You be the judge.

And, for what it’s worth, I once saw the drummer from Blondie give the light man at a show the worse public profanity whipping I’ve ever seen. Let’s just say he had a real flair for creative use of the word sucker.

My latest discovery is Marshall Tucker Band’s Can’t You See and Velvet Underground’s Oh, Sweet Nuthin (which will also totally make you realize the Dead were influenced by VU).

You be the judge:

What exactly is the point of this post?

I read today that Hollywood is apparently losing its appetite for overly plastic surgeried women. Fake boobs and taught lips are on their way out as casting directors  begin to look for natural sag and those actors who rock what they’re born with. This made me think about all of the young, impossibly perfect women (and some men) who go out to LA and hack themselves to bits trying to achieve some kind of Barbian archetypal body. eg Heidi Montag. And now, like getting a tramp stamp of the Backstreet Boys in 1999, what they’ve done to their bodies, has gone out of style and they’re stuck with it. Serves them right.

#2 MGMT on SNL this past weekend. I think it’s awesome that MGMT decided to put out a slightly less accessible, stranger, basically, record for their follow-up to the hugely popular Oracular Spectacular. Congratulations is a ballsy 2nd record and should shake off some of the fans who would have surely led to MGMT playing sold out shows at Madison Square Garden within the next year.

Check out the rad song “Brian Eno” from their performance the other night

I commend the MGMT guys for the frankness of their obliquely bitter response:

“Hey everybody, the album leaked, and we wanted you to be able to hear it from us. We wanted to offer it as a free download but that didn’t make sense to anyone but us”

You can stream the whole thing for free, right now, on MGMT’s Website.

Behold.

Music Go Music is an ensemble, modern disco outfit  helmed by the husband/wife duo behind the overlooked band Bodies of Water. They’ve created an entire backstory for the project, replete with fake names and a fake 70s TV show called Face Time. Here they are doing one of their songs live on the fake TV show Face Time.

I think they did a damn good job of recreating a sultry 70s vibe. Instrumentally they’re super put together and the guitarist is a total shredder.  I wouldn’t be surprised if you hear a DJ spining this stuff soon, it’s great party music.

And for good measure, here’s some old Hot Boys.

I need a project bitch, a hood rat bitch…             Classic.
