Chanson du Jour

Subpop Records in Seattle is a great label to investigate if you are looking for a new band. They have almost impeccable taste (that right is reserved for me, and only me) and have a great ear for greatness. This is a new band to the Subpop group that I heard on Acoustic Cafe tonight.

Rivers and Roads by The Head and The Heart

Today's song is a competition. Which song has a more frenetic, spastic group and video?

Up Up Up by Givers


or

Cousins by Vampire Weekend


PS - I have the Cousins video on my iPod and my daughter loves to watch it. It makes me so proud.

Jenfra heard this song on the awesome local radio channel KXT 91.7 and loved it. She dropped by tonight to bring the wife a birthday present and suggested I play this fellow on the blog. I, having never heard of this guy in my life, was intrigued. I gave it a listen and found it to be blog-worthy. So, everybody enjoy...

You Were Never There by Diego Garcia

This song is for the newly returned missionary, my brother Big Al. I just want you to know that I liked the new Coldplay album so much I bought it the other day. Also it is for my wife who loves these guys as well.

Watching this video reminded me of another British production that involved dressing up in animal suits; the tv show Trigger Happy TV. Anyone remember that show on Comedy Central? It was probably my favorite show of the late 90s. Here is a little clip that gives you only a small idea of how great this show is.
