Deerhoof live in Juan's Basement

OH on YouTube:

"This is jazz for punk rock. F---ing godly. I bet they play this shit at the bottom of the Ocean. While your spirit lies in a sunken ship, you listen to this."

Still with us? This next song's instrumental, and they have way too much fun playing it:

Deerhoof is unique in that it's experimental and challenging, but not sterile. Math rock with a heart of gold.

Both songs are from Milk Man.

Anyway... was just talking about them with two separate people. Thought I'd document. Bon Appetit, etc.

Quick document of similarities between Beyonce's I Was Here + Social Network OST Hand Covers Bruise

(download)

 

This week Beyonce's 4 came out. (Her new album. I love it, etc.)

One part itched my brain a way I couldn't figure out. Why did the cello + piano in I Was Here feel so familiar?

Total Social Network soundtrack moment.

White Rainbow: Hermeto Swang

 
Had to share this. Hermeto Swang from the new White Rainbow mixtape, From Now On Let's.
Give it 'til :37. Then you can click what you need to click. :D
You can download the whole mixtape from the generous + prolific White Rainbow who's letting us name our own price.

Found the Portlandia song!

We all love Portlandia. But this isn't about that.

What's that song in the opening credits? No, not the Portlandia theme Fred and Carrie wrote for the fake mayor.

The blissed out shoegazer one. 

That is Washed Out - Feel it All Around, from 2009.

(download)

Also, I just wanna go on record as saying that even though it is a great song, it doesn't match the show. They were using a more jangly fuzzed out song in the IFC promos that better match Portlandia's sloppy fun.
