I love Aussies. I love monkeys. And this chick is like a mix of Scarlett Johanssen and Jessica Alba. All of these things are code for: WIN.
Gayngs - Gaudy Side of Town
I heard this song in the car on the drive back from wine tasting in Solvang this weekend (which inevitably turned out more like a Vegas trip, but that’s another story). It was raining, we were driving through mountain clouds over cliffs with wineries on one side and the ocean on the other. And there was a DOUBLE RAINBOW to boot. Quite friggin’ amazing, to be honest. This turned out to be part of the ultimate rainy day roadtrip soundtrack.
If there aren’t ironic hipster babies being made to this song all over the world (or at least Brooklyn, Silverlake and maybe Portland…) well then, something is just wrong with the world.
The story behind this band is just too much for my brain to handle at the moment, but Time to Play B Sides does a pretty good job of explaining it. But a hint that Bon Iver is involved makes the whole baby making thing not as surprising. Anyway, listen on and feel free to get romantic with yourself.

I like me some noise pop just like the rest of ‘em. But apparently if you take one ex-girl bander and pair her up an ex-hardcore bander and have them meet in a cafe and they decide to make sweet, sweet, distorted music, the end result is something involving cheerleaders and baseball bats and guitars on fire.
I’ve been into Sleigh Bells for a bit, but I suppose the following eluded me until now.
Long story short, there is so much hotness in this video I can hardly contain myself. In fact, I’m going need a moment alone, so how about you just click play and enjoy the next three minutes or so and um… we’ll talk more later.
I’m feeling crunchy today. So from the granola gardens of the Northwest, today’s #nowplaying is The Cave Singers. They’re like if Richard Ashcroft mated with a lumberjack. Believe me, that’s a good thing.

Officially dead and in Heaven. This confirms it.

Dear Sam,
Please consider going straight and marrying me.
Or maybe we can just go get a sandwich one day?
Hearts,

In honor of Rainpocalypse 2010.
This video is a total tease. Mainly because despite the rain over Mr. Hawthorne, there’s SUNSHINE everywhere else. I forgot what sunshine feels like.
Oh, and also because they’re chillin’ in front of Larchmont Wine & Cheese.
Best. Sammiches. Ever.
On repeat. HARDCORE.
Although I’m not sure why this song is called “Miami” when the license plate on the car is obviously from California. Then again, this could just as easily be Venice, CA. But then again (again) the song is called MIAMI. I’m confused.
But still, this song is the bees knees.
Aeroplane vs Friendly Fires vs Flight Facilities - I Crave Paris by future classic
“Why can’t you love me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you…”
I suppose I’m all about sexy mashups this week. This one’s plain and simple: take my favorite Friendly Fires song, add an even sexier female vocal to it and voila - I’m listening to it over… and over… and over.
