"Treat Me Like Your Mother"

"Forever My Queen"

"Bone House"

"So Far From Your Weapon"

]]>I Fell Fast. I Fell Hard. Heypenny, I I'm In Love With You.http://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/16/i-fell-fast-i-fell-hard-heypenny-i-im-in-love-with-you.html[kibbe]2009-06-16T15:32:26Z2009-06-16T15:32:26ZIt hasn't even been a half hour yet since my ears were graced with such happy/glorious sounds and already I know that this is going to become a new obsession.

Presenting the new love of my life: Heypenny.

My beloved friend Dean just introduced me out of nowhere. I didn't know what I was getting myself into. But it was definitely love at first sight/listen.

These guys are a four-piece based in Nashville, TN. It would have been great if this band existed when I was going to Belmont so I had a local band to parade around loving (pun intended).

They had me at this video. I mean, killer jamz + robots = WIN EVERY FREAKING TIME. Am I right??

If you enjoyed "CopCar", you can download a demo of it here.

 

They also have this adorable video for their jam, "Parade":

"Parade" is also available as a free download. Be sure to click here if you liked it!

So yeah, they have a record out in the UK, which you can pick up a physical copy in their store. They plan on releasing their EP very soon. No release date set as of yet because they're cooking up some crazy-fun ideas on how to let people know of its release.

If you enjoyed yourself, you can find these precious boys all over the internets.

]]>WHY DO I LIKE THIS SONG SO MUCH!?!?!http://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/12/why-do-i-like-this-song-so-much.html[kibbe]2009-06-12T14:39:08Z2009-06-12T14:39:08Z

+ = awesome

No really, it's so silly, but I think because it's so silly and I don't have to over analyze anything about it would be a good enough reason for liking it.

What the heck am I talking about?

The jam is from Brooklyn-based Das Racist (who, btw, aren't racist).

The song is called....

Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell

Yeah. Even admitting the name of the song makes me blush a bit.

The particular version that I am enjoying in particular (yes, there are actual multiple versions of this) is the remix done by Wallpaper.

You are going to hate yourself for loving this, I promise.

]]>[Possibly] The Last Film David Carradine Ever Did... And It Starred Jimmy Gneccohttp://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/11/possibly-the-last-film-david-carradine-ever-did-and-it-starr.html[kibbe]2009-06-11T21:24:31Z2009-06-11T21:24:31ZJimmy&David5 by Ours Photos.

As somewhat of a superfan of Ours, I do what I can to keep tabs on what Jimmy Gnecco is up to in hopes of catching him again live. I swear to you, watching this guy sing so hard that he looks like he's about to snap in half in incredible.

Anyways, the day that the world got word about the death of David Carradine, Gnecco posted a blog mourning the loss of Carradine, which included photos of the two of them from their upcoming short film.

Short film?

Yes.

Monday I caught wind that the new A-Ha record had leaked and proceeded to tell my best friend (and world's biggest A-Ha fan) Ted, of the wonderfully tragic news (I still get a little bummed when something leaks).

Now today Norweigan papers are reporting that the leak did not come from a renegade journalist or someone from where the CDs are actually produced, BUT FROM UNIVERSAL NORWAY THEMSELVES!

]]>Amazon's 50 Albums for $5 [June Edition]: How Much You Should AT LEAST Be Spendinghttp://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/9/amazons-50-albums-for-5-june-edition-how-much-you-should-at.html[kibbe]2009-06-09T16:25:08Z2009-06-09T16:25:08ZAmazon MP3 just tweeted about their sweet monthly deal where they offer 50 albums for $5. I personally don't have $250 a month to spend on records to try out just from Amazon, so here's some records I've heard/I own that I enjoy to start off with. Don't worry, I made sure to rank them in order of "must haves" to "if you've got the extra $5 lying around".

So how much do I think you should be spending at the very least?

It's pretty gross outside today. Not as bad as when it storms like crazy in Florida, but rain in NYC is never very fun at all.

There's nothing better than curling up with a good album when it's raining. These are some of my favorites to put on in a storm:


 


]]>Having A Crush On Calvin Harris Is So Easyhttp://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/8/having-a-crush-on-calvin-harris-is-so-easy.html[kibbe]2009-06-08T15:02:13Z2009-06-08T15:02:13Z

Seriously. How precious is this young man??? He's BY FAR one of my favorite follows on Twitter. Kid just likes to randomly yell about things he loves/hates, has a great sense of humor, and *most importantly* seems to have a good handle on using all of these wonderous internet tools to interact with his fans. Actually, the most important thing is that he's VERY easy on the eyes, haha. JK JK!! (Not JK that he's cute, but JK that it's the most important thing about him)

But yeah, not really sure why his single that's doing INSANELY WELL in Europe isn't for sale in the US. Guess he's no longer a priority here?? Hmm??

No matter, I want you to hear it and I don't think you should have to be patient for Columbia to get their act together. Right now the only option for US fans is buying an physical import on Amazon and it doesn't even have all the sweet remixes included below!

Calvin Harris - "I'm Not Alone" (Promo CD)

Tracklisting:

  1. "I'm Not Alone (Radio Edit)"
  2. "I'm Not Alone (Extended Mix)"
  3. "I'm Not Alone (Herves See You At The Festival Remix)"
  4. "I'm Not Alone (Burns Rework)"
  5. "I'm Not Alone (Tiesto Remix)"
  6. "I'm Not Alone (Instrumental)"
  7. "I'm Not Alone (Herves See You At The Parade Remix)"

If you like this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASSSEEEEE go check out the Calvin Harris Merch Store and buy something!!!! Precious boy only gets to keep doing this for a living if you join in me in supporting him financially.

]]>Kevin Devine Tonight At Music Hall of Williamsburg!!http://www.kibberocksthecity.com/journal/2009/6/7/kevin-devine-tonight-at-music-hall-of-williamsburg.html[kibbe]2009-06-07T15:42:46Z2009-06-07T15:42:46Z

This has been a long time coming. My bffl Ellena has been telling me about her friend Kevin Devine for YEARS and I have yet to meet the guy. I was even at his show at Bowery Ballroom but for some reason was SO exhasuted at that show that I couldn't function and had to leave before his set was over.

BUT NOT TONIGHT!! NO WAY BUDDY!!!

I hear we're going out to dinner with him first and then wandering over to watch him rock out at Music Hall of Williamsburg, but plans change within a drop of a hat all the time.

Regardless, I am STOKED to finally properly meet this guy and rock out to his jams. I have thoroughly enjoying his new record, Brothers Blood. Do you have it yet? You totes should have it!!

His Daytrotter session is pretty dang good, too! You can check that out here:
