New Spoon track leaks, "The Mystery Zone"

2009-11-04T15:44:00.008-05:00

A new Spoon track has leaked on the net today. We are huge Spoon fans
here at BiB, and headed over to the Hype Machine to check out the new track, "The Mystery Zone". A bit of a let down really. "The Mystery Zone" has a very boring
beat throughout, with Britt repeating the lines "the mystery zone" over
and over.
When Pitchfork announced the new Spoon album late last week, we
were very excited to hear the new album. After just a few listens the first
track somewhat dampens that excitement.

Hopefully this song is NOT the new single off the album.

Come on Britt, you can do better than this.

Twilight: New Moon [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

2009-10-29T20:50:00.009-04:00

The New Moon Soundtrack is out now, and well worth picking up.

It tickles me pink that 12 year old paris hilton clones are going
to be flicking their nubs to this music. Kudos to the twilight people
for going relatively indie on this soundtrack. Our young generation
desperately needs a jolt.

Hurricane Bells - "Monsters" MP3
Muse - "I Belong To You (New Moon Remix)" MP3

The Temper Trap live on Jimmy Kimmel

2009-10-23T16:29:00.007-04:00

Watched the Temper Trap last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Does the singer remind anyone
of the guy from Fine Young Cannibals?

The Temper Trap - "Sweet Disposition" MP3

The Beatles Remasters

2009-10-21T21:43:00.010-04:00

They are here, they are queer, and I am definitely trying to
get used to them. Ok, I'm in love with them. Kind of.

The real new Bealtes Remasters listening experience for me is listening to the new
mono version of the White Album. There are vocals that were not audible
before. You here new rhythm instruments that were buried deep in the stereo versions.
Really, this is what you were hoping for when they announced the Bealtes
remasters. I am still listening to everything, and hopefully will find
more exciting moments as I continue.

Mojo Magazine just released a cd full of Beatles covers worth checking out.
Here are two tracks from that cd.

Cornershop - "Mean Mr. Mustard / Polythene Pam" MP3

Blue Roses - "Golden Slumbers" MP3

Bat for Lashes Two Plus Two Landscapes

Jaydiohead - Out now on Vinyl

2009-10-19T18:10:00.009-04:00

Just got back from the record store, and picked up Jaydiohead's very good mash up of

Radiohead and Jay Z. It's been out a while now, and if you haven't already pick up

this album on vinyl.

Jaydiohead - "Change Order" MP3

Head over to Jaydiohead.com for more music and information.

Where the Wild Things Are

2009-10-15T14:09:00.008-04:00

...don't you just want to give him a big hug?

The movie comes out this Friday, and the soundtrack is definitely worth picking up on LP.

Karen O and the Kids - "All is Love" MP3
from Where the Wild Things Are (Motion Picture Soundtrack)

New England Patriots and Denver Broncos go Retro

2009-10-12T20:28:00.008-04:00

Last night two of the NFL top teams went retro. The reaction was fierce and immediate, and mostly negative. I would like to throw my 2 cents onto the field.
I loved the jerseys. The Patriots old jersey reminded me of my youth,
and looked good on the current team. The Broncos brown high school look
was great imo, even though Yahoo.com called it an abomination.

LCD Soundsystem - "North American Scum" MP3

When we get to Heaven mix

2009-10-07T02:12:00.010-04:00

Babies in the Hood

2009-10-06T15:00:00.003-04:00

If you have children...

You have to check out Babies in the hood.

http://www.babiesinthehood.com/

"Ok, so what's up with Babies In The Hood? Well, we think that hoods are the thing. Since hoods are part of the garment they can't get lost or left behind (unless your little one loves to be the nude-nic of the nation and can strip off their clothes then run around naked, in which case covering their head will probably be the least of your concerns). Hoods are also handy for a quick cover-up because they are right there plus great ear protection. Ever been out longer than you planned then it gets either too hot or too cold and you were not prepared? That's why we bring you fun, fashionable, affordable quality clothes with hoods and other items that were too cool to pass up! "

Play me 3 songs to fall in love with you...

2009-10-06T01:35:00.007-04:00

She stops, put her hand up to your ear, and whispers...

...play me 3 songs to fall in love with you.

What would you play?

Here are mine.

Lake Trout - "Live on KRFC 88.9 Track 01" MP3

Stereolab - "Cosmic Country Noir" MP3
from Margerine Eclipse

Ryan Adams - "La Cienega Just Smiled" MP3
from Gold

If she gets it, she gets you right?

Glenn Beck, you are a fake, and we reject you.

2009-10-02T18:32:00.012-04:00

Glenn Beck - shock showman.

Kudos to all the Christian, Mormon, and sensible people who reject this clown.

As a wise man once said, this guy is a "shock showman". He is not a good representative
or Christ, or Mormonism, or the good republican people out there.

Do you agree with this statement?

"Beck, best known for setting up Clear Channel's pro-war Rallies for America shortly before the Iraq War, once described how much he loathed anti-war presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich (WABC-AM, 3/16/03) "Every night I get down on my knees and pray that Dennis Kucinich will burst into flames."

Is that Christlike? To be PRO-war, and wish death to others?

Reject this guy now!

Bob Marley - "Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)" MP3

Marisa Calihan voted off Survivor Samoa, NO!!!!

Marisa Calihan voted off Survivor Samoa

Well I tuned in a week ago to watch the Premier of Survivor. I fell in love
with Marisa Calihan instantly. She is the prettiest girl I've ever seen on the show.
She seemed to be honest, smart, and kind of new agey. All in all, perfection.
Hahaha.

So what happens?
The evil contestant, Russell Hantz, votes her off in the first week!
No!!!!!!!!

next, from the compilation Slaying Since 1996, we have
Headphones - "Gas and Matches (acoustic)" MP3
Sounds like an alt-rock radio hit had it come a few years earlier. While it wasn't a radio single, it was another under the radar gem from Suicide Squeeze.

Yo La Tengo - "You Can Have It All" MP3
Yo La Tengo under the radar? Under appreciated?
You'd be surprised.

Josh Hamilton is officially off the wagon.

He was praised for going sober 4 years ago, and finding Jesus. Today pictures surface
