TVOTR

TV On the Radio has officially released their latest album and from what I have heard of it, I am not disappointed.


Here is a new video for "Dancing Choose"

Weird Tapes/Memory Cassette

Gorilla Vs Bear is one of my favorite blogs because they hook me up with such great new music. They come through again with some cool instrumental, loping chill beats.

Weird Tapes-A Summer of Worship mp3


Memory Cassette-Asleep at a Party-mp3

Enjoy!

Hoop Dreams

For those of you who haven't checked it out yet, hulu.com is a legitimate place to see tv shows and movies. It is the big biz's attempt to combat all the youtube and other pirating that goes on. Pretty cool, and I just found this on there. One of the best documentaries ever

Hoop Dreams



Enjoy!

El Guincho new video

These cools are cats yo, (and W2, perhaps we can start a support group. But cooler, maybe call it Support Club you know and we could have a Basketball team and compete against other support clubs and....anyway what I'm saying is, I too have problems). El Guincho was supposed to be at the Pitchfork festival this summer but they had to cancel last minute. I think that would have been quite a fiesta. He totally looks like my buddy DJ Graymatter too.
