music video of the day: "When A Fire Starts To Burn" by Disclosure

May 31, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

When a fire starts to burn, right? And it starts to spread...

This jam though. It's hot right? It's sizzling.

I'm taking it easy tonight but damn does this make me want to go out. Perhaps instead I'll just play their much anticipated debut album Settle so so so loud and dance around on my own Robyn styles or whatnot. Great album name too eh? It's like "lol guess I'll settle for this?" but it's also like "OI SETTLE MATE SETTLE!" So not going to settle down though. Not when there's tunes like these banging.

ps. My recap + photos from their last Toronto show

music video of the day: "Grown Up" by Danny Brown

May 30, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Because I fell off my bike and chipped a tooth. Going for a Danny Brown look.
Love this song. Love this video. Love lil Danny Brown.

music video of the day: "What Love Is Made Of" by Katy B

May 29, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Makes me wanna go for a ride and I don't even drive.
While we sit and wait for a new Katy B album, I recommend her Danger EP.

music video of the (yesterday and to)day: "Bubble Butt" by Major Lazer

May 28, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Featuring Bruno Mars, 2 Chainz, Tyga & Mystic. Directed by Eric Wareheim (of Tim & Eric) so obviously it's all kinds of crazy. There are SO MANY bootys + a hilarious opening with a trio of Tumblresqe #seapunk ladiez. Too insane.

Incase you missed it, here's a link to my review and photos of Major Lazer's last TO show.

music video of the day: "Step" by Vampire Weekend

May 26, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Because everyone keeps telling me that I need to give the new Vampire Weekend album Modern Vampires of the City a listen. Guess I better get on that... Then again, they haven't released a music video for a track off said album yet, so this lyrics video ft. New York (suiting as I'm still chilling in NY) will have to do for now.

Tonight we paint the city.

Happy DFA Day!

May 25, 2013

I've run away to NY for DFA's 12 year anniversary tonight. I'm way too excited. To understand, just watch the amazing mini doc above Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic. It's narrated by comedy grumpy dad Marc Maron and is a cool recap of the cool label's 12 year history.

Did I mention how stoked I am for tonight? I'm so going to dance myself clean.

on repeat: "Horoscope" by LIZ

May 25, 2013

Mad Decent has a new LA princess on their roster and her name is LIZ. The LA blonde bombshell is basically a yung Mandy Moore 2.0. The free download above titled Horoscope has a bit of a Janet Jackson familiarity to it, which is always a good thing. Grab it an enjoy.

music video of the day: "Feels Real" by Shit Robot

May 24, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Friday fun time packing tunes. Off to run away/adventure in the am.
This is happening.

music video of the day: "Take My Hand" by Charli XCX

May 23, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

I'll admit that up until very recently I kind of hated this girl, but the more I hear the more her hipster pop is starting to crawl under my skin in a good way. Sometimes you just gotta give in to the sugar right? Take her Backstreet Boys cover below for example. It's not ironic. It's just fun. Hate if you want, but it's much ore fun to enjoy.

music video of the day: "Holy Roller" by Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

May 22, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

I used to listen to so much Thao & Mirah. It's been awhile since I check in on what Thao Nguyen has been up to and (no surprise) she's still killing it. Her fifth album We the Common dropped earlier this year. Enjoy the single above.

Modjo's "Lady" & Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You"//The xx & Jessie Ware

May 22, 2013

I so approve of this cover. "Lady" mashed up with "Music Sounds Better With You" is a rad enough combo alone but with Jessie Ware and The xx covering it?! Just. So. Good.

Fun Fact: Stardust is a side project of Thomas Bangalter AKA one half of Daft Punk.

music video of the day: "Strictly 4 My Jeeps" by Action Bronson

May 21, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

A list of things I'd like to do with Action Bronson (some of which take place in this video) ...

BBQ it up
Eat steaks off a gold plate, stoned listening to Cold Play
Play basketball while RiFF RAFF drops weird knowledge
Braid his beard
Go Jeep riding
Brunch
Eat a cake shaped like his face
Freestyle in an ice cream truck

music video of the (yester)day: "Best of Friends" by Palma Violets

May 20, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Because friends 4eva right?
But really, this song is the kindest form of friendzoning.

music video of the day: "Tears Dry On Their Own" by Amy Winehouse

May 18, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Keeping it classic.

music video of the day: "Spa Day" by Le1f

May 17, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Freaky Friday y'alllll!
Le1f is fab as heck (as per usual) and the Heems cameos in this make me happy.
TIP: Turn this one way up the next time you treat yo self

music video of the day: "Tonight Again" by Decades

May 16, 2013 in Music Video Of The Day

Toronto based melodramatic indie pop gentlemen Decades release their debut record with White Girl Records tonight at the Garrison. Fellow Toronto locals Breeze (band members from BELIEFS, Great Bloomers, Hot Hot Heat and more) are opening. Also on the bill is the oh so chill dreamy Elsa (another Torontonian) and Montreal fuzz indie rock act CTZNSHP. See you there?
