This song apparently will not die and now its worm ridden zombie corspe has risen out of the dirt and its wearing a cowboy hat.

Les Savy Fav(ourite)
Monday, October 12, 2009
On the weekend I had to go on impromptu road trip to visit family. The upside of the 8 hour return trip was I got trawl through the depth of my IPod through some on my favourite forgotten sing-along albums, which trapped in the confines of my little car I belted out some classic renditions of Clash, Lifetime, TV on the Radio, Small Brown Bike and these guys Les Savy Fav.
Let’s stay friends was an album that probably didn’t get the showing it deserved. The appeal of previous songs like the Sweat Descends just didn’t seem to grab as many people this time round. But its a great album, sometimes its solemn and other times is they provide the party anthems to the apocalypse. Les Savy Fav is the band the Shins wished they could be if only they knew how to shout.

Greedy Hen, designers, illustrators and local purveyors of all things pretty have just wrapped up the video clip for Washington’s latest single ‘How To Tame Lions’.
Make of the song what you will but the video does have that Greedy Hen touch that we do like so much...

Grouper
Whether you’re in a car driving along the dark coast at night or a just walking the abandon streets of your neighbourhood, Grouper’s luscious loops and eerie sentiments are the perfect companion...
Here's 'Hold the way' the first video from her new EP 'Vessels', the follow up to her delightfully named 2008 album the 'Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill'.

just a little add-on to the previous post, a tiny taste of the vast talents of Sean "Har Mar Superstar" Tillman... comedian, actor, singer, chubby balding guy.
Ellen Page and friends to pen hipster comedy for HBO
Ellen Page, Ali Shawkat (of Arrested Development fame) and Sean "Har Mar Superstar" Tillman have just signed a deal with HBO to write and produce a comedy for HBO about two hipsters and their perilous adventures as they travel to LA to become artists... "of any kind". Well, guess what- everybody LOVES to make fun of hipsters, even (especially!) other hipsters- so as you can imagine, the hilarious blog-bashing of this project is already spreading through the internets like wildfire...
Burn Hollywood: Precious hipsters. Precious people in sweaters. The comedy supposedly will outline the perils of hipsterism. What perils? What goddamn perils do hipsters have? They only have the time and energy to be hipsters, because they don’t have any problems. They wear glasses without lenses for christsakes, what perils? Does their vast underground music collection absorb toxic waste then mutate? Do their ironic shirts get burned in a wildfire?
Warming Glow: Oh boy, I hope their trust funds are big enough to support their dreams! You girls be careful — I’d hate for your kaffiyeh scarf to get caught in the spokes of your fixed-gear bicycle on the way to Hotel Cafe for your band’s debut. What would they do without their lead ukulele player?!
Not too worried on this end, though- seems like the description of this project insinuates parody, so that should make everyone happy. HBO is usually pretty reliable and call me crazy, but Page is likeable enough, Shawkat was just plain brilliant as Maebe Funke and the zany Har Mar Superstar, well- check him out here... I think this has potential...

Devendra makes sweet sweet love to Phoenix tune
ah Phoenix- those cute french boys and their catchy pop anthems have won themselves a veritable wealth of admirers this year, including very cool artists, such as passionpit and animal collective, who've undoubtedly been keen to jump on that bandwagon of success by remixing phoenix songs lately. here's devendra bandhart's subdued and mellowed version of the song Rome. deeelightful.
