I’ve liked those French dance scamps since I first heard the sexy, growling beat of ‘Genesis’ on a TV ad. It took a while to find who did that smokin’ groove, because I rarely connect the music to the product, ubiquitous silliness like the freecreditreport.com ads aside (that’s French-Canadian Eric Violette, just for the record).

Their name sounds like a video game or a metal band, but they’re more indie pop with a bit of folk and electro thrown in. There’s not much electro in the songs on their myspace page, but that’s a good reason to go see them live, as the keyboards were stronger in the mix.

Idolator‘s been snarky, which is cool, but when I check my iTunes library, here’s my top 5 of the year so far:
1. Vampire Weekend Yes, a lot of hipster fuckwits latched onto them, and posers think they’re now wise to world music, but it’s a consistently well-written album and I’ve played the crap out [...]
Far out. NYC just got pwned:
Rick Astley, you are made of awesome and win.
Man is this six kinds of win.
You hit Eastern Europe With a broken heart And when you came back the town was gone Now every little step that you take feels wrong And I’m here acting chicken
Remember Kissing, making love In the rolling Black Sea Underwater Slipping your tongue Through my teeth [...]
Yeah, it’s official: anything you can think of, you can find on YouTube. Ancient commercial about obscure action figures? Check. People getting punched in the face in slow motion? Check. Guy who found a super cute video of a hamster eating a piece of popcorn on a piano keyboard and decided to make a goofy [...]
I guess it’s been over a year since I did this. Luckily, there are a few new things to put up. If I’d been stuck in the same stuff for twelve months, that’d be a little pathetic, no?
MUSIC
I finally dumped eMusic and went back to CDs and sharing with friends. The hot stuff [...]
Well, I don’t feel too old just yet. Spencer Elden, whose penis we’ve all seen, is still underage. And he’s milking his tiny sliver of fame for all its worth, every chance he gets. Nice work, kid, even as a self-serving coattail rider, you’re still way more appealing than Courtney Love.
And, since we’ve [...]
I probably disagree with him more than I agree, certainly politically. But he’s charming, he’s forthright, he’s loaded with integrity, and he says what he thinks, no bullshit (that’s a joke, son).
