Fresh Biscuit: Passion Pit

This band, Passion Pit, has been totally rocking the blogocircle or whatever you call it lately. Their brand of uptempo-electro-pop would be just what I need to start the day if I had a job, but is still pretty good anyway. Check these songs/video out, get 'Manners' May 19th.

'The Reeling'

'Sleepyhead' (from last year)

Clell Tickle: Marketing Guru

So this videos a little old, and Tapes 'n Tapes has since pretty much crashed and burned. Aziz Ansari is huge now though, and I love Pitchfork media. Go read it.

Visit Sunny Phoenix

Some people call Phoenix a soft-rock version of the Strokes, I say their soft strokes rock my heart. This band from France makes me remember the days of high school and wish I hadn't been an AV geek. Sigh. ANYWAY...they have a new album coming out called 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix,' which is named after some guy. Here are the two official pre-album releases. Sigh. Oh, and a performance from SNL.

'1901'

'Lisztomania'

Fresh Biscuit: Nadja

Mind blown!!! A metal band from Toronto managed to match the awesomeness of My Bloody Valentines 'Only Shallow.' Seems impossible. From the opening four drum hits on the MBV version, I knew I was in love with the album 'Loveless,' which is well known as a Holy Grail/unbeatable/possibly written by God himself album. Nadja pretty much just slowed it way down. Enjoy this sea of noisy splendor.

'Only Shallow'

Heres the MBV version:

My Bloody Valentine - New Music - More Music Videos

OMG NMM!

For those of you less tech-savvy, that means OH MY GOD, NEW MODEST MOUSE! This song just started streaming at their Myspace, so go check it out. Or, as I learned from the website You Ain't No Picasso, this site will allow you to put it on your iPods and such. The song is called 'Satellite Skin', and gosh, people need to be easier on Isaac Brock or he'll keep doing this.

I'll trade my snack pack for your album....

This is interesting...an artist named Joel P. West started the 'Dust Jacket Project.' What he did was set up a website where he will give you his album straight up if you trade him something of yours. It can literally be anything you make, including paintings, photography, poetry, or...a few words. You can view all the submissions, and someone traded the three words 'Salt Water Wound.' So if you were thinking of trading that, its taken already. Oh, the first song on the album is below.

'28th and NE Davis'

UPDATE: Joel accepted your eatdogeat blogger's painting, 'patches,' so look for that up there in the next few weeks. AND, it turns out 'Salt Water Wound' is a song, so I totally take back making fun of it.

Wilco Central

Well, might as well go change the name from eatdogeat to Wilco central. Their new album, Wilco (the Album) is streaming here for your listening pleasure. 

Stale Biscuit: Serge Gainsbourg

Oh Serge, you dirty, dirty old man. I'm not French, so I am not sure what this song is about, but I can guess that it is something sexual. This song, 'En Melody' comes from his recently re-released album 'Histoire De Melody Nelson,' so you know, check it out or whatever. 70's France looks really nice!

And this is his infamous line to Whitney Houston (skip to about 1:40 and look at her face).

Serge Gainsbourg and Whitney Houston

Fresh Biscuit: Ponytail

So this band Ponytail is master of the 7 minute freakout. I haven't listened to them much, but after this I am going to start. This song 'Celebrate the Body Electric (it Came from an Angel) is like a manic-depressive-manic episode, and the video is better. My favorite part is with the lights where they go smashy-unsmash, smashy-unsmash. They are Ponytail, check them out.

'Celebrate the Body Electric (it Came from an Angel)'

Fresh Turd: The Streets

Man was the turn-around on this quick. The Streets, who often produce music I hate have Twittered a song about a subject which pisses me off. Woo hoo, Fresh Turd material! I think if we ignore this flu it will go away, I only hope the same is true for The Streets. Okay, the video is cool because I like zombies.
