Cool Track: Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People

Heard these guys recently on XM Radio station ‘Alt Nation’. If you sign up for their mailing list they’ll send a free MP3 of this track…check it out: www.fosterthepeople.com.


Cool Track: New Order – Ceremony

One of my all-time favorite New Order tracks…also check out ‘Age of Consent‘ from the same concert.


Cool Track: Being Bad Feels Pretty Good – Does it Offend You, Yeah?

My favorite track from the latest DIOYY album. Not an official video…sadly there isn’t one. Check them out on MySpace or visit YouTube and watch the video for Dawn of the Dead


Cool Video: Phoenix – 1901, Live in Paris

Just a really cool video I saw on YouTube…You should also check out the second one in the series, features ‘Lisztomania’ and ‘One Time Too Many’. Definitely worth a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfQbB0xeao8.


Broken Social Scene cover Joy Division

Broken Social SceneI just saw today that Broken Social Scene has done a cover of one of my favorite Joy Division song’s, Love Will Tear Us Apart. The track will be available on the soundtrack for The Time Traveler’s Wife, which I actually want to see even though it looks like a complete chick flick…

All in all the cover is pretty good. I definitely prefer the original, but the BSS version of it is a nice change of pace. It has the signature BSS sound, but is missing the energy (and Ian Curtis) of the original which really takes away from what I love about that song.

I found a page that has the track available for download…not sure how long it will be on there so if you want a copy, get it soon….
