New Vampire Weekend

I love the new Vampire Weekend songs, can't wait till May 7 :)

While considering my vote on the weekend for Triple J's Hottest 100, I came across the Warmest 100. It is a social-media sourced prediction based on the votes that people have shared via social-media. They currently have counted over 35,000 votes, which they estimate to be approx 2.7% of the estimated number of total votes. An article on brisbanetimes.com goes through some of the statistics for those that are interested. I wonder how many they will get right?

I had a look and what surprised me the most was how many songs I hadn't even heard of - starting to feel old! The Warmest 100 website has set up the songs so you can stream them and most of the ones I didn't know are from genres I generally don't like.

Guess I'll just have to go back to listening to my CD copy of the Hottest 100 volume 6, (or online at triple j), *sigh*.

Drawing This Love

Do you want to draw one frame in an upcoming filmclip?? Bright Knight's song 'This Love' is currently being turned into a film clip and if you want to, you can colour/draw/whatever one frame. Go to http://www.drawingthislove.com/ and sign up to download you're frame. There is also a clip of what's already been down and it looks pretty awesome. I signed up this afternoon and got frame 795 - wonder what I'm going to do?? Check out the promo clip below...

and the progress so far...

Phoenix/John Hughes mash up

So, saw Phoenix in Brisbane about a week ago it was soooo awesome. Gotta love whoever did this John Hughes Mash-up, the song totally sounds like his movies to me.

Stay

So, I'm a big fan of the 90s. I love the nostalgia, I love the movies and the music and the tav and the clothes. Not saying I particularly want to re-live it but there are many fun memories for me. So When I hear about this 90s music collaboration over at Black Eiffel I couldn't resist. Muse Music recording studio is doing a 'Reliving the 90s' series by local artists and the two I've seen so far are so great! Check out 'Stay' below performed by Katie Brandeburg (originally by Lisa Loeb) is so so awesome! Subscribe to the YouTube here.

P.S. I checked out Katie Brandeburg's myspace (link above) and here version of 'Merry Christmas is def. worth a look!

Mumford and Sons

So today is Laneway, yeah! But the storm clouds are creeping in and I'm worried it will rain too much to be enjoyed. Congrats to Mumford and Sons for getting 'Little Lion Man' at #1 in triple j's hottest 100 for 2009. Can't wait to see them in about, 2 hours?!
