MGMT on Yo Gabba Gabba

Yo Gabba Gabba is a childrens television show broadcast on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr.
(Yes...that is the channel aimed at pre-schoolers)

There's a difference...instead of Sharon, Lois, & Bram you have featured acts such as:

Jack Black, The Shins, Biz Markie, Rahzel, The Roots, Of Montreal, Mates of State, The Ting Tings and many others.

Well add onto that list, MGMT, who's seen here performing the song, "Art Is Everywhere" on the show.



...this video is going to attract a lot more than ages 5 and under.

"Pursuit of Happiness" by Kid Cudi hits YouTube

I posted the track, "Make her say" by Kid Cudi last month which features appearances by Common as well as Kanye.

It's off his upcoming album, "Man on the Moon: End of the Day" which is set to drop...I believe...next Tuesday so that's September 15th, 2009.

Also on that disc, and recently spotted on YouTube, will be the highly acclaimed track, "Pursuit of Happiness".

Why all the attention? Well the track features a collaboration with Ratatat (who also helped produce the album in its entirety) and MGMT. Each act is at the top of heap of artists to watch right now and you could imagine something big like this will happen when you put them all in a blender and press the mix button.



What do you think of the track?

MGMT Thursday

Aiden and I have been using the awesome social music service http://blip.fm to have an MGMT "blip-off" today.

Keeping with the MGMT madness, I found this awesome cover of "Time To Pretend" by, The Pierces (whom I believe are primarily made up of the two chicks) and Gonzalez (the piano dude...maybe?).

Best Cover You'll Hear All Month

Now this is awesome! Weezer took the time at a show in May to bust out back to back cover's.

They start with dead on impression of MGMT's, "Kids" and then segue into Lady Gaga's, "Poker Face".

This is a direction I like...a rock act mixing up their show with some solid pop covers.

The video is straight from Weezer's YouTube channel, so the vid/sound quality is great, perfect for blasting at your next party.



On a side note: Does it bother you when you get a cup of coffee and the 'barista' puts the lid on it so that the mouthpiece is right on the seam of the cup!? That pisses me off.

Ease Into The Monday

It's Monday...which means back your desk, or your baseball field, or your polo grounds, or your forest, or your cave, or whatever you may do during the week to earn the ka-ching, bling bling, ooo chee wally wally.

Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, the follow tracks, will keep the bad vibes afar.
