88nine's SoundBoard.

Here's another one of my posts for 88nine's Soundboard. I talk about Best Coast and her awesomeness.

Dr. Dog has the blues.

Philly folk blues rockers Dr. Dog talk about their album , particularly the song "I only wear blue."
(Which happens to be my favorite song.)
Lead man Scott "Taxi" McMicken glasses definitely fit his personality.

sue me.

So I cheated on my blog...with Radio Milwaukee.

paper mache is back.

So the talented Kid Cudi, Best Coast's lo-fi lady Bethany Cosentino and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij collaborated in a big way to show the world they love Converse. The song is called "All Summer." It makes you just want to go eat a bowl of cereal and then maybe do some vacuuming.

She&Him transcend time again.

Zooey Deschanel and M. ward have decided to transcend time yet again. In their new video "Thieves" you can hardly tell what era they're in. Partially because they are kids throughout the video too, disguising their age to keep the mystery alive. Honestly that is my favorite part of She&Him - the ambiguity. This video encompasses them as artists, as critics continually try to peg their indie genre and continually fail. Congratulations She&Him, you're still timeless.

"Boyfriend"

Some vimeo user by the moniker of "Theo Anthony" made this brilliant video
along to Best Coast's "Boyfriend." It made my day so hopefully it makes yours.

Here's the track list:
1. Steve Martin & Bernadette Peters “Tonight You Belong To Me“
2. Xavier Cugat “Perfidia (Instrumental)“
3. The Avalanches “Since I Left You“
4. The Radio Dept “Where Damage Isn’t Already Done“
5. The Walkmen “There Goes My Baby (The Drifters Cover)“
6. Bibio “Lovers’ Carvings“
7. The Morning Benders “Have One On Me (Joanna Newsom / J Dilla Cover)“
8. Twin Sister “Lady Daydream (Cassette Version)“
9. Arthur Russell “Lucky Cloud“
10. Blur “Caravan“
11. Smokey Robinson and The Miracles “Ooo Baby Baby”
I think it pretty much speaks for itself. Screams for itself.
