Happy Fucking Birthday from Purity Ring

Apr 27, 2011, 1:29am Too Much Happiness
Yeah. I know. It's not your fucking birthday. But I guarantee you that SOMEONE* had a birthday on April 18th. And that person must have been ecstatic. Because Purity Ring dropped Ungirthed 73 . And if you haven't heard it yet just hit play. IT WILL FEEL LIKE YOUR FUCKING BIRTHDAY. That heavy wobble mixed [...]

Of Montreal – False Priest

Dec 13, 2010, 12:40pm Too Much Happiness
Well there's the whole: Elliot Smith, Kanye West, Rufus Wainwright, Keane, and Spoon to name a few thing. Then there is the matter of scores: Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I Heart Huckabees. There are more of course. Jon Brion produced the artists. He also wrote the scores. Jon Brion is, [...]

The Black Ryder at 33 Ritch

Dec 6, 2010, 10:35pm Too Much Happiness
Formerly of the "Morning After Girls", Aimee Nash and Scott Von Ryper make up the new shoegaze act The Black Ryder. On first glance, they look like they are too cool to hang out with you. More than likely, they are. They also look like they want to do nothing but fuck you up with [...]

Ghostly Swim, FLYamSAM, and Beats Hotter & Wetter Than the Summer

Nov 22, 2010, 5:27pm Too Much Happiness
The Offbeat is the best way to start your day. If want the start of your day to involve being blasted into orbit on a rocket ship to take a quick dip into outer space. Simple as pie. This GNG BNG remix is nothing but raw sex. Harsh. Sexy. Over too soon. FlyAmSam - "The [...]

Gold Panda: Like Stripper Glitter in Your Mouth

Oct 27, 2010, 11:45pm Too Much Happiness
Gold Panda (Ghostly) just dropped his new LP: Lucky Shiner. More than a solid follow up to the recent "You EP." If my ears had taste buds* they'd probably describe the sound of Gold Panda's latest effort, as stripper glitter in my mouth.* The only way I can dream about liking it more - is [...]

The New British Invasion

Sep 17, 2010, 8:49am Too Much Happiness
Ellie Goulding is coming hard out of England right now, and we yanks should count ourselves jammy beggars that this bird ain’t no scrubber. The twenty-three year old is already a BFD in The Isles and starting to explode in The States, being picked up by some very savvy music supervisors for film and TV. [...]

Sep 16, 2010, 8:56am Too Much Happiness
Finally. An outdoor festival that didn’t suck. This past Saturday, FYF (Fuck Yeah Fest) took place downtown in the Los Angeles State Historic Park. It was 102 degrees. The lines were hours long. Beer Gardens were overflowing with more hipsters than alcohol. It was a perfect storm of elements to make for an awful time. [...]

Freddie Gibbs Str8 Killa No Filla Will Fuck You Up: Awesomely

Sep 8, 2010, 11:59am Too Much Happiness
Sooner or later I'm more than likely going to get gunned down in a drug deal gone sideways. Which means that eventually, one of my crew is going to have to avenge my death. And when they do avenge my death they better do it with Oil Money by Freddie Gibbs playing in the background [...]

No Sophomore Slump for Christian Cuff’s Chalkboard

Aug 8, 2010, 5:06pm Too Much Happiness
Sequels are hard to get right. Just ask MGMT. The first one is easy. No one knows what to expect. The second one though? That's tough. Preconceived notions are tough demons to dispel for anyone. Apparently not so much for Christian Cuff though. Chalkboard is his version of taking you on an adventure. And he's [...]

(500) Days of Weezy OR “Bad Choices Lead To Good Albums”

Jul 30, 2010, 8:59am Too Much Happiness
Whiskey pong was a bad choice. Sometimes, something sounds like a great idea at the time, like whiskey pong (especially after being already drunk from the flowing keg of cider), only to find out later* that it was in fact a BAD IDEA. But by the same token something may sound like an awful idea, [...]

Nosaj Thing Remixing Charlotte Gainsbourg, Beck, and the XX. I Can’t Wait.

Jul 26, 2010, 5:30am Too Much Happiness
Hypothetically speaking, say The Church of Scientology was, a Bank Robber who had taken hostages. And everyone who was a Scientologist was a hostage. With me so far? Okay, now let's pretend we are the 'negotiators' on the outside. Like the movie with Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson. Called The Negotiator. In this scenario [...]

FAST TRACK(s) FRIDAY – Pinback vs Spoon

Jul 23, 2010, 12:37pm Too Much Happiness
I'm constantly getting these songs mixed up. "Fortress" started in the car the other day and I thought it was "Don't You Evah." Spoon started playing in the coffee shop this morning and I thought it was Pinback. Am I crazy? You decide... Spoon - "Don't You Evah" Pinback - "Fortress" P.S. Pinback is playing [...]

Zack Hemsey Should Score Your Movie OR “You Are Blowing My Mind Hole Right Now!”

Jul 23, 2010, 8:59am Too Much Happiness
I saw Inception yesterday. I hate when people hype a movie, because it inevitably falls short of your built up expectations and then you don’t like it as much as your friends, and you sit their looking at each other not knowing what the other was smoking, because they obviously didn’t see the same movie [...]

The Perfect Summer Show That I Didn’t See

Jul 20, 2010, 8:01am Too Much Happiness
Grin and bear it. I clenched my teeth reading, literally, five posts in a row from friends who were at this concert. The bird and the bee, The Swell Season and She & Him. It is perhaps the most perfect summer show on the Hollywood Bowl’s summer schedule this year. “Why didn’t you just buy [...]

People Who Live in Crystal Castles Should Not Throw Gemstones OR “Breakups Are Hard”

Fuck you, Lady Antebellum. I now dread punching the radio knob in the dashboard of my Kia Sorento for fear of finding tunes from the likes of you, bathed in bathos, dragging me into your sentimental worlds, trying to make me feel sorry for myself. This goes for all country and 60% of everything else. [...]
