Auto Tunes For Your Life

I was out killing time this weekend and I saw The T-Pain Mic. Supposedly it auto-tunes your voice. I wanted it so bad but it was way to expensive for me warrant a purchase for something I would only use for comedic purposes. Although I might be able to make a song sort of like this.
Muchuu - Adventure We Go


Florence Welch and company (A.K.A. Florence + The Machine) have just released their new album Ceremonials last weekend and from what I have heard so far it is not one to be overlooked. Florence has such a powerful voice that demand attention, and the music to back that sort of vocal talent is unique and highly enjoyable. I will be picking up my copy in the near future and going to see them live as soon as I can. I also can't deny I am a sucker for redheads. Seriously though this is a band to keep an eye on.

Speaking of new albums, Wilco has a new album out as well. I was lucky enough to hear it this weekend and I am impressed with the results. I have to add this one to the buy list as well. I dig the cover art a lot.
Wilco - I Might


I know I have posted a song by these Michigan natives before but a few days ago a girl I know, with awesome taste in music, posted a song from Small Brown Bike that I had completely forgotten about. I have had the CD this song is on in my collection for a long time but I never play the album anymore, due to a small crack in the disc. I pulled it out last night and discovered that the crack does not really affect it's play-ability for this song. Needless to say I was super excited to re-listen to what I could from the album. These guys put on a hell of a good show.
Small Brown Bike - No Place Like You


I found about this artist through one of the many Adult Swim Mixes. You heard that right Adult Swim, as in the TV show on Cartoon Network. I have to admit that they make some damn good mixes. How To Dress Well is an R&B project headed by Tom Krell. The music has a ethereal twist and leans a little to the 90's side of things.

A few weeks ago I had to get rid of my favorite pillow case. I wore that thing out. I kid you not it had so many holes in it that the pillow didn't stay inside. It made me sad. This is my ode to my pilly little buddy. My you rest in peace.

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.
Gauntlet Hair - Keep Time

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.
Grits - My Life Be Like Ooh-Aah

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.
