Vincent Minor - Late Night Show MP3 Download

Everything old is new again.Vincent Minor is a man who was born in the right place at the wrong time. These Vaudeville harking tunes will take you to a place that you’ve heard of, but have most likely never experienced, and they can’t help but make you wonder if Vincent Minor is a victim of unfortunate time travel.  Vincent Minor has a distinctive slightly nasally voice that  blends perfectly with piano parts that converse with Wurlitzer, horns, and strings.

Born in the Wrong Era comes out on Social Science Recordings May 26th, 2009, and manages to take you through an emotional rollercoaster of up’s, downs, optimism and pessimism. A full-length album will follow in the fall, but in the mean time be sure to pick up this EP. Thanks to Vincent, the track Late Night Show was in our mailbox and it’s yours to stream and download below.

Animal Collective on Letterman - Summertime Clothes

Last night before bed, I turned on the tube and was able to catch Animal Collective on Letterman performing Summertime Clothes. There were 2 reasons that I was unable to record it myself:

1. I’m ill equipped technologically, and haven’t the foggiest idea how to rip videos from my TV. I’ve sure I could grab it online somewhere, edit and upload, but let’s face it: I am lazy.

2. Those human starfish with the creepy dance moves scared the crap out of me, and I had to retreat to the corner of my room with my head down until they stopped. I get a bit on edge at night, as I’m scared of the dark. No, jackass…I don’t wet my bed (too often).

Thanks to Audioperv, I was able to watch this again with some sunlight showing in my house and I wasn’t as scared. If you’re a fan of the Collective, be sure to check this out. If you like creepy dancing by colorful cocoon creatures, then this video will be up your alley as well. If you don’t like either, then you’re out of luck because I am offering no alternative.

Black Joe Lewis And The Honeybears - Sugarfoot Video

Ya, I know. I’m late to the Black  Joe Lewis & The Honeybears party, but I am glad I finally arrived. As I opened my door yesterday, I was greeted by a dingy yellow envelope addressed to me. While I wasn’t sure what it could be, my mind began to run wild. Could it be a cactus? Could it be a envelope full of lime jello? How about a petrified dinosaur turd? After thinking about it for 33.79 minutes, I decided to open the envelope and just see what was inside. Upon opening the envelope, I realized that what I had just opened, was a whole lotta soul!

As I looked at the cover of Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is featuring a lil guy sticking his tongue out at me, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I flipped the cover over, and upon seeing tracks listed such as I’m Broke, Big Booty Woman, and Humpin, I knew I was in for a good time. I went to my office, sat down, and put the CD into my state of the art Rainbow Bright CD player and took a seat. It was time to sit back and really analyze this CD so that I could give this a proper review, so here it is:

I listened to the CD for about 7 seconds before my wife and I got up, started gyrating nonsensically all over the place thanks to the funky beats, and didn’t stop for approximately 30 minutes when the CD stopped. I’m not quite sure what happened, but I pulled my groin, hyperextended my knee and my pelvis is sore. This album should come with a warning label, because it’s funk level is at a 13 on a scale of 1-10. James Brown would be proud and my doctor will be happy because my medical bills are going to far exceed my yearly income.

I dare you to watch this Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears video for Sugarfoot and TRY to sit still. If you can pull this off, I will give you your money back.

Xu Xu Fang EP Release And Free MP3 Downloads

Today I was fortunate enough to receive some nice mellow tracks in my email that gave me a real eargasm. According to the email received, “Xu Xu Fang, featuring Bobby Tamkin (The Warlocks, Hovercraft), and Barbara Cohen, who sang with French band, Air, has anywhere from six to ten members and up to four guitars, creating a layered, psychedelic sound you would expect to hear emanating from a wooded bungalow in Laurel Canyon circa 1972. The rainy sounds of Xu Xu Fang echo early Black Sabbath with whispery vocals that tend toward Elliott Smith and My Bloody Valentine.”

On the 28th of April which as you may know, is tomorrow, the band will drop Seven Days Now. If you’re wanting to “premier” this song a day early, it will be featured tonight on the CW network during the show Gossip Girl. If you want to skip the teenie bopper television and premier it before the “premier”, why not just scroll down a few lines and stream or download two tracks from the new EP: Your Way and a cover of The Cure’s Fascination Street.

Great Northern - Houses Download And Stream

One of the first bands I covered for Filter Magazine two years ago was Great Northern. I was treated to an intimate show in a little dive bar that I will never forget. Now I hear this shoegazy band all over the place: Commercials, soundtracks TV shows and just about everywhere else. They’ve since been on regular rotation on my iPod and streaming on Imeem while I’m slaving away in my dungeon. Just as I was starting to need something to listen to other than Trading Twilight for Daylight, they decided to release Remind Me Where The Light Is exclusively at Newbury Comics on April 28.

If you absolutely can’t wait to get an earful of what Great Northern will be dropping on us on Tuesday, give the track Houses a listen. If it doesn’t bring a smile to your face, than there is a good chance that you are related to Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.
