Cee Lo Green – Fuck You

“I guess he’s an X-Box, and I’m more Atari”

An absolutely brilliant track.

Clever and catchy as F**k.

simplesinger – The Road

So this is a super rough demo of what we’re doing now.

Hopefully with more to come.

The Cool Kids and Theophilus London are playing Reggies tonight, and if you’re into hipster-hop you’re not going to want to miss this killa.  Theo is a superstar in training, and The Cool Kids are always fun.  Also it looks like Chuck and PJ will be DJ’ing an after party all. night. long.

Perhaps a perfect summertime, hip-hop, Friday night dance party is in order.

The Cool Kids – Mikey Rocks

Theophilus London (Feat. Solange) – Sandcastles (Black X Blue)

Clem Snide covers Journey’s “Faithfully”

Thursday, July 8, 2010
7:30pm – 11:30pm
Schubas Tavern
3159 North Southport Ave.

You can also check out the Facebook for more info, and to let us know you’re coming.

simplesinger – The Reeling

Passion Pit cover.

So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted any of my own stuff on the site.  My friend Josh over at Soapbox Wines asked me to put together a video of me performing a cover song to promote our upcoming show at Schubas on Thursday July 8th.  Somehow I decided to come up with a stripped down acoustic version of Passion Pit’s “The Reeling“.  It’s a little rough around the edges, including some off-camera harmonies from Eric, but here is that video.

Let me know what you think, and make sure to come on out to the show next Thursday.  It’s going to be fun.

The Books – That Shit Ain’t Right

One of my favorite songs from The Books off their 2003 album, ‘The Lemon is Pink’.  They’re playing a free show tonight at the Prizker with Via Tania.

Should be a good one.

The Visual Mixtape

These are really cool.

Broken Social Scene – Looks Just Like The Sun (Live in Stockholm)

Phoenix – Long Distance Call (Unplugged)

I have always been really impressed with how Phoenix is able to translate to different contexts and reinterpret their own songs.   The mark of incredible song writing.

Love that Marimba.
