Weekend Videos: The Very Best and Vampire Weekend.

January 16th, 2010

I like The Very Best. I like them because their music is infectiously happy and it helps me through the frigid New York winters (waaaahhh I hate you LA). Here’s Very Best’s frontman Esau Mwamwaya with Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend doing “Warm Heart of Africa” and it looks like the two of them are having a blast poppin and lockin around the streets of NYC (is that canal street?). I smell a buddy-cop comedy in their future.

Solange Knowles – Stillness Is The Move

Wow. Check out Beyonce’s kid sister, Solange Knowles, flexing her golden pipes to the Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move”… she kills it. On top of Dre’s “XXplosive” beat no less. Damn this family has some genes. I know next to nothing about Solange but I feel bad for her…standing in the shadow of BEYONCE. The shadow of her ass alone is enough to keep you in the dark forever. Throw in the fact that she’s one of the biggest stars on the planet and one half of the biggest power couple on the planet (B and Jay are Hollywood’s top earning couple according to ABC news)…  those are some big shoes to fill.

EDIT:
revoking “I feel bad for her” …she’s a multi-millionaire dimepiece what the fuck was a thinking?

TONIGHT: Jookabox enjoys some delicious pastries at the Cake Shop in New York

November 10th, 2009

man, i want some cake! tonight Asthmatic Kitty Records indentured servants Jookabox are playing the Cake Shop in NY. the show is cheap as fuck at only $7, but mostly i’m posting about it because i really, REALLY miss Halloween, and this rad video is very Halloween-esque (that’s a fancy, big time-y way of saying “like”), and you all know how much i like to relive my youth (aka stay stuck in the past). you can’t get tickets in advance, which is the weirdest thing ever in the digital age, and that earns this show jesus satan’s hipster swine gold seal of disapproval.
