Santogold + Tickle Party = Awesome

Rising art rock/New Wave star Santogold has teamed up with Miami-based artists FriendsWithYou to make a new, must-see short film, "Tickle Party." Using Santogold’s song "Say Aha," the film employs a number of techniques – stop motion, puppetry and 3D – to tell the story of dancing, cloud-like "fuzzies" who encounter a monster that cries rubies. Sounds great, right? Well, maybe words don’t do it justice. Just check out the video here.  

If you like the song in “Tickle Party,” be sure to look for Santogold’s self-titled debut album, which is set to drop later in the year, April 22. The album comes courtesy of Downtown Recordings, home to such heavy-hitters as Gnarls Barkley, Justice, Cold War Kids and Spank Rock.

Unless they're dead...

Well you can't shred dead luminaries. Just living ones.

Guess Pitchfork liked the second posthumous Elliott Smith release.

PItchfork shreds Wilco now

I think these guys just enjoy ripping apart albums.

Scarlett Johansson Sings... Badly at Coachella

Someone thought it was a good idea for Scarlett Johanson to accompany Jesus and Mary Chain on the Coachella stage...Unfortunately, she couldn't stay in tune.

Fall Out Boy's song in V-cast ad

I like the song, but I can't stand the douche with his "workout" routine crap. "It gets me PUMPED!" Is he for real? Anyway, what's the name of the song? Does anyone know?

Who's going to Coachella this year?

I'm definitely going on Sunday ... Placebo, AIR, Damien Ric and CSS will be there. Can't wait :-)

Snow Patrol on Flickr!

Check out this extensive and comprehensive photo stream on the band. Pretty cool.

Bloc Party's new album on iTunes

Their sophomore record "A Weekend in the City" isn't very different from their first and very ambitious effort "Silent Alarm". They haven't evolved much sonically or lyrically, which I guess is a good thing considering how great "Silent Alarm" was!

Any new cool music?

Hey guyz,

Looking for music recommendations in the alternative/rock area. I like bands like Rock Klills Kid, Keane and Snow Patrol. Anything with similar sound would be great!

Peace out!
