Success Threshold

When 80's music first began to push out oldies on the radio dial in the late 90's, I was excited. But now, all hits every era radio sucks! People it turns out, don't have eclectic tastes when you appeal to the lowest common denominator. While I like Piano Man as much as the next guy, I miss real music choice.

If you stay up until 6am does every internet video become this bizarre?

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:57:36 -0800

This video is so weird throughout that I had to ask myself if I was hallucinating. The 3 foot tall Febreeze bottle on the couch across from me says I'm not.

HIMYM First!!1!!1!

Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:31:00 -0800

I thought the song at the end had some potential, so I probed around for it for awhile.

In retrospect, it definitely wasn't worth it save for these two gems:

I can play that stick-with-a-block-of-wood-thing if you ever need me... That's awesome, Adrienne. Proud that you are my neighbor!

Hmm... A guy named Ted trying to get his dream girl in a quirky way. Coincidence?

I wasted my time, so now I pass it along to you. Lastly, Haley, terrible marketing. I can't buy your song on the night of your big break? 14:57, 14:58, 14:59...

Album of the Year Nominee #1

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:33:00 -0800

This artist collective really came in under the radar this year, but I luckily saw one of their ads while watching A&E at about 4 in the morning. Their post ironic/grindnoise/queercore sound might put some people off initially, but it really is the feelgood album of the year. The uplifting sounds really seem to be speaking to the listener. I imagine it will round out most critic's top 10 lists for 2008.

The Unstoppable Combination of Pugs, Eames 670, and Frankie Valli

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:41:46 -0800

If you've seen the Adidas House Party commercial, you've heard this song. Remixed by Pilooski, another in the long line of fine Parisian DJ's.

Minnesota Music

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:31:00 -0800

In honor of my trip up to the old haunts this week, I'll feature a couple of artists from the Twin Cities.

Brother Ali- Badass albino hip-hop.

Jeremy Messersmith is getting a ton of plays on CIties 97 in Minneapolis right now since his song 7:02 was featured on Cities Sampler Vol. 20. I've read he is an "upbeat Elliot Smith."

Pumped to drive around in my rental and listen to MPR: The Current and Cities 97.

Daft Punk Does Lex

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:33:00 -0800

I could not resist this. Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer Women's Fashion Show in Paris. Guy and Thomas remix a set that climaxes with a mash-up of Lex by Ratatat and Technologic. All this before the grand finale where they go after what is basically their own: Stronger by Kanye.

You probably know Ratatat from "17 Years" featured in an old Hummer commercial. With a song called "Lex" and another called "Wildcat" (off the Classics album), I was sure that they had Kentucky ties. No such luck- they're from Brooklyn. Anyway, these dudes are awesome on their own, but it seems to me that Daft Punk could remix Maura's karaoke and make it a winner. I haven't even mentioned the YouTube Vuitton models.

Here's the full track list from the fashion show mix:

01 Aerodynamic - Daft Punk
02 Human After All - Daft Punk
03 Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger - Daft Punk
04 Sexual Sportswear (SebastiAn Remix)
05 Da Funk - Daft Punk
06 Touch It - Busta Rhymes
07 Lex - Ratatat
08 Stronger - Kanye West
