The Letter G

Gauntlet Hair hail from Denver. They're music creates sprawling landscapes of tripped out, reverb heavy, electro chill. It's nothing too ground breaking but it is weird, has a nice vibe and a nice edition to any mix. If that doesn't make sense to you then let me put it this way, if you are a fan of Animal Collective you'll be into this.

Here is a very different version of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. It's not the bopin' version you are used to, this one goes down a much darker path. I would recommend that you check out not only the rest of Gnarls Barkleys live sessions but all of the other From The Basement sessions from artists like My morning Jacket and Radiohead.

Do you like your music to be fun? I know I do! So does the band The Go! Team. If you can't already tell by the name of the band, this band is all about making stadium anthem songs to get you pumped up. They blend elements of hip hop and rock perfectly into a super charged ball of energy, and then hurdle it at you. They are great for those, like me, who have trouble getting motivated. Check out their new album Rolling Blackouts for more great music.

It's Sunday, it's sunny, and I'm feeling good despite the fact that I am looking at a really crappy up coming week filled with mandatory overtime. Sometimes you just need music with a positive message.

I am a HUGE fan of a show called Trailer Park Boys. This morning I watched a short documentary about how it all came together and how it was produced. It was pretty interesting. I also watched an episode that they recently created that was supposed to be an ending to the series but the thing is, they already closed it out with what I thought was a nice ending to the series. The first ending left them in a good place, but this new ending episode did not. It did however leave the series open in a way that if they wanted to they could continue the story line. However judging by the so called finale, I don't know if they should. It didn't really impress me and it felt very forced. Sometimes it's better to just let sleeping dogs lie. P.S. The only thing this show and this song have in common is The Great White North, Canada.
