Underworld – Ring Road

Not sure quite how I feel about this yet.  It feels like it belongs on an episode of the 1st season of The Real World.  Maybe during one of Eric’s modeling gigs…

According to GvB, My Girls from Merriweather Post Pavilion is an ode of sorts to a guy named Frankie Knuckles. Yes, Frankie Knuckles.

Passion Pit – Sleepyhead

Amazin’!

Late last night I caught the latest installment of “Spectacle:  Elvis Costello with…” which featured Bill Clinton. After a very interesting conversation between the Costello and Clinton, the show closed with this awe-inspiring number from Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden.  Unbelievable. I’m getting soft in my old age…

Some tunes from Ms. Marshall’s newest EP, Dark End of the Street.  The baddest bitch on the block.  Bahlee dat.
