Blog: Look at me, I made a blog.

To state the obvious, The Teenagers are really French. I usually describe The Teenagers as a cruder, French version of Art Brut , another band that features spoken words instead of actual vocals. If you've listened to any of The Teenagers' music, you've probably found that they are not very serious. Well, The Teenagers didn't start out as a real band; they formed as a joke. They wrote a song based on the comments on their MySpace, and a label thought they were good enough to sign on. Note to self: Create [...]

My name is Sarah , and I like to dance. I like to dance to good music and with people who like to dance. Dance with their eyes closed. Anyways, Mimi asked me to guest write on her blog, and I thought it was going to be a ghostwriting kind of a deal, which is all gravy because my writing sucks, despite my BA in English. But here's what I had drafted while bored at work and on the bus to work. I saved approximately four dollah bills today taking the bus in, but ruined my satin flats. [...]

Chairlift is BFF with a certain MGMT , as shown by the remix and surprise joint shows . [...]

I loved loved loved Zooey in Elf , so her album was highly anticipated one for me. For whatever reason, I thought Volume One would sound jazzier, like Zooey's rendition of "Baby It's [...]

I have to agree with The Bwog ; Columbia obviously didn't do any research before the Bacchanal show. Most people had never heard of Grizzly Bear , even though the band name was written on the ticket. Of course, I was one of the very few people who went to the show mostly to see Grizzly Bear. If you're curious about the National, check out my friend R's coverage here . Before this show, I'd never seen Grizzly Bear perform. I heard them play from afar when they were at [...]

via St. Murse I've been listening to M83 's "Graveyard Girl" from the recently released album Saturdays=Youth (and some Chairlift stuff) on repeat for a few days now. Love the retro Sonic Youth and New Order (I agree, David) feel of this song. Graveyard Girl - M83
