Actor Emergency!

He is the best. The best I tell you!

Music is the Best Apology

To those who still read this: Thank you!
I apologize for the horrible lack of updates and posts. While most likely a handful of people read this - and I probably know all of you - it is a fun little thing to do. Dare I call it a hobby? Nope, because it doesn't involve a park bench, cheap sunglasses, weird looks from moms and the cops asking me questions to which I respond to being overly polite.

Here is a song to ease the pain of being gone for so long and to slowly slip back into your daily lives.

Music: Back in the Habit...

Tues Tunes

Just a quick Tuesday Tune so you know we're still here.

Double Dip

This double dip of James Vincent McMorrow is brought to you by Dippin' Dots. Not really but that sure would be special.

Two In One Day? No Way!

Mitch got me going on Music Mondays. Now, I don't think I can top his post of that great artist (see earlier MARCH 7 post), but I'll throw out a cut that I've been jamming to all weekend.



Happy birthday to:
Bryan Cranston
Academy Award Winner Rachel Weisz
Laura Prepon
Peter Sarsgaard
Jenna Fischer
The Dad from Home Alone
Tom Hank's best friend from Castaway (now even more reason to watch it).

Monday Music

Here's an artist I heard on NPR this morning and can't get out of my head. His name is James Vincent McMorrow and the song is Breaking Hearts. I highly recommend listing to the whole album if you can get your hands on it.

Hell Yeah! Walk In

A old-time favorite. Make it happen, luv ya.

Fri Fri Fri Friday!

I haven't posted very much in the past couple months and I apologize, hopefully this tune makes up for my absence. It's been stuck in my head all day. As a quick Friday bonus, here is a quote of the day.

"POP! POP!" - Magnitude

MUSIC: Say What? Weekend Jam!

To get your weekend jamming, I selected this jam in honor of Ron and Tammy. On Parks and Rec last night, Ron mentioned this was their song. So here you go, Ron!

Every time I ask,"What's happening down here at the end of the hall?" I have never walked in on that type of crazy party. Lionel you attract a crowd at the end of the hall like nobody's business.

Music: The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness

Stereogum has a free stream of 'Under Cover of Darkness' from the Strokes' upcoming new album Angles. Considering it has been five years since new Strokes' music, I'm very excited. Anything that transports me away from multiple inches of snow and sub-zero temps I'm jamming to on my iPod. The album comes out March 22 and the new single is available on iTunes now.

Listen here.



And because I mentioned the last album, I decided to include my favorite song from First Impressions of Earth.

Keep on the look out for Magnitude! And the hot librarian from Community.

Between Two Ferns with Jennifer Anderson "Second Guest"

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Tila Tequila from Between Two Ferns

Music: Band of the Weekend

Decided to give a band of the weekend in anticipation for the big game this weekend. The ever high honor goes to: The Naked and Famous. I am enjoying them this past week thanks to NBC's Chuck. The band's song "Young Blood" was a track during the episode. Very Passion Pit in music styling. Up-tempo, synthesizers and for my money just a good time when playing. Enjoy!

Cheers to the Superbowl!

Oh, yeah, please watch Community!

What Bar Are They At?

All my years going to a bar I've never seen ladies like this just playing pool and talking football. I have to ask: What bar are they at? I would give good money to find out what place girls like that just chill and hang out. The only thing that would make that video better is they were talking about the CHIEFS in the Superbowl, or they said "Rock Chalk."

Well done makers of that video, I will forever hang out around pool tables assuming girls-who-look-like-that will eventually stop by and show me their proper techniques to catch a football.

Bold prediction: that never happens
Bolder prediction: Steelers win and the sports talking heads will start to discuss if Big Ben is the best postseason QB ever.

Shortest Clip Ever!

COMMUNITY!!

I Have To Show This Now and This.....

After posting the two clips of Jack White rockin' it, I started to watch clips from It Might Get Loud and had to post this. This is when Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin is talking about the origin of Kashmir with Jack White and the Edge. Really sweet part of a great movie.



This video gets me pumped. But anyone jamming on a guitar will always take second place to Willie the Wildcat!



Now, I have to include this, because talking about Led Zeppelin made me want to blast this song in preparation for the weekend!
YESSS!!!ohohasdhfaoshdfoh weekend!!!!@#)!*)!(@*#

Jack White

I think the title alone makes you watch this video. But this is Jack White performing with Wanda Jackson on the Late Show with David Letterman.



Here is Jack and Wanda Jackson on Conan a few nights later.

New Music: Cold War Kids

Cold War Kids newest album, Mine is Yours, comes out Tuesday. With the band supplying a free stream over on their Myspace page (what's that?) I have to say I've enjoyed the cd a lot. While it is different from their previous albums, this one is trying to connect to a wider audience with a little more up-tempo radio-friendly cuts. Please go out and buy the album tomorrow!

Random Links Round Up

Wanted to share a few cool links and tidbits with you all. Please enjoy the links! The first is a song by The Menahan Street Band. (And yes, the song should sound somewhat familiar.)



Cool article by Pat Forde of ESPN talking about fan devotion, highlighting a University of Kansas fan!
