I’ve been feeling like Miley Cyrus hasn’t gotten enough attention in the last few weeks, what with a looming invasion, the NSA leaks, and all that. I’m here right that wrong.
This is totally SFW and contains no twerking!
Honestly, though, check out all this dude + friends doo wop covers of pop songs.
I’m not sure what the best part of this is: the fact that Bon Iver kind of looks like a substitute math teacher, the fact that this isn’t entirely successful, the fact that B.I. has the lyrics written on a note card in front of him, or the fact that throughout, I kept kind of anticipating Bonnie Raitt to appear stage left and join up. Hey, it could happen. He’s friends with Yeezus.
I’ll admit to being angry that she’s so pretty that she looks pretty in CLOWN MAKE UP and that she first tried to make it as a punk-rocker. This is the same feeling I get when I watch 15-year-olds at the Olympics.
It got down to about 70F this weekend in Charleston, and it just hit me: autumn isn’t coming to the humid subtropical zone. Still, a girl can dream of sweaters and apple cider, right? Escondido is a Nashville-based band (not chilly there either), and their sort of washed-out, bare-like-the-desert-but-glittery-like-the-Opry sound is perfect for imagining the onslaught of Facebook updates about pumpkin-spice lattes.
Los Si Si Sis aren’t breaking entirely new ground or anything, but I don’t care and I really like their record because I came of age in the mid-00s and am stuck there forever.
People criticize bands whose sound doesn’t evolve much, but not I. I’m all about things I like remaining constant, and don’t even act like you weren’t all about “Date With The Night.” Liar.
I saw Karen O & Co. in Philly once, and it was singularly the most fun I’ve ever had in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania. I love how Ms. Lady dresses like Betsey Johnson on acid, and let me tell you, whatever “it” is? She’s got it, and he’s got it, and they’ve got it.
