Forever the Sickest Kids - My Worst Nightmare

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands right now. Yeah, I know. I have the musical tastes of a 13 year old girl, I've resigned myself to that--no need to mention it to me in the comments ;) Underdog Alma Mater is all around an awesome album. If you like this song at all, you'll like the whole album.

Weezer video for Pork and Beans

The guys in Weezer (including Cuomo's amazing 'stache) has put together a great video for their new single, Pork & Beans, using a mixture of mimicked and real people who starred in popular internet memes. Watch it, you'll find it extremely funny ;)

Utah Saints - Something Good

Awesome video, watch it here or click through if you can't see it:

Adrian Holovaty's Radiohead remix

Quite good if I do say so myself, Adrian explains: Radiohead is holding a "contest" called Radiohead Remix, in which they're inviting fans to remix the song called "Nude" from their latest album. They've released the raw tracks -- separate, isolated audio clips of vocals, guitar, percussion, etc. -- and are encouraging people to remix the tracks to create something different, then upload it to radioheadremix.com... I listened to a bunch of the submitted remixes on Wednesday and was kind of disappointed that none of the ones I listened to did anything interesting musically. Most of them retained the same ...

Totally weird video for Justice's Phantom II

Herschell at Club 720

Jacqui and I went to Club 720 last night to see Herschell and listen to him play his trumpet while some DJ's laid down some music. Pics from Herschell: We had a really fun time! I hear Herschell is hanging out at our apartment right now, I need to get done with work crap and get outta here!

Matt Roan at Dark Room and Hot Doggs at Underdogg

Me and Jacqui went to Dark Room (Yelp] last night in Ukranian Village to meet up with a new friend of ours. Nilay Patel is a writer for Engadget and lives in Chicago. He invited us to Dark Room last night to watch Matt Roan lay down some awesome music. View Larger Map It was one of those nights out when you're supremely happy even though you're cold and trying to grab a taxi. We attempted to um... convince the guys at the 24 hour McDonald's to sell us some double cheeseburgers, but they weren't having it because it's drive-thru ...

I want to be like Daft Punk when I grow up

Embedded version of the DVNO video

Justice DVNO music video

An awesome homage to the super cool movie/television graphics of the 1980's, plus you get to listen to Justice's super tasty track, DVNO: Yeah. I just rocked your world.

Kanye West at the Grammies

Kanye is so cool! I want his jacket and wait til the end when Daft Punk appears. They're totally tronned out. Awesome.

Panda Riot

Like shoe-gazey (i.e. My Bloody Valentine, Mew, et cetera) music? Check out Chicago's Panda Riot--Jacqui's brother Justin is the bassist! They were recently profiled in UR Chicago: But that's not to say they don't have a unique sound that's decidedly all their own. Since their accidental formation in 2005 -- Cook and vocalist/keyboardist Rebecca Scott teamed to make a soundtrack for a short film they were making, and bassist Justin Cheng joined them in August 2007 -- Panda Riot have developed an ambient version of electronic-tinged shoegaze. Built around the structural backbone of their jokingly proclaimed fourth member, a drum ...
