They Might Be Giants, Ana Ng (live on Conan, 1/26/12)

Dudes have been making music for 30 years! I was just telling someone last night how much I like their kids albums. But it doesn’t get much better than Ana, does it?

Sleigh Bells, Comeback Kid

Best use of a badass lady in a badass jacket since this.

Official video via Stereogum. Both the song and the video are like a pleasant, sugary punch in the face by a suburban kid — and that’s a good thing.

Spiritualized, Hey Jane (live)

Hell yeah.

summertimeinhell:

Spiritualized can do no wrong.

Spiritualized
“Hey Jane”
Live on Other Voices, 2011

Have you heard this song yet? It’s going to be on the new Spiritualized album coming out in the spring, and it’s easily one of my favorite songs of 2012 so far. This live version only scratches the surface of where it goes on the studio recording. Also: Is it kinda weird that Jason Pierce has not really aged in 20 years? What’s that about?

Wilco, Dawned On Me

Ok, so how long before I can buy myself some Wilco Brand spinach?

twentyfourbit:

It’s been three decades since the last appearance of Popeye in a hand-drawn form, but today the iconic spinach-loving Sailor Man returns along with Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Wimpy, Bluto, and… Wilco. Watch above as director Darren Romanelli and King Features bring the classic cartoon back to life, just in time for Jeff Tweedy to settle Bluto and Popeye’s near-century-long rivalry for the love of Olive Oyl, once and for all.

Hospitality, Friends of Friends 

What a cute little diddy.

poptarts:

If the radness of your music video is determined by the amount of comedians playing roles in it this would be a top 10 video! Even if that’s not the rationale for rating music videos (a. it should be) it is still a pretty dope video regardless. Enjoy!

Pogo - Jaaam (The Fresh Prince Remix)

Pogo’s so good.

Pussy Wizard, I Can’t Tell You Why (Eagles cover)

When I was young, I thought that the best band in the world debate was between the Beatles and the Eagles. (My dad wasn’t into the Stones, but damn, did he love some sweet California harmonies.)

Gotye, Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra)

Can’t stop listening….

FAVORITE VIDEOS OF ALL TIME #42.

When the video first came out in 2005, I thought this was a beautifully shot video. Now that I’m a little older, I still think this beautiful video — but my god, the subtle sexual undertones (or maybe I’m reading into things too much). Anyway, it makes me love the video more.

I watched this video over and over when it came out. I think I saw it first on MTV’s Subterranean (miss that show!), and yeah, it’s got sexual undertones out the wahzoo. Not to be crass, but it can’t be a coincidence that the director focused so much on Sherri DuPree’s rather close treatment of the microphone.
