White Denim

Does anybody know the story of this band from Austin, Texas? Check out this wonderful clip and the way it's been shot. Rolling Stone mag have listed the song at number 92 of the top 100 singles of the year. They write:
No garage-rock jam this year was as messy — or as fun — as this Texas trio's joint, which mixes skronky Farfisas, clattering drums and thudding bass lines with righteous psychedelia.
I'm sold.

Oscar Season

Dreamworks has launched a Best Supporting Actor campaign for Kirk Lazarus, the character that Robert Downey Jr. plays in Tropic Thunder. Dreamworks is also pushing Downey Jr. for the same award in real life. Weird huh? Might work, but I doubt it.

Oasis Douche

Has Noel Gallagher become the biggest douche bag in music, or what? Read the new interview online at RollingStone.com and you tell me. All I'll say is this: Oasis will never be thought of in the same league as the Rolling Stones. And if they are or ever were, it's very foolish thinking on that person's part.

Here's the clip of Noel being pushed offstage at the 2008 V Festival in Toronto:

NASA Playlist

This from the NASA website:
Wakeup calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude.
You can click here for the playlist, which features artists such as ELO, the Rolling Stones, U2 and the Clash.
