The Sugarcubes - Hit

2006-09-21T18:07:00.000-07:00

I remember the first time I saw this video and fell in love with Bjork. I asked my grandmother to buy me the tape and we listened to it on the tape deck in her big cadilac.

I asked her what she thought and she looked at me with a confused smile. "It's cute, I don't know if it's music, but it's cute."

The Becoming "I Cry"

2006-08-21T19:25:00.000-07:00

Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

2006-05-10T07:45:00.000-07:00

The Life Pursuit is not actually on The Life Pursuit; it's a B-side to their latest British single, The Blues are Still Blue. A great song though that I thought everyone might like as much as I did.

The Life Pursuit

Don't Die Cindy

2006-05-08T21:10:00.000-07:00

2006-03-31T13:30:00.000-08:00

Kingblind had a link to this and I am so in love with the Yeah, Yeah Yeahs right now that I had to post it, but I switched over to You Tube because I like them better.

Music you possibly, maybe, will not hear anyplace else is so much cooler than me!

2006-03-29T05:25:00.000-08:00

I caught Neko Case's stellar performance of Hold On, Hold On on a Leno repeat Friday night. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out from You Tube.

Does anyone know who is singing backup for her? Anytime I have seen her it has been Kelly Hogan, but neither of those girls looked like her.

I am being possesd by The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs

2006-03-21T16:19:00.000-08:00

Los Super Elegantes!!!!

2006-03-07T06:23:00.000-08:00

Los Super Elegantes describe themselves as "a unique punk-mariachi-hip-pop group from Los Angeles (via Tijuana and Buenos Aires)."

I could see that, but I would also describe them as some of the hippest mariachi I have heard in a long time.

Check out Sha Lalala

But what you really need to hear is the song from their video - Sixteen

Yeah, Yeah Yeah's - Two tracks from Show Your Bones

Neko Case - Star Witness

2006-02-28T13:11:00.000-08:00

I'm sure every one and their brother already has heard something off of Neko Case's new cd Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, but I can't wait to have the album in hand. Ever since the first notes of Furnace Room Lullaby I have been in love.

Take a listen to:

The Raconteurs are Here

2006-02-06T06:59:00.000-08:00

Jack White and Brendan Benson's new band The Raconteurs launched their site today and I have to say the songs are great. The official story goes that White and Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. This song was "Steady, As She Goes" and the inspiration led to the creation of a full band with the addition of Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler.

Check out their cool Website and hear two songs HERE
