Party Hard, Stay Thirsty

When something is called The Most Interesting Show in the World, naturally you're going to be skeptical. But last night's show at the House of Blues, hosted by rocker-slash-partier Andrew W.K. and presented by, you guessed it, Dos Equis (who brought us The Most Interesting Man in the World), was pretty damn interesting and entertaining. High energy song and dance numbers mixed with, well, lets just call them various carnival acts. Not bad for a free event with free beer!

Black (Keys) Friday

WANT.

Apparently it has something to do with Record Store Day, which I do not understand because Black Friday is not Record Store Day, but whatevs. I also have no idea if it will be available for purchase on the site, or just in record stores like RSD.

Quiet Time

I know, I've been quiet lately. A 2 week illness and a 2 week work project will do that to you. Here's what was missed:

-GORILLAZ. (Tankboy can die happy.)

-I made the executive decision to skip Mizzou Homecoming (which will never happen again) along with an of Montreal show in STL that would have made for one hell of a weekend.

Tonight? Sleigh Bells @ Metro. Let's hope they're as loud as they're meant to be.

Daft Phoenix

After a long, busy day at work, I'm finally getting around to watching the youtube videos of Daft Punk joining Phoenix on stage at their Madison Square Garden show last night. (Fun fact: Phoenix guitarist Laurent Brancowitz was in a band with the Daft Punk guys before they were, ya know, wearing robot helmets and standing in atop a pyramid.)

OMFG is about all there is to say:

Crush Back On

Saw mah favorite band, of Montreal, at the Riv on Saturday. After a disappointing previous album and tour, Kevin Barnes is back. Check out my full review on Gapers Block.

Girl On Film

If you've ever seen Girl Talk live, you know it's a ridiculous, fun, raucous good time. Re-live the dance party through a short documentary of his NYE show at Congress:

"Ain't that some shit!"

We'll call it the song of summer even though it didn't come out til the end...

Here's the video for Cee Lo's "F**k You!", complete with back-up singers.
