I have a soft spot for cure for cancer causes and simply anything about kids -- so when this song ended up in our mailbox, I couldn't pass up posting it. Of course, I had to hear the tune myself first, and seeing how the artist introduced herself as a 13-year old girl...
Because I'm a firm believer of the power of the Schwartz(man) - here's Jason Schwartzman's holiday music offering via his indie music alter-ego Coconut Records. Of course, when I found out that Target was giving away free holiday music tunes from bands of the indie...
Despite what Florida band, An Introduction to Sunshine's name implies, this one's a mellow (and almost trippy) version of the Christmas classic. It comes from the wonderful compilation album of Christmas classics covered by various indie bands called Hey, It's...
Continuing with our Christmas countdown, we've got tune from Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey also known as the indie pop duo, Summer Camp. This little helping comes off Moshi Moshi Records' 2010 Christmas EP called A Christmas Gift For You, which include tracks...
Just when you thought it was never going to happen, here we are a again (albeit one day late) -- it's the Christmas countdown! Since I had loads of fun last year doing the 25 Indie Songs of Christmas, here we are with my favorite Christmas tradition, where we feature...
Warning - The video above contains graphic scenes of book mutilation. Otherwise, it's cute overload for all you craftsters out there. Although I would never, ever slaughter book like that -- The Woodlands' In The Dark On Monday would be a damn good song to hack a book...
Nothing fills me with much joy than to see Sufjan don wings again in a live performance. He performed live last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon playing "Too Much", a single off his latest electronica themed release, The Age of Adz. With full-on costume and...
They say good things come in small packages – for others, good things come in short bursts -- like songs done in two minutes or less. I’ve always had a thing for songs that go over that the five minute mark (without you feeling that it’s going for longer than...
In case you missed it, which I almost did - everybody's favorite piano-pop musician Ben Folds has released an album in collaboration with my personal favorite music-loving author, Nick Hornby. If that name sounds familiar, he's the guy that wrote the book High...
Our Video of the Week comes all the way from Belgium with a devilishly evil track from Ghinzu called 'Cold Love'. I don't why Russian Orthodox priests are mixing a recording while one of them's exorcising the band, and what those gyrating girls behind them all have...
OK Go creates videos that I have the compulsion to share - so here it is. Fresh off of debuting it this morning on Ellen - this is their latest called White Knuckles. It's full of all things lovable, a great song, cute furry animals and IKEA products (I got two of...
I don't usually post music news, but if it's from my fave bands, y'all gotta know about it too - even if it's a few days late. So, Belle and Sebastian is going to release their new album next month - and they've been pretty keen on building up the hype. The latest is...
The Nebraska Pop Festival is goes on its second year today, and to promote it, they're giving out a free digital mixtape of the bands participating. Today's the first night of the festival, which kicks off at Barley Street Tavern at 8:00 pm and continues on until...
Seeing the title, you might think - when did this site transform into Seventeen magazine? For lack of any other ideas for topics for the Friday's list that's coming on a Tuesday, and seeing as to how I always think guys in the indie music scene are underrepresented...
Nothing says 'ultimate music video masterpiece' than an opening where a cute redhead is being dragged by the foot by a mysterious packaging peanut monster. Combined with a laidback, lazy day song by psychedelic band Seasons, it certainly ups the quirk level to...
I've gathered a bit more time to regularly post for the next three weeks - so I'm going to make the most of it by posting new stuff to enjoy on the site 🙂 First on the agenda is Fresh from the Post. I know it's taken a bit of a backseat the last couple of months, but...
I know, I know, this went viral a few weeks ago - still, it's a video that begs to be posted. What's great about this video, is not that it's particularly hilarious (especially to people who aren't new to Autotune the News) but that it's incredibly catchy. After I got...
It's List Addicts Friday time - and today's topic is high school crushes and unrequited love. Why? Just because I'm in the mood for it and these two always go together. High school has always been a memorable time for me - not because of the nice memories I've shared...
Dani from Everyone's Talking sent this in, with the promise of posting my blog to their 50,000 followers. I thought, sure, and started contemplating on why, for the life me, have I not gotten 50,000 followers in the past three years that this blog has been alive. Then...
This will be the first time in months that I'll be doing Fresh from the Post without the usual Q and A - mostly because of the sudden shift in the force and my midichlorian count hitting an all time low (in other words, life got in the way and I haven't had the time...
< p class="has-dropcap">This is the latest from the series of videos from Jarrod Gorbel (The Honorary Title) to promote his newest album called Devil's Made a New Friend. Here, Jarrod and pals - indie fashion designer Rachel Antonoff and Steel Train frontman Jack...
Watching Inception last weekend blew my mind off, especially with Joe Gordon-Levitt's zero gravity action sequence. Yet it also reminded me that the last film I saw Leonardo diCaprio in was Romeo + Juliet. It made me feel old knowing that the once Tiger Beat fodder,...
We're still in DIY mode right now, as today's Video of the Week features a behind the scenes look at the making of experimental electropop collective, Breton's Sharing Notes EP. The album has gotten it's digital release this week, but the neat thing about getting the...
This post is long overdue as I've had this neat little compilation stuck in my inbox for a couple of months now. For this week's Fresh from the Post, instead of an artist feature, we feature a couple of songs from A Cure for the Brokenhearted - a twelve-song...
I know, I won't even apologize for any lapses in the regularity of my blog posts since it's become a common thing - then again, I always come back do I? And it's always with good stuff. This week we start (again!) with the Video of the Week. This one comes from...
This video goes a year back in 2009 for Oren Lavie's single 'Her Morning Elegance'. Since everything's going stop motion nowadays, I thought I'd show it to you guys if you happened to miss it from last year. It's not as elaborate as Coldplay's 'Strawberry Swing'...
This isn't an EBTG post, sorry to disappoint, though it was that song that inspired me to make up this week's list. As an alumni of the Long Distance Relationships club, I have compiled many-a-song to my list of tunes to soothe the weary heart. A particular song that...
Just because I seldom post new music news and I still haven't gotten to my emails to set up a Q and A for Fresh from the Post - here's something that's sort of Fresh from the Post: OK Go's new video 🙂 Going back to their roots of accompanying their songs with offbeat...
Our video of the week comes from Grovesnor, who's also known as Hot Chip drummer Rob Smoughton. As Grovesnor, he describes himself as a troubadour who looks like a teacher but sings like Usher. Dan, plays out like a nice rom-com from a few years back that you missed...
It's been a while, so I thought I shouldn't put this off any further. Yes, it's List Addicts Fridays once again, and today's theme is 'covers'. In the history of List Addicts, I have never made a covers post before, mainly because a lot of other blogs do. They even...
