Two Door Cinema Club - Costume Party



These guys just crank out the jams. I might as well just post the whole album at once. But that would be too easy. That's all I got. Just listen and smile.

Freelance Whales - Hannah (Bonus Post)


Freelance Whales have made an appearance here before. But it's been a while. I like this song. It's interesting to listen to. They've got that whoke fast talk/jam as many words into a verse as possible thing going on, yet somehow, it manages to sound pretty good. That's a first. I also respect the Now N Later reference. They definitely have a little Postal Service sound to them, but still good nonetheless. Nice and chipper for your Thursday evening. Enjoy.

Freelance Whales - Great Estates

A completely different tune. But equally as satisfying. Strangely powerful and haunting. I love the banjo in there. I love the organs, they provide some epicity. I know that's not a real word, but it should be. It's an epic song that should not be taken lightly. It's not new, but it's good, and i wanted to post it. So, there's that.

These Guys Are Funny - Harvard Sailing Team


It's a full moon, and I'm feeling saucy. So today I present you with a most definitely first. We have posted music, film, modern art and photography. But never have we presented you with sketch comedy. Well, that all changes today. The dawn of a new era in the most definitely empire.

So, Harvard Sailing Team is a sketch comedy group that is on the up and up. The group was founded by Chris Smith and Billy Scafuri, both Rockville Center natives. (also known as Roughneck Center). And they're pretty funny. And in a shocking twist of irony none of them went to Harvard or know how to sail. Wild.

Explosions in The Sky - Your Hand in Mine


OK. This is not a cry for help. This is just a beautiful song. There's no two ways about it. It's a totally different direction than we're accustomed to here at the most definitely, but sometimes, a song can transcend classification and genre. It's just sweet angelic musings of some guys from Texas. It is a song that makes you reflect on things. A song best listened to while riding a bus across the US in the middle of nowhere. That's what I'm conjuring up at least. I may have a skewed view since it did make its way onto Friday Night Lights. Which, by the way, will make you cry every episode. Even if you are a grown ass man. Just listen.

Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix)


Another stellar rendition from Two Door Cinema Club. Who knew the little guys from the Motherland would be so readily remixable? I really dig the bass line here. The Twelves are legit too. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, they know how to get down. They seem to be popping up more and more these days and I'm OK with that. Just a very tasteful and well done remix. Check it out, won't you?

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel (Soulwax Club Mix)


It's a few years aold. But I stumbled upon this going through the archives and thought that this was completely worth posting. Amazing job by the boys over at Soulwax. They can get things going. I was at a warm up party at PS1 a while back and Rub N Tug dropped Adam Freedland's remix of The Doors' "Hello". Face Melt. Anyways, this track reminds me of that time. Rebel Rebel is one of my favorite Bowie tunes and they absolutely add to the track. Enjoy a little throwback. Listen through.
