Rolling Records

Just when you think Jack White can't get any cooler, he goes and invents a rolling records store.
He believes something needs to be changed about the 97% of kids today who have never set foot in a record store.

Scenes from the Suburbs

The new Arcade Fire album, The Suburbs, is obviously not unknown. In fact, it unexpectedly (but completely deservingly) won album of the year this year at the Grammys. The lyrics are so real, and relatable, that it's sometimes hard to fathom that it wasn't written about you're own life.

Spike Jones did a pretty amazing job in my opinion of capturing the feel of the album in the video for the song The Suburbs, which ends up being more than just a simple story about growing up in The Suburbs. According to Pitchfork, the music video is a preview of a 30 minute short entitled Scenes from the Suburbs making it's debut with 4 screenings at the Berlin Film Festival.



Here's the music video for The Suburbs. I have a feeling you might just be as excited for the entire short as I am after watching it.

New Beats//Toro Y Moi//James Blake

So Toro Y Moi has been pretty well known for a little while now. Not only is he extremely stylish and adorable but he is also one of the most beautiful musicians I've ever heard.

He is beyond talented, and his mystical, 80's like beats are very well suited for winter time.
Especially in this video (for the song New Beat) which is semi new. Not only is it an amazing song, but the video itself is absolutely stunning. Take a look



You should also check out this remix of French by Tyler the Creator(member of ofwgkta)


Speaking of adorable talented artists, if you haven't already heard of James Blake you are deeply, deeply deprived.


James Blake creates songs full of soulful melodies, accomponied by his hauntingly beautiful voice. I can thank Colin and Nat for this blessing.
Listen. and listen again. enjoy

Camera Happy

Can we all please just take a moment to admire how fucking adorable these jason schwartzman/ kirsten dunst pictures are.

Angles//Anticipation

So if you weren't already aware the highly anticipated Strokes album, Angles (they're fourth, and hopefully not final album), is only 12 days 20 hours 33 minutes and roughly 23 seconds, away. If you couldn't already tell by the obsessively accurate countdown, I am a huge fan.

The band has been posting some videos recently of them in the studio, and they are pretty darn cute/awesome/perfect. So take a look for yourself.
