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.

Hello Dolly! Just happened to stumble upon these awesome live Spider Bags videos, portraying them in all their Raleigh North Carolina glory, playing a dive bar in new york only a few months ago. Crack a PBR and enjoy the shit out of this awesome 3 song set.
