A lil bit of Monday music news!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

* MGMT, Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and a German math artist (huh?) are said to guest on the new Flaming Lips LP! Should be something crazy awesome!

*There are pianos all over London England! As part of an art project titled “Play Me, I’m Yours” pianos have been placed all over the city and anyone is free to play them. That would be just lovely if you were strolling down the street and some jaunty tune came out of nowhere! Like you were in a movie!

*Indie rockers, including Sara of Tegan & Sara, TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek and Death Cab For Cutie’s Nick Harmer, share their thoughts on Michael Jackson’s tragic passing.

* The new Most Serene Republic album titled “…And The Ever Expanding Universe” comes out July 14th! If you’re a fan check out a sneak peak full stream here!

News for Tuesday: Actors, Accessories, and Apologies. Awww…

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

* Actor Dom Delouise, an important part in everyone’s childhood, from his roles in (among other things) A Troll in Central Park, Fievel Goes West, The Secret of NIMH, and Spaceballs, passed away last night at the age of 75. I haven’t been this upset since Fievel fell off the train and we all thought he’d never see his family again… =(

* Christina Aguilera will be staring in a “Burlesque” film. No, really, it’s not what you think. Okay, nevermind, it probably is.

* James Bond and the Dalai Lama are going to help some hot English royalty to try and save the rain forest. Huh, I didn’t think you could save anything with explosions.

* Katy Perry has swine flu bling. No joke. I think she is ignoring the seriousness of the situation (but then again, so am I).

* Flaming Lips front-dude Wayne Coyne has formally apologized for insulting the Arcade Fire.

Sarah: Some Covers Better Than Others

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

031209-covered

A girl can be random every now and then right? Some more than others.

I found today’s dose of bright, comforting sunshine as I discovered a brand new complilation album titled Covered, A Revolution in Sound: Warner Bros. It’s not an album I’m necessarily recommending to you, and I’ll join you now in asking questions like why on earth is Adam Sandler covering Neil Young? And who told Michelle Branch she could come back from wherever she was long enough to get her hands on Joni Mitchell’s material? But I digress…..

Here’s the link to check out The Flaming Lips covering Madonna’s “Borderline” which is nothing but afternoon sweetness.
