Broken Bells - "The High Road"

Hey! It's the dude from The Shins with the guy from Gnarls Barkley! Together! And, shit, it just sounds good. Lame video though.

YACHT - "Psychic City (Voodoo City)"

I know it's bordering on hipster scum and all that, but it's undeniably catchy =\

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - "40 Day Dream"

Two months later, I finally figured out who the hell sang this song!

Walter Meego - "Girls"

Where have I been? Slow to catch on, that's for sure.

Cold War Kids - "Audience"

This is one of the best songs I've heard this year. Yea, this year kind of sucked, but even in a good year, this song would hold its own.

Albert Hammond Jr. vs Julian Casablancas

Does anybody miss The Strokes yet? Yeah, whatever. In any case, whose solo project sings to your heart?

Albert Hammond, Jr.'s (that's a punctuation nightmare) "GfC" is from 2008, but the whole CD is really slick and worth a listen:




Julian Casablancas' sounds more Strokes-like, for better or for worse. Just listen:

The Big Pink - Dominos

Not new, but noteworthy

The Temper Trap - "Sweet Disposition"

Catchy!

Beyonce - Sweet Dreams

FANTASTIC. That's the only way to describe Beyonce's new video for "Sweet Dreams". I absolutely hated "Halo," but with this, all is forgiven.

Shakira is Fantastic

Shakira - New Music - More Music Videos

Shakira's new song "She Wolf" is fantastic. The video is also fantastic. Her ass is fantastic. The lyrics make no sense, but she makes them fantastic. Shakira is fantastic.

Chester French - She Loves Everybody

I resisted, but this song is so damn catchy. I blame Pharrell.

Cut Copy + Concert = Good!

I almost forgot I went to the free Cut Copy concert on campus last night until "Nobody Lost, Nobody Found" played in iTunes DJ. I was in a total daze from sewing that damn coat that I could only go for the first 45 minutes or so, which was energetic, upbeat, and full of awkward WashU kids instead of hyper-extreme hipsters. Thankfully, it wasn't too crowded or too sweaty or whatever. Best moment? Some dumb bitch trying to squeeze to the front falling flat on her face after tripping on some guy's wheelchair. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Anyways, check out "Nobody Lost, Nobody Found" above. I really need to go to more concerts this summer.

The Virgins - "Week of Danger"

The Virgins - "Love Is Colder Than Death"

My favorite song by The Virgins, now making me really regret not seeing them live, for free, when they came to my school a few weeks ago. D'oh!

YouTube - The Virgins: "Love Is Colder Than Death"

Coconut Records - "West Coast"

It's catchy! Thanks Jason Schwartzman!

Pharrell + Frontin' = Still Good!

The Talented Mr. Ripley Soundtrack

When did Tyson Ritter become Art Alexakis?

Case in point, the new All-American Rejects video for "Gives You Hell".

Clair de Lune + Fantasia

Regina Spektor - Fidelity

I know it's old, but I really felt like listening to Regina Spektor today. And the video is real sweet. Watch and be mesmerized by the powdery colors! Or colorful powders. Or something like that.

PS: I want his shirt.
