This song has been killing me. For some reason I really like depressing music, and, well Elliott Smith was pretty depressed I guess. As is this song. Gets me right here (*hand on heart*)

One - Pmac
A friend showed me this really cool sample of One by Three Dog Night. This guys name is Pmac, he's an aspiring rapper from San Francisco with a really cool flow. And if his song wasn't enough, this video is pretty awesome as well.

Jukebox The Ghost @ The Black Cat tonight
Jukebox the Ghost is an indie/pop/rock band from DC/Philly...maybe they're from Philly but based in DC? Regardless, I saw these guys open for Tally Hall a while back and they were fantastic. They're a lot of fun, really high-energy and tight. Check out some more of their songs on their myspace page and i'll link some songs at the bottom.
They are playing the main stage at the Black Cat tonight. $15 for a ticket. Doors at 9:00. And Wakey Wakey is opening for them. I just got my ticket so yeahhh

Malajube "Montreal -40°C"
This french song makes me feel like im drinking by a pool with my friends during the summer. Don't look up a translation of the lyrics. Word of advice.

Love me some Mal Blum
Mal Blum makes me want to curl up in a blanket and pretend that I live for indie folk music like the rest of the world right now (reference to all Mumford & Sons fans). Here's to belting out San Cristobal lyrics in my apartment alone for the rest of the afternoon. Cheers

Cool Rap
I posted a few Childish Gambino songs earlier on, but here's another jam I've been jamming to lately. It was brought to my attention on facebook when Victor liked a line our friend Max posted, which features a Dragon Ball reference.. so this guy just keeps earning street credit.
"Honestly, I'm rapping bout everything i go through. Everything I'm saying i'm Super Saiyan like Goku" - Childish Gambino- "My Shine"
And while in a bit of a rap mood, I thought I'd let you guys know about this guy George Watsky. He's a San Francisco rapper/spoken word artist, that has been on HBO's Def Poetry and a bunch of other spoken word/slam poetry venues. He attends Emerson and if you like this video, check out the other's on his page.
Ben Harper & Jack Johnson Ft Bob Marley - High Tide or Low Tide
Live performance of Bob Marleys song High Tide or Low Tide, performed by Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Both these guys are favorites of mine, and nothings better than when they get together for these live shows. Not to mention that this is a real good bob song.

Joe Purdy
I don't know why I'd admit to this, but the first time I ever heard this song was on Grey's Anatomy. Whoops. Anyways, it's a good song. Ch-ch-ch-check it out!Wednesday, April 6, 2011
Seu Jorge - Ziggy Stardust
Seu Jorge- Ziggy StardustThis is a cover of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust...personal favorite. Wes Anderson had this guy cover a bunch of Bowie songs for the soundtrack of his film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou And since the movie is about a documentary film crew, Seu Jorge is actually in the film, and plays the guy who does the soundtrack for the movies they make.. making it a kind of russian doll situation.
Anyways, I recommend checking out Seu's other renditions of Bowie songs, as well as checking out the movie.
The Kooks - See The Sun Alternate Version
stumbled onto this the other day, really cool version of this song

Song from "The Jerk"
The Jerk is up there in my favorite comedies of all time. It's one of those perfect movies and I believe it's still on Netflix Instant in case you haven't seen it. This is a cute little scene and song from the movie... i'm mainly posting it for the song, if you haven't seen the movie you might wanna skip the rest of the scene.
"(Life) was never easy for me, I was born a poor black child"- Steve Martin
Faces - Ooh La La
This is the closing, slowmotion song from Wes Anderson's Rushmore. Fantastic film and an awesome song.
"I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger."

Wye Oak and New Gambino
Donald Glover released a new track that samples or maybe reconstructs Kanye's All of the Lights (Break) and as per usual, it's pretty fantastic. Plenty of fantastic jokes. If you haven't heard i'm gonna link a couple other tracks of his that are good to go, in the order they were released.
quick note: the break link is to the mp3 download from Donald's site not a direct download or like the others a streaming jam
As for Wye Oak, they're a duo from baltimore that are really awesome. the drummer is also the bassist via a synthesizer and the front-woman's got a hell of voice. I'm posting "For Prayer" which is off of a previous album and a live performance of "Civilian" which is the title track off their latest album. The album version is a little better, but the live acoustic really does it justice.

gypsy band
So I saw the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story which is an interesting film by Goran Dukic and is a dark romance/fantasy/comedy? Anyways the movie was pretty enjoyable and one of the supporting characters was fantastic and happened to be based off of the lead singer in the band Gogol Bordello which is a crazy cool gypsy band. here's a link to two videos on youtube of songs from them I dig.
