When U2’s new single, “Get On Your Boots”, off of their new album No Line On The Horizon, was released, I was initially underwhelmed, but it wasn’t long until I warmed up to its fast paced, cheesy lyrics. Only a world-renowned activist like Bono could whip out the line, “I don’t want to talk about [...]
School of Seven Bells
Named after a mythical South American pickpocketing school, School of Seven Bells consists of Secret Machines’ Benjamin Curtis and identical twins Alejandra and Claudia Deheza. Their electronic, airy feel resonates throughout the entirety of the hypnotizingly beautiful “Half Asleep”, off of their 2008 debut, Alpinisms.
Half Asleep- School of Seven Bells
Ding.
I’ve been on an inexcusably long hiatus, and your inboxes and news feeds have been inexcusably empty as a result.
“Service Bell” made me break the silence.
A part of the star-studded charity album Dark Was The Night, the Grizzly Bear and Feist track has been on repeat all day today. There’s something about her haunting, airy [...]
Cover Lover 2
When compiling this post, I had so many great covers that I’m all set for Cover Lover 3! This being said, I pushed my favorites to the front. I especially recommend the Bloc Party cover; Final Fantasy puts his heart into that one.

A Little Lonelier
This weekend, I listened to the entirety of The Lonely Island’s Incredibad, previously mentioned here, and was pleasantly surprised. A solid album with hilarious guest appearances, from The Strokes’ Julian Casablanca to a scat-tastic Jack Black, The Lonely Island didn’t half-ass their first record, and it shows.
Previously, they have relied on the music video format, using larger-than-life visual characters [...]
A Diamond in The Rough
When Kanye’s 808’s and Heartbreak was released, it was promptly attacked by a tsunami of backlash. As a result, everyone and their mother remixed the songs, in an attempt to fix what Kanye had so hurriedly spit out.
Over the last few months, I have heard over fifteen remixes of Heartbreak, so it is easy to [...]

New Manchester Orchestra
The masterminds behind of one of my favorite albums of 2006, I’m Like A Virgin Losing A Child, Manchester Orchestra has done it again. Fresh off of a tour promoting their newest EP Let My Pride Be What’s Left Behind, Orchestra has just released a free MP3 entitled “I’ve Got Friends”.
A solid single, “Friends” [...]
I’m On A Boat
A group of comedians out of San Fransisco, The Lonely Island consists of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg. Initially gaining buzz from their online shorts, the boys were picked up by Saturday Night Live in 2005, with Samberg as a “featured player” and Schaffer and Taccone as writers. This proved to be a sound [...]
