spitting it concrete like the golden sun god WU LYF from LYF on Vimeo.

defiantly a favorite of mine, with little to no knowledge about the band. They have managed to keep almost everything about them a secret (they’re from the UK and have released 50 copies of a porcelain 7″). I Got Dem Wu Wu Busted Teef Spitting It Concrete Like The Golden Sun God (wow) takes up where the last couple songs I heard left off, with a style unto their own..”heavy pop”. The video about has some scary imagery but don’t turn away too soon, it’s well worth it. If you’r like me and cant get enough of this soulful indie goodness check them out on their very… interesting website here. For now I’ll just watch this video on repeat and try not to cringe.

this is unreal, for real. Big Boi drops some super catchy rhymes over one of the better beats I’ve heard in years. A video including Tron ladies, triangles, plastic beer cup walls and puppets. What’s not to love about this!? I think everyone needs to get Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty, it’s really worth it. Good luck with getting this one out of your head…

African pop music is so incredible! From The Democratic Republic of the Congo comes Konono N°1.

I read the wiki post on Konono N°1 and subsequently had my mind blown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konono_N°1

Then I watched this video.

A wooden microphone! Shiit.

If any band has captured my heart this year it’s been Twin Sister. I’m sure it also goes without saying that I’m not the only one. Twin Sister has had a ton of internet attention since they released their EP Vampires With Dreaming Kids. With all this exposure I’m sure their has been quite the demand for new material, really four songs just wasn’t enough to satisfy. Their new album Color Your World, is sure to be somethiing equally as engaging with the sneak peak track All Around And Away We Go, it’s like diet-disco (if that was a good thing).enjoy this awesome video from Ian Perlman and the studio version below. It’s really hard not to.

Twin Sister – All Around and Away We Go

from my old home of Phoenix Arizona comes Rollerskaters, or Andrew McKee. Groovy indie pop at it’s finest and a nice cut together video to boot!

This video not only blew my mind with its intracity and skill, it’s also one of the most original and unique stop motion videos I’ve ever seen. I’ll let the video speak for it’s self.

Dug deep from the 2004 archives of TED, Harvard Psychologist Dan Gilbert talks about the idea of “manufactured happiness” and argues against the idea that we will be unhappy if we do not get what we want.  A truly mind-opening video that I think everyone could benefit from watching.  Even I was skeptical at the beginning, thinking it was going to be another new-age “You control your own happiness” how-to, but there is no preaching or advice here, only some very interesting hard data collected from his own research. This guy is the real deal.  Clocking in at just over 20 minutes, its a bit of a long one, but I promise his message hits home in the last 5 minutes, so grab a beverage of choice and kick back.
