Shpanky Shpins
So occasionally I’ve posted articles here sharing what I’ve been listening to. This is what’s been playing on my ipod lately:
The Black Kids - Partie Traumatic
Kind of a mix of rock, disco, and pop. Very fun, and I absolutely L O V E ”I”m not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you”
The Faint - Fasciination
Another electro-rock clearly influenced by bands like OMD, Devo, and other 80s groups. Favorite track is “The Geeks were right.” I love the bleepy bloopy moog-like sounds in each track. GREAT album.
Charlie Haden Family - Rambling Boy
Legendary Jazz bassist Charlie Haden gets the family together to create a fantastic bluegrass/country album. It includes his triplet daughters with indie rock pedigrees from such bands as The Decemberists, that dog, and The Rentals. Jack Black is his son-in-law and performs on the album as well. Just really great classic bluegrass sounds and harmonies.
Brazilian Girls - New York City
Electronica with a lead singer who’s fluent in five languages and incorporates them into her songs to great effect. It’s dancey, fun, and very Euro-cool. -

Madonna - Hard Candy (Crap)
How much do I hate thee right now? Let me count the ways…
1) American Life
and…
THIS DRECK:
Madonna, you are NOT hip hop. Would you quit trying? Go back to making dance records with Paul Oakenfold or Sasha and Digweed. That’s your true talent. This…crap…well…I’m going to try to forget I ever listened to it. I’m going to try to forget you ever made this heaping pile of dung, and go back to listening to my Feist album. This…record…and is most definitely a THUMBS DOWN for me. You so disappoint me.
And oh yah, you’re a little old to be wearing that get up (points to the picture above). Leave that to the Britney tramps of the world. You just look like a loose sack of old bones cinched too tightly in a black leather corset. Don’t do that again. What would Lourdes think???

Rock Band Stage Kit
I went shopping for some games yesterday at a nearby Gamestop, when I noticed the following being advertised:
I think Pü might have to make a comeback reunion show! But then I fear of brains simultaneously exploding at the sheer kickass-ness we will dish out at our shows. I don’t think you can handle the Pü…
In other news, I also picked up the new Gran Turismo for PS3, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core (PSP), Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP) and Patapon (PSP). I haven’t had a chance to play anything yet as my PSP battery is dead and I can’t find the adapter. Durnit. I’ll let y’all know what I think when I find it.

Bjork
As some of you may know, I have eclectic tastes in music. One of my old favorites is Bjork…she’s always pushed the boundaries of music and performance in her videos. The new one, Wanderlust, is…well…I just can’t even remotely explain it, but it’s absolutely breathtaking. There are two versions, 2D and 3D. The 2D version can be seen here, or here for a much better quality. The 3D version will be coming out on April 14th.
Check the video out and let me know what you think!

Couple things i’m excited about
#1) Portishead is coming out with a new album. ABOUT TIME! God I hope it’s as good as their last ones, and of course, update their sound to stay relevant. I’m so excited!
2) Michael Stipe outs his band members too!

Get Nash-ty
Kate Nash is the bomb. I’m just loving her new album. Anyone else listening to it? Here’s her myspace if you want to check out a few tracks…She even does a cover of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. Awesome!

common people
I so love the song “Common People” by Pulp…I even loved the cover by William Shatner. I just ran across a remix of that song with the comic Archie and it is absolutely brilliant. Click here to check it out.
