Under The Cover

As I came home from a long day of swimming with the extended family, the sun finally setting behind the trees this song came up on my iPod. I found it fitting since summer is fading and kids of all kinds are going back to school and it reminded me of being young and not wanting the summer to end.

"Wet Gold" Video

Growing up we got use to seeing things talking that shouldn't be: a dune buggy, a scared dog with a big appetite and of course, Heathcliff.

Austin's Octopus Project unleash the next great thing in talking: an inflatable row boat!

The Raveonettes Kill Themselves

Here the new cover for The Raveonettes album, In And Out Of Control, and their first single "Suicide." Despite the ominous title it's actually quite upbeat... has a very 1960's pop feel to it. The beginning actually reminds me of "Bustin' Surfboards" by The Tornadoes.

Danny Balis

I've always been curious to hear what a Danny Balis song would sound like, now I know. He wasn't shittin' us when he said it would have a Don Williams sound to it. You can check it out at DC9 @ Night here.

Girl In A Coma "El Monte" Video

Girl In A Coma aren't really wasting any time (finally) releasing videos from Trio B.C.--this is their second on in two weeks.

Pretty Lights Coming To The D

Pretty Lights is bringing his second coming of DJ Shadow sound to Dallas when he hits up the Granada on November 10. The Colorado Springs producer will bring his touring drummer along with him as well to add to the live performance. But, if you think it's just going to be a boring show with a producer pushing buttons on a sequencer while his drummer lays down the beat--think again. His performance will be a full on AV experience including video and a full-blown lighting rig that will produce... pretty lights.

If you still don't have his two albums you can still download them for free here.
