First video mash-up. I'll be uploading the accompanying essay to my other blog.
Enjoy this multimedia explosion!
It's hard to avoid singing this song when driving through FSU's campus and being barraged by the beautiful bionic women.
These hoes is God's gift- like Christmas.
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
I wish I could fuck every girl in the world
Addictive, yes?
From M83's "Saturdays=Youth" we have the video for "Kim & Jessie", my favorite song on the new album.
This album is quite a bit more approachable than say, Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts, which could border on alienating (the desired effect, of course) with songs like Cyborg and 0078h, along with the entire content and subject matter for the album Before The Dawn Heals Us, which discusses planetary destruction and the human condition of our modern, bioindustrial age. Let Men Burn Stars, and In The Cold I'm Standing, are also two styles of songs, and when they do they are much more pleasant, with piano melodies and gender balanced vocals with plenty of repition and a southing soundscape, like the first track "You, Appearing" and even the track "Highway of Endless Dreams" has a forcefulness about it that makes the song uplifting.
Anthony Gonzalez has done it again, and this album is absolutely amazing. It won't wake you up in the middle of the night to strange and disturbing noises like Dead Cities would do to me sometimes.
Here are two tracks from the new album:
Kim & Jessie
We Own The Sky
In short, he went from hearing Mozart and Bach, to Coltrane and Monk, to Dre and Timbaland...
And from pianos and guitars, to drum machines and turntables
And he gots alot of stuff to get rid of...
Ishmal says it best. He works his magic on a whole slew of different instruments, and Shay-J offers a nice accompanying style and influence. The full album review and interview will be published in the coming weeks!

The real songs refuse to upload, so here are some music videos.

Thank my Media Assemblage Theory Professor, Dr. Rai for this gem.
Man and Wife, the Latter (Damaged Goods)
Manana
Survival of the Fittest/ It's a Jungle Out There
This band feels a lot like Conor's original Commander Venus. Really raw, punk and emo influenced, angsty Conor screaming and jamming out with a lot of rock and power. Desaparecidos, in the discussion of the disillusionment of suburban American in the face of culutral homogenity and commerciality.
How superficial can we get?
Fiona has a beautiful name and a beautiful voice. It's the same somber, spinning style of the original sung by John Lennon on Let It Be. I've always been a sucker for a woman's voice, and the utter reassurance of the song and its power and history hit me every time. It's a very good cover of a classic while still retaining her vocal style and of course the feminine touch.
M83's Teen Angst (Montag Remix) from the Teen Angst EP
Montag remixes M83 in one of my favorite songs by the Frenchie, Teen Angst.
The simple, repetitive lyrics set against the pulsing and dissected duet vocals lamenting the downward spiral of humanity in our teenage angst of existence.
How fast we burn!
How fast we cry!
The more we learn,
The more we die!
The more we learn,
The more we cry!
How fast we burn!
How fast we die!
I hear the planet crying now.

Also, to add to jack, here are tracks 2, 3, and 4 from the Don't Save Us From the Flames EP. Combined with the track he already posted, you would now have the complete EP.
Until The Night Is Over
Don't Save Us From The Flames (Superpitcher remix)
Don't Save Us From The Flames(Boom Bip Remix)
Enjoy.
I would call Antoine Bédard (aka Montag) Canada's Justin Tamborello, with a French twist. Young, distant, collaborative and branched, while mixing electronic and dream-pop with classic renditions of duets to create a wonderful dreamscape. He has a sound that is obviously a descendent of a band like Air, and is quite similar sounding to one of his friends and fellow collaborators, Anthony Gonzalez (M83).
Unlike M83, however, I'm not left with a cold, distanced, mechanical taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I love the taste of iron, but Montag's effect is warm, inviting, and just poppy enough to catch your attention so he can lull you with songs like "Exit Mélodie".
Here are three songs from Alone, Not alone:
Grand Luxe
Perfect Vision
Angles, Country + Terrain Connu
Enjoy the mellow sounds of our northern friend during your Finals week.
From Figurine's Transportation + Communication = Love:I Wait for You (By the Telephone)
My First UFO
Our Song
A weird electronic band with the members David Figurine, Justin Figurine, and Meredith Figurine.
You've probably heard of Justin Figurine for his work in Dntel under his other name.
Check it out. A hidden gem.
I remember my high school English teacher, Ms. Guha (Goo-ha), asking our class if any of us had heard of Billy Bragg, a folk singer from before our time. I was the only person in class who had, and I asked if she had heard of his work with the band Wilco. She hadn't, but you will.
Billy Bragg and Wilco worked together in 1998 and released Mermaid Avenue, which is a collection of lyrics from American folk singer Woody Guthrie, who died in 1967. The album displays the creativity from three different artist identities: Woody Guthrie, Billy Bragg, and Jeff Tweedy/Wilco. Although I wish the album was longer to give more to the listener in terms of hearing each entity develop while developing as a whole, but what I heard was still good.
Enjoy the great elements from early, to modern, to very modern American "folk" music, and the culmination of all three into one album and sound.
Here's California Stars.
…"a motor-driven conveyor consisting of a series of seats suspended from a cable and used for transporting skiers or sightseers up or down a long slope or mountainside"
…"a band of ghosts making chamber music for young adults"
Evident Utensil
This is the title track from the 7" above, and my favorite track on the main album.
Enjoy.
Cartwheels
Quiet, introspective, folky. The band was started by the lead of Snow Patrol, and released two albums, with a combination of 47 musicians from other popular bands like Mogwai, Belle & Sebastian, and Arab Strap.
Very enjoyable albums. They're no Broken Social Scene, but not every huge indie collaborative can be. The group has all the attractive features of the voice of Lightbody, without the pop aura that seems to taint his other work.
From Panama City, we have Blood Raw. Enjoy.

wtf happened to them?
Oh Messy Life
This band has more passion behind it than any other band I've ever listened to. This album is raw, unpolished, young, experimental, but still catchy and impacting. The band's comprised of Tim Kinsella (vocals/Joan of Arc, Owls), Samuel Burick (bass), Mike Kinsella (drums/Joan of Arc, American Football), Victor Villareal (guitar), and Davey von Bohlen (guitar, vocals/Promise Ring). They only released one full-length album, Schmap'n Schmazz (as it's often called), and the band broke up almost immediately after its release. What we're left with is ANALPHABETOLOGY, the anthology of Schmap'n Schmazz and some other live stuff along with other little tracks they released.
This band formed in the end of the first emo wave (Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, etc) in 1989, released Schmap'n Schmazz in 1994, when Sunny Day Real Estate released Diary. What we're left with now is the legacy they left behind in the form of bands like Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, and boys dressing like girls and a lot of dark clothing, ugly hair and bad makeup. Even though the bands that spawned in the wake of Cap'n Jazz may be bad, their good features are undeniable. They are amazingly creative and confrontational, yelling, emoting, and gushing lyrics violently and often to where you can barely understand them. This album is loud, introspective and full of the passion and feeling we all feel when growing up.
If you like any modern alternative band you should give this song a listen and you can see the subsequent influence on modern bands. Give it a listen.
I, like Thom, have an affinity for puppet music videos. They rock. Here are a few more puppet videos I remember as being really cool.
Supergrass's Pumping On Your Stereo
Blur's Coffee & TV
Interpol's Evil
Reggie and the Full Effect's Get Well Soon
Enjoy.
