The Grammys :: Recap, my way

01Feb10

I’m not going to go into great detail about The Grammys because overall it was bad. I will say that Gaga and Elton John’s opening performance was awesome, the Michael Jackson tribute was incredible minus the fact that I didn’t have 3D glasses because I was unaware that that was happening and Beyonce is fierce.

The undeserving Taylor Swift won Album of the Year. The End.

Best performance: Drizzy Drake, Weezy F. Baby, Eminem with Travis Barker. Watch it. They also win the award for longest bleeped out performance. Oh and Quentin Tarantino introduced them, making it even more epic.

New Favorite Band :: Surfer Blood

29Jan10

I highly, highly recommend Surfer Blood’s debut album Astro Coast. It’s out now on Kanine.
Pitchfork gave it an 8.2 and claimed Surfer Blood as being best new music.

Astro Coast contains the fantastic single, “Swim”. Take a minute or 3:21 and listen. This is only video I could find with a working embed code that contained the entire song. The actual video for “Swim” can be found on both Pitchfork and Kanine’s main page. You should definitely watch it.

And for all my ATLeins, Surfer Blood is playing a live in-store show at Criminal Records in Little 5 Points. The event is all ages, FREE and at 7 pm on Friday, Feb. 19. They will also be at the Drunken Unicorn later the same night.

You can follow them on Twitter and be their fan on Facebook. Hooray!

Coachella 2k10 :: Awesome

20Jan10

I should be sleeping, but I feel like this is worth staying up to mention. Coachella is going to be awesome.

If you live or have the means to get to California, you need to. This year’s festival is going to be worth the $269 3-day pass, $3 0f which goes to charity. If I wasn’t a poor student, I would totally try and go.

It’s happening April 16, 17 and 18. Tickets go on sale at 10 A.M. January 22.

Check out the flyer, follow this link and start drooling now..

And you can connect with Coachella on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter!

Okay, now drool..

From [adult swim] ATL RMX :: check it

03Jan10

If you haven’t listened to and/or downloaded yet, you need to. Like now.
It features some of the coolest remixes from Atlanta’s rappers. I am particularly fond of the Memory Tapes remix of Dem Getaway Boyz – Imma G, but the whole thing is pretty spectaular if you ask me. And its from [adult swim], which just screams awesomeness. Take a listen to my favorite track and then follow the link to listen to the other remixes and downloads.
