More nerds and with their toys and some rock and roll. This is cool not only because of whatever that thing is that is playing the melody ( anybody know? ) But because these think geek dweebs have one of these in their office. Why was this not invented in 1982? I would have totally had one!

Be sure and watch the making of video. It’s a rube’s goldberg machine on steroids.
Also this video was brought to you outside of the EMI umbrella via State Farm ( insurance people) which makes it very embeddable

Always experimental, Always progressive. the track “New York is Killing Me ” evokes all the blues and roots music of the south.

Please throw this cover of the all to covered classic to the top of this list.

Word on the street is the BSS appears in “The Time Traveler’s Wife ” as the wedding band. Keeping in mind that this union put’s together many things I like BSS, Joy Division and a chick lit book I actually enjoyed. I have to wonder about the use of this all too covered track. Hopefully it will be used well in telling the story. Otherwise it could be in competition with this for the most overused cover in a TV or film

Who the F*ck Is Jay Electronica
You keep hearing his name? Not sure who he is? This Decon Records Artist/Producer is about to blow this shit WAAAYY open. This clip from his trip to Nepal should be enough to intrigue most, (please name one other hip hop artist that traveled to Nepal for anything!) IF NOT here is a link of a mix tape by a fan Santo of all Jay Eletronicas best work to date. Sources at DECON say to expect BIG NOISE from Jay coming up.

Can’t Wait

As the sun sets on the rest of my youth. I wanted to shine the light on to the music that John Hughes movies championed way back when. John Hughes knew the importance of using contemporary music to help tell a story earlier than most. Way before soundtracks were just a avenue for majors to dump their C-list roster artist. and Way before indie films were the only place quirky singer song writers or accordion players had a forum.Along with his music supervisors David Anderle ( Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles) , Jimmy Iovine, yes that one ( Sixteen Candles ) and whomever and the insight to choose Yello and Dream Academy for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John Hughes was clearly ahead of the curve connecting to his audience through music.
