I literally mean this. I am not kidding. This may be the greatest thing to happen to me in quite some time. The actual title of the song is “Mere Rang Mein”, from Maine Pyar Kiya in 1989. Link to mp3, via Our Delhi Struggle, which I will blog about soon because it is also [...]
I was scrolling through my iPod today looking for some music appropriate for my massively over-caffeinated state, and Man Man caught my eye. Probably because I had no idea what it was or where it came from. When someone asked me what I was listening to, I told them it was like Animal Collective, except [...]
Tenderly mashed up by someone called Party Ben, from, what else, “Umbrella” by Rihanna and “Tenderness” by General Public. Normally, I’d worry about what my hipper-than-thou friends might think I was a lame-o for gushing about music that was too popular, but I think that the absolutely delightful combination of Umbrella’s undoubtedly catchy tune with [...]
I heard this song on the KEXP Song of the Day Podcast, so I figure it’s okay to put it up here. Lots of jingly pianos and guitars combined with liberal use of organ/accordion/etc and meandering, gradual changes in texture all together produce a delightful effect. Almost as if Terry Riley suddenly decided to start [...]
Via slate, we find that not only does Jeter actually suck, but that this fact is common knowledge for sabermetricians, to the extent that “debunking the conventional wisdom about the Yankee captain’s fielding prowess has become a standard method of proving the validity of a new fielding statistic”. This is enough to inspire both delight [...]
Astronaut is a cool little flash widget/experiment that provides visualization for a song by pulling pictures from flickr with tags matching the lyrics of the song. The song’s not bad and the randomness of the images makes it really entertaining to watch. The shiny-internet-gizmo-loving part of me particularly enjoys the fact that you can grab [...]
Because the incredible Sara Macwright has once again produced some of the best publicity material this campus–nay, the world–has ever seen. The point being: come to GQ’s spring concert, this Friday (May 11) at 9 pm in Center Stage (in the ’62 Center).
So I had $15 for iTunes kicking around and bought the new Arcade Fire album, Neon Bible. It is so good. So so good. I mean, it’s not Funeral, which is one of my all-time favorite albums, but it has an added depth and polish that was somewhat lacking in Funeral, even while it doesn’t [...]
My radio show (with Maddie!) has moved times! It’s still on sunday night, but now it’s from 7-8. You can listen live, over the internet here, or tune in at 91.9 fm if you’re in the area. Recently in music-land two very exciting things happened, both of them being CD releases, by what are probably [...]
It is snowing outside, and we’re supposed to get something like a few inches of snow overnight. VANILLA ICE IS COMING TO WILLIAMS IN TWO WEEKS YES IT IS REALLY TRUE
