The Shrine / An Argument from Sean Pecknold on Vimeo.

This is a really well done video from one of my favorite bands, Fleet Foxes.


This will be on the next hip hop mix, which is just waiting to get zipped up and posted. STS who we have been featuring a lot lately, once again kills his verse on this. Shaun Boothe rips it as well, love the ending to his verse. If you have two emcees tearing shit up over an Otis Redding sample, then you have my attention.


This is totally not music related. It also may not be as awesome to those of you who venture outside every once in awhile and do not know every meme in existence but I thought this was pretty well done. Do you ever watch those internet clip shows and find out that you have seen all of them already? Just me? Yeah I think I have a problem...and a Doctorate in useless internet content.


Awesome video of the Muppet singers at Jim Henson's memorial in 1990. Touching, funny, amazing. I love me some Muppets. Bonus Fraggles appearance at the end, damn I loved that show too.

'Drive' to Shitty Music Trailer - watch more funny videos

I really enjoyed, "Drive." The music had an integral part of the feeling that the movie was going for. Here is how you ruin that tone, I give you, "Drive" set to shitty music.


Great video of, My Morning Jacket, at the Fox theater. Directed by, Scott Compton via. My Morning Jacket will be in town again on Friday, December 2nd. The craziest part? Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are opening for them. Tickets are $45 plus service charge and you can get them here.


The blog I saw this on called this the worst music ever made. I am inclined to agree. This is the video by SuperHeavy, which is a supergroup consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, Damian Marley, and Allah Rakha Rahman. Joss sounds and looks good, Damian does that R. Kelly talk sing thing that while amusing was never the way I enjoyed music. The part that literally made me start laughing out loud was Mick Jagger. Seriously try and watch his parts with a straight face. Que Ridiculo.

Mountain Man - Holy Father from LaundroMatinee on Vimeo.

I like this Mountain Man video. So, the MTV music video awards were on the other day. Jesus, is there anything else that could make you feel really fucking old? I only saw a small portion, I saw Adele nervously sing, "Someone Like You" she even let out a big breath at the end like, "Whew glad that shit's over." Gaga admitted that she had a penis and made shit really awkward with a downtrodden ghost of Britney Spear's hotness. Chris Brown was doing fight scenes, thankfully with men, while horribly lip syncing to auto-tune, for a bemused Kanye and totally uninterested Jay-z. No idea why they kept showing them. Oh, congrats on the behbay Hov!!

In this little snippet I saw, when they gave awards for the actual videos, I had no fucking clue what the songs were. I could recognize the names, but I could not sing one line from one of the songs. *adjusts belt above waist, books flight to Florida* But I am not even upset about losing touch with that formerly mecca-like outpost of my youth. We have grown apart MTV, while you play your Katy Perry and Bieber videos I will be listening to Mountain Man on my phonograph and discussing the problems of the youth with Andy Rooney. Here are some more videos that were not given awards by the star of the remake of Teen Wolf, seriously?


Tv Girl is an awesome band from San Diego. They were on some Indie mix before, too lazy to research. They will also be on an upcoming one with this song.


Ring rang a dong holiday!! This song not only samples Cliff Richard's, "Summer Holiday" but Madonna's, "Holiday" as well. With my affinity for holiday music this just became an instant classic.

Cliff Richard's, "Summer Holiday" below. I believe I first heard this song on a Pringle's commercial. I have no idea who Cliff Richard's is or what this movie is, but I have had this song since the days of Napster.



I saw this on Distortion 2 Static the other day and immediately started googling dat ass. The beat, the flow, I was sold. Seriously, that beat...Although he could have used more lines like a ring a dang dong, overall I feel like it's a solid song. Rey Reurreccion and the DJ on the track, Cutso from the Bangerz, both hail from San Jose. You can actually download Rey's album for free from his site. Guaranteed that this cut will be on a hip hop mix though.


Ok Go's video for The Green Album. Featuring the Muppets on the theme song for the Muppet Show. I guess this song had to be done, but it doesn't really stand on it's own as a song you want to listen to. Theme songs that do- Three's Company, Gummi Bears, Blossom, Golden Girls...Snorks.

Muppets: The Green Album

I grew up on, "Muppet Babies."  My favorite was always Gonzo which is coincidentally now my favorite genre of porno...it's not really..I love all genres equally.  Though I may have been born of the Muppet Baby generation that doesn't mean that I was indifferent to the original.  Like a young apprentice I studied my history.  I loved, "The Muppet Movie," "Muppets Take Manhattan" and even "A Muppet Christmas Carol." That's about as far as I go in the Muppet canon, I never followed them to Space, Treasure Island, or on their Norwegian Vacation, one of those may not be real.

I have pretty fond memories of Henson's creations and am actually looking forward to the new Muppet movie written and directed by Jason Segel.  All of that was just to say that NPR is streaming the new Muppets cover album, officially titled, "The Green Album," on their website.  It features some pretty amazing talent, including Weezer, My Morning jacket, and Andrew Bird.  Head on over to NPR and get your nostalgia on.
