Frak It Friday: Elsinore's YES YES YES clip on So You Think You Can Dance

News from the Elsinore Twitter Account! And, may I say, its a very appropriate chorus for a competitive reality show.

Frak It Friday: Bright Eyes - "Shell Games"

Lyrics:

Took the fireworks and the vanity

The circuitboard and the city streets

Shooting star, swaying palm tree

Layed it at the arbiters feet

If I could change my mind, change the paradigm

Prepare myself for another life

Forgive myself for the many times 

I was cruel to something helpless and weak

But here it come, that heavy love

I'm never gonna move it alone

Here it come, that heavy love

Tag it on a tenement wall

Here it come that heavy love, someone gotta share in the load

Oh, here it come that heavy love, I'm never gonna move it alone

I was dressed in white, touched by something pure

Death obsessed, like a teenager

Sold my tortured youth, pissed in vinegar

I'm still angry with no reason to be

At the architect who imagines

For the every man, blessed sisyphus

Slipping steadily into madness, now that's the only place to be free

But here it come, that heavy love

You're never gonna move it alone

Here it come, that heavy love

Tattooed on a criminals arm

Here it come that heavy love, someone gotta share in the load

Oh, here it come, that heavy love, you're never gonna move it alone

No I don't wanna play, it's a shell game

It's a shell game

Distorted sounds on a oscilloscopes 

Distorted facts I could never cope

My private life is an inside joke

No one will explain it to me

We'll be everything that we ever need

Everyone on the count of three

Everyone on the count of three

All together now

Here it come that heavy love

We're never gonna move it alone

Here it come that heavy love, playin as a cylinder rose

Here it come that heavy love, I only want to share in the load

Oh it here it come that heavy love

I'm never gonna move it alone

Frak it Friday: Elsinore - "Wooden Houses"

First alerted to this by tinymixtapes who called Elsinore "orchestral pop wizards."

What a great video to go with such a great song!

Frak it Friday: Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You"

 

So this is less explicit that that "Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury" but no less awesome.

Frak it Friday: Last Month I Read Ten Books!

[This means I've been keeping at least one of my New Years Resolutions!]

Frak It Friday - "RE: Your Letter" by We Landed On The Moon

This week has been teetering on awful, but I credit yesterday with being somewhat okay because I discovered "RE: Your Letter" and then played in 60 times.

Other We Landed On The Moon! music.

Frak it Friday - "Giving Up The Gun" by Vampire Weekend

Okay, I love Jake Gyllenhaal cameos and would really like a pair of red tights now, but seriously, Vampire Weekend, tennis? Some don't care for your music because you are oh-so rich and they think it shows up in your music.... and you go ahead and make rich person sport tennis part of your music video?

From the St. Petersburg Times about Vampire Weekend's first album:

At first listen, the boys in Vampire Weekend — four pasty Columbia U. sharps who dub their brainy brand of art-pop "Upper West Side Soweto" — come off like rich-boy villains in a John Hughes movie. They indulge in the well-read lyricism of privilege; they date soapy-smelling heiresses schooled at Middlebury.

I'm just saying. Don't become a stereotype.

Frak it Friday: Yeah Yeah Yeahs -- Turn Into

Every now and then, I catch myself having this thought: "Every day, I move farther and farther away from the possibility of becoming Karen O."

A sobering though indeed.

Frak It Friday - "Across The Sun" by We Landed On The Moon!

The show (with Elsinore) last night was pretty awesome. The Tea Bazaar was such a great little place that I'd love to pick up and move to DC, preferably down the block from my apartment.

I think I'd seen We Landed On The Moon at some point, but for some reason this time they really stuck out. They were also selling their album on flash drive and it includes the music video above as well as the album art. Its good to know the future is here and some bands accept that the only format of the song I need is the one that goes onto my iPod.

[And now, after fourish hours of sleep, I shall go to work. Totally worth it.]

Frak it Friday: Lost -- Meet Avatar

Hilarity from Slashfilm.

Frak it Friday: Of Montreal Edition

I saw Of Montreal in concert for the first time since March 2006. This clip is from their New York show a couple of days ago (feat Solange Knowles!) and they played this song last night.

The highly exciteable people beside me were positive that Susan Sarandon would be there, spanking pigs like she did a couple of days ago, but no dice.

[New album out in September!]

Frak it Friday: "Chemicals" by Elsinore

Oh man, so I miss Champaign-Urbana so much that I shouted when the Blind Pig showed up in this.

And I'm seeing them soon! Its a bit of a trek but I definitely can't wait.

Frak it Friday: Kiss With A Fist

Dan's new fave song, I think

Frak it Friday: Cat Explains Healthcare

see more Political Pictures

Frak it Friday: Apologies to Arcade Fire

Dear Arcade Fire,

I forgot that Antichrist Television Blues was my favorite song until it came up on shuffle yesterday morning.

Forgive me?

Love,
Celia

Frak it Friday: MoveOn.org Takes Advantage of Shark Week

Its kind of cute.

(From here.)

Frak it Friday: The Thermals - Now We Can See

New favorite song! And for a "lets just sit around and play music" video, its kinda cute.

Frak it Friday: Hey, Paul Krugman

I've known about this (via Dan) for awhile now but didn't put it on the blog...but I've referenced it a zillion times in conversation. Its cute and catchy.

Frak it Friday: Picture of the thing I want

This is the first "twilight fan gear" I've succumbed to. Its beautiful live and in person.

Frak it Friday: Where The Wild Things are

If you've already seen it, allow yourself to watch it again.
