to play Cowboy Curtis the world may forget Rubens messing with the [...]

Excuse me while I go off about how awesome Zeni Geva is. I get to check out a lot of metal acts through working through the site or just plain being surrounded by metal musicians but no band over the last two years get me excited as much as Zeni Geva does.

Since the year is almost over I'm going to go ahead and proclaim "The Final Breaths of a Main Character" by The Woods as the best video of 2009. The video for the Florida based band was directed by Raul B Fernandez who also shot the video for Kate Micucci's "Walking In Los Angeles"(also featured below). Fernandez has marked himself as one to watch with his creative style and unique vision. The Final Breaths Of The Main Character is featured on The Woods self titled debut album which tells the story of a boy [...]
The new red band trailer has been released, thanks to Funny or Die , for the January 10th released Youth In Revol t. The movie stars Michael Cera playing his normal shy, monotone self striving to find love and lose his cherry. At first I was like "come on Cera, play something different", but it got better halfway through the trailer. Cera's character Nick forms an alter ego called Francois and takes Nick through actions and speech you would normally never see from a Cera played character. Directed by the same guy that did Good Girl [...]
I remember close to 7 years ago I saw a video for Mr. Your On Fire from a new New York band called the Liars and being instantly drawn in. That record They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument On Top is still one of my favorite records and since then they have released 3 more records quietly becoming one of the most original, weirdest bands around. Well it's time for another release and on March 10th Sisterworld will be released on Mute records. Below is the tracklist, MP3 of Scissor, and [...]
