It totally HAD to be this way. Though, sadly it’s not nearly as good as the Oxford Comma video, imo. (via)

M83 - Kim & Jessie
Rollerskating! I really want to be cynical about m83 and the whole John Hughes thing, but I just can’t. I know I’m being mentally raped but I just don’t mind all that much. (thanks to the slut)

Wow. This is really good. I saw a flicker of this in my reader this morning, but I’m just now getting to it. Gnarls Barkley’s were amazing on SNL a few months back, but for some reason there’s no footage of it on YouTube. Anyway, adding to their live pedigree, this is their cover of [...]

This was left as a comment on a previous post about Saul Williams selling out. The video is crap, but it is interesting to hear him try and justify his selling out to Nike after being so outspoken against corporations, child labor, etc.

Sweden’s eclectic Detektivbyrån are (FINALLY!) set to release their debut LP, Wermland, on September 3rd. I can’t express how excited I am about this release. (via and via)

How odd. I really wanted to hate this, but how can you hate on SS? That’s just wrong. I wonder what Hipster Runoff would have to say about this. (swiped from About Today)

The poor oxford comma gets the shaft at my place of employ and it makes me sad. The long take is the Oxford comma of the film vernacular.

I wasn’t too keen on A Weekend in the City, and from the sound of Bloc Party’s new single “Mercury”, streaming on the band’s official site, I’m not really itching to keep listening this time around either. I’m all for bands shifting and branching out and evolving, but Bloc Party seems to have lost the [...]

YouTube finally has some more Unrest(!), including this video for the band’s single “Make Out Club” off its 1993 record Perfect Teeth. I still have my Perfect Teeth promotional toothbrush and slightly less appropriate Perfect Teeth plastic hair comb like the kind you got on picture day in the fourth grade. This is probably an [...]

This is completely awesome. Taking cues from Robert Palmer’s notoriously expressionless mannequins (and, perhaps, the “prize-winning” lamp from A Christmas Story), Chromeo does the late Palmer one up by foregoing expressions altogether, as a dozen pair of illuminated legs dance subtly in the background. While Chromeo unleashes its nerdy white boy synth funk, these torso-less [...]

Duran Duran keyboardist, Nick Rhodes, recently told the Daily Mirror that his band would love a crack at the new James Bond theme for Quantum of Solace with producer Mark Ronson in tow. This would follow the band’s previous number one James Bond theme by 23 years. And Rhodes believes with Ronson’s help, “we may [...]

Two-thirds of the core of Siouxsie and The Banshees performing the jaunty, jazzy “Right Now” off The Wild Things EP on Tops of the Pops as The Creatures in 1983. Sioux is all dolled up, if a little bored by the staid atmosphere of TOTP. This EP is well worth tracking down, but for the [...]
