For some reason the rain always affects the mood, so with recent cloudy skies, I've been looking for something a bit peppier to pick up my mood, and yours too. Luckily, I've got this great little jam from Toronto's Moon King . They've just put out a new 73 that you can grab for free right HERE , but I've got one of the tracks to offer you. On this number, you get a more organic version of what Karen O did for the Where the Wild [...]
Murmurs starting surfacing of Karen O's psycho opera, Stop The Virgens , a few months back. However, details were kept to a minimum leaving curious imaginations to run wild. Karen O, best known as the front woman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs , and her for audacious fashion statements, has never been shy expressing her true self. Musically, she has received Grammy and MTV VMA nominations for her work with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, scored tracks for feature [...]

Here's a great video for an equally amazing song by Lohio, off their latest release Family Tree. The vibes of this song and the video instantly remind me of Where The Wild Things Are, and therefore it gushes with the nostalgia of childhood imagination and wonder. You can stream the EP at Lohio's [...]
"I Don't Care" and "Shine"—songs by New Paltz, New York band Breakfast in Fur—make me want to hide my electric guitar and bury my punk records for fear of disturbing this innocent and wildly engaging acoustic wonderland. The songs on the band's EP— in turns adventurous, mischievous, and purposely disengaged from the adult world—recall Maurice Sendak's Where The Wild Things Are as much as the EP's album cover, an illustration which features a very Max-like child fitted in an animal onesie. The line between children's entertainment and psychedelia has always been shifty and hard to pin down. [...]
Photography by ME ! Well oh well oh well... here we are, once again. at the "end" of another exciting and fun and musically awesome year! What? You don't think this was a "good year for music"? You know what we always say about that right? If you ain't finding music your digging, you ain't digging deep enough. With the sheer (shear?) wealth of albums out there, from the label releases to the self-released albums on the bandcamps and blogs [...]
![Arcade Fire - The Suburbs [Music Video + Mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2983149_lg.jpg)
Further chugging along on their crusade to make known their genius brand of Canadian indie pop to all, Montreal's The Arcade Fire have recently teamed up with Spike Jonze ( Where The Wild Things Are , Being John Malkovich ) on the music video for the title track of their latest record, The Suburbs . As if the band hadn't outdone themselves with their highly innovative and interactive HTML5 visual collaboration with Google on their single for "We Used To Wait," it seems that working with one of today's greatest creative directors is the most logical step forward. [...]
"Sleep" is a high concept performance piece with visual poetic twists. The spine of the video has Beck Motley and Bon Voyage performing in various locations – urban landscapes, vibrant city lights, and around simple architecture. The visuals capture the aggressive nature of the artists and illustrate the feeling of the song through its lyrics. Destined to have an unforgettable impact on the world of music, The Airplane Boys continue to eel to the next level. Wow, I havent heard from these guys in while! This joint is off their upcoming album Where've You [...]
by teepoo This adorable album artwork by Theo3 is quite appropriate for this album mixed by Canadian producer Emay . The songs are reinterpretations of Karen O's work on the Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack. Karen O provided a framework with beautifully worked soundscapes and Emay remixed it. The first track Igloo kicks it off with some addictive rhythms combined with Karen O's tranquil voice and electronic sounds created by "the Kids" who are [...]
I began my very first Secret Garden Party experience with a packed out show at the Where The Wild Things Are Stage, and the wild thing in question in this case was the amazing Beans On Toast - aka Jay, who runs the amazing Flowerpot venue in Kentish Town . I first encountered Beans On Toast performing solo at a sold out Frank Turner show in Cambridge last year, and when I saw him appearing full band on the Secret Garden Party lineup, I knew the performance was a must. Remarking at the [...]
Emay, Karen O , and the Kids is a music project that is based off Where the Wild Things Are: book, movie, and soundtrack (Karen O as in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs). It's kind of pointless to talk about good music when you could just listen to it . But you should listen to more because the album keeps getting better. I posted the intro track because it's a good introduction (duh). Here's some mo:

While the high profile (and excellent) original soundtrack for Where The Wild Things Are featuring Karen O and the Kids was snubbed by the Academy this year (though it did receive both Grammy and Golden Globe nods), the lesser known documentary film on Maurice Sendak entitled, Tell Them Anything You Want was not. The Lance Bangs/Spike Jonze directed short documentary feature comes out on DVD on March 2, 2010 , which is also the same day that the critically polarizing [...]

Spike Jonze's visceral masterpiece, Where the Wild Things Are, employed the voices of several high powdered celebrities. Most notably, James Gandolfini, who is everyone's favorite Jersey gangster patriarch. The situation just got a whole lot heavier for poor Max.
