Sometimes you just need a little music to pelvic thrust to. S'true, deep thinking and obscure lyrics need not always apply. Sometimes you just wanna throw on some heavy basslines and catchy beats to dance your ass off to. Lucky for us, Kinky's Reina knows how to party. Pour some Kinky on your corn flakes and groove up the morning with "Lay Back" after the jump. Mmm groove flakes. Kinky "Lay Back" Let the rhythm seep into your spine. "Lay back and let it go [...]
Which is hopefully what I've done in this update. A new header, some background vanilla, a new star icon, and I'm happy for at least a week. Why update so soon? Well as I mentioned in the grand opening post , this place will be continually evolving as long as I have eyesight and a hand to type with (which won't be long, with the excessive masturbation). Expect further updates to trickle through in the short term. Email Subscription Problems If you're an email subscriber, you've probably missed a few updates [...]
It's been a helluva busy year for Lily Allen. Since bursting onto the scene in early 2006, she's already been praised by music blogs worldwide, had several altercations with other musicians, been misquoted as a coke abuser, scored a spot on NME's "cool list" (as well as BBC3's most annoying), and lost her dog, then had it returned. She even endured a topless photo of herself being passed around the net (turns out? she was 14 in the pic). All this attention, and Lily's album Alright Still has yet to be released in the states. But enough of [...]
Hey, Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day to ya! Celebrate by doing...hmm...well I'm not sure really. Maybe this is one of those somber, remembrance kinda holidays? I'd bet so. Well, for my part, to celebrate the life of an exceedingly impressive political speaker, I'll post the amazing and vaguely political portfolio of Bart van Leeuwen, aka "ImAllFake." It's related. Maybe. But oh yes, his work is beyond impressive, like really really. Do yourself a favor and click everything you can at ImAllFake ( my personal fav ).
The constant musical carnival inside Kevin Barnes' brain doesn't stop for anyone. For of Montreal's lead songwriter, life is a never-ending tune of everyday experience—rhythm as he brushes his teeth, melody while he chats up friends, and harmony when he falls asleep at night. It's the only explanation for the amount and quality of genius indie pop of Montreal have released since their first LP, Cherry Peel , in '97. Their heavily-titled latest album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer , is hardly an exception. Of Montreal "Faberge Falls For [...]
Is that a picture of a tiny puppy asleep on a laptop? Fucking right it is. Isn't he the shit? In other news, being sick blows. FACT. I should return to regularly scheduled posting soon, but in the meantime, do yourself a favor a check out cute overload . Just...too...adorable...must.. .fight it...gah. Anyway, talk at 'cha soon. I'm gonna go lay down, like, forever.
Yeah, I hear all you ear-to-ground hipsters grumbling that this trailer's been out for a while now. Well you're right, it has. But don't you have an ironic t-shirt to overpay for? Great. So here's what I already love about this movie: no tremendously well known actors. No superstars, at least. Why is this a good thing? Because this puts the focus squarely on the movie itself. The story. The acting. The action. And most importantly, the cinematography, which is an absolute knockout. Without Tom Cruise's smile, Colin Farrel's swagger, or Brad Pitt's posturing, there's very little [...]
Heya, happy friday, yous guys. How're you this am? Yawn. So as I wiped the sleep out of my tired eyes and reached for something to play, anything really, I stumbled across Field Music's charming, glossed-over gem of an album Tones of Town . Perfect! Tones is Field Music's second long player, and is a gorgeous self-produced little number on par with anything The Shins, Maxïmo Park, or even Tapes 'n Tapes has aspired to record. Be sure to grab it when it comes out in February. I'm not feeling particularly William Wordsworth this morning (like I [...]
If you've known me for any amount of time, you've probably heard me mention the photography of Merkley???, if only in passing. So who is Merkley??? And why the fuck does he have three question marks in his name (I have no idea)? But what I DO know is that he's a dude that's been getting quite a lot of buzz around the internet lately, and for good reason. No, not because he rocks a beard/hair combo of a quality not seen since Jesus walked the earth (though that helps). But owing instead to his unique vision, style, [...]
Happy New Year's Eve, hoes! Psyched? Amped? PUMPED?! Don't care? Oh. Me either really. Maybe you'll like this though: there's a hot new trailer out for Grindhouse. Which, if you haven't heard about it, is Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's new joint movie/double feature, out next year. Looks very dark, very dirty, and very fun. The cast is, as expected, very unexpected, and goes on for miles. Highlights include: Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Marley Shelton, Kurt Russell (!), Naveen Andrews, Rosario Dawson, Stacy Ferguson, and of course, Danny Trejo as Machete. Aweso...wait. Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson? Seriously? Here's hoping it's a [...]
Two great tastes that taste great together! Hey, you. Not you . Yes, you! Anyway, like music? Weeeeell, you oughta join the super fantastic tony2nice.com group on last.fm! Looking at you in particular, Liz, Justin, Jason, Eman. If you've got any friends you wanna invite, absolutely feel free. We'll need 15 signups before we can start generating group stats, but the group station seems to work already... with the very first song EVER being Martha Wainwright singing "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole." Which is fitting, somehow. Thanks Erin. But yeah, [...]
So everyone's Christmas went swimmingly, I assume? Right on right on. Mine turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable, all things considered. Especially since I managed to get my grubby mitts on the new !!! album, which is really quite good. How quite good? Pretty damn quite good. Even moreso if you like your punk with more than a little funk mixed in (which is everyone, right?). Fans of their past stuff will fer sher find much to love here, though this outing is a bit less indie rock weird, and a lot more dance floor funk. Plus [...]
Tony2Nice.com is now open for business and spamming Hi, and welcome to here! S'about time you made it, don't you think? So after about a month of development, I think I can safely open this piece up. There's still a few minor bugs and tweaks to hammer out, but you'll probably only notice them if you're a web designer, or insanely critical. Luckily I happen to be both, though the meds are helping. If you're reading this soon after it was posted, that means you're probably a close friend. Congrats! You're the [...]
