Nothing says 4th of July like Bruce Springsteen... well... maybe Neil Diamond... according to the Boston Pops.
This year he's playing this song with the symphony orchestra:
Please bbq, crack a beer, blow up the sky or gawk at the parade going by... it's the least you can do for your country. No?
I didn't get rich off of PayPal, but this guy did and wow - look what he's trying to do. Certainly expiring.
Note: He claims they have no serious competition. Again, wow.
"It looks hard and it's harder than it looks".
How better to illustrate this point than to have Ali G talk to folks like Noam Chomsky...
Let's talk about the human body since everyone has got one of them...
Someone tell me why.
Someone tell me why.
Someone tell me why.
Oh - yes. I needed some GBV and for some reason this song flashed upon my noggin.
Odd especially since I much prefer the classic line up.
And since we're remembering good music times on TV -- here's an extra lovely number since it's Monday and sometimes Monday's need something a little extra. This shoulda been on TV but wasn't on in my neck of the woods.. which is odd cuz they are a Boston band yo.
Okay, okay. Yes, yes. Phoenix is good. Very good. Yes. I know. Indeed, they are French. Yes. *Sigh*
Since people are gushing about them all over every other music blog, I will be brief.
This song is pretty much something I could listen to 5 times in a row without getting bored.
This is a real music video of theirs & this song is fun.
That pretty much sums it up. Enjoy.
Amazing that this level of artistic achievement / creativity came out of a public education. Hilarious and not at all as shocking as I'd hoped. Indeed Shaker Heights, F*ck ya'all.
Long story short. Cool music collaboration got stuck due to legal woes. Sounds like that Grey Album that I am sure noone has ever heard...
A spokesperson for Danger Mouse says that "due to an ongoing dispute with EMI" the book of photographs will "now come with a blank, recordable CD-R. All copies will be clearly labeled: 'For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.'" While offering no specifics, EMI has acknowledged the legal dispute with Danger Mouse and released a statement saying, "Danger Mouse is a brilliant, talented artist for whom we have enormous respect. We continue to make every effort to resolve this situation and we are talking to Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) directly. Meanwhile, we need to reserve our rights."
Even if you don't want to hear this -- you should read about it just so you can see how strange things can get... This write up is hilarious.
You can order the book, sans music, from the official Dark Night Of The Soul Web site. In the meantime, you can hear the entire album here on NPR Music as an Exclusive First Listen.
Apparently this guy lives near me. Last year, he even won the 2008 air guitar world championship.
Yes. There's a championship for that... Maybe the YouTube clips don't do this sport / art (?) justice but it seems like pretty much anyone could do this and be a potential world champion. And you wouldn't even need to eat your Wheaties...
