Cover of the Week 08: Jonathan Coulton – Baby Got Back

Yes, someone did make a cover to the classic booty anthem by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Jonathan Coulton puts a little country twist on the song that makes the dong go bong and badunkadunks shake, rattle, and roll.

Cupid’s iPod – Happy Valentines Day 2009

Well it’s about that time of the year again – romantic candle light dinners, chocolate hearts, and Russel Stover decides to run that one, under-produced, hackneyed commercial that they run every year. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. Hate it or love it, the day has arrived, and to suit your needs the Terrapin Sound Staff have [...]

Justice: Modern Day Rockstars? Yep

Justice, French Electro-Rock superstars that exploded on the scene with their debut album†, recently released a DVD documenting their seemingly outrageous tour. Check out the trailer and you’ll get a glimpse into some crazy footage of these nutty Frenchmen rocking crowds so hard they look like they are in musical ecstasy (or just ON it). [...]

Super Mash Bros: Better than Girl Talk?

I’m not a huge Girl Talk fan, but I’m addicted to Super Mash Bros’ mash ups. One listen and you’ll be hooked. “It sounds like Girltalk’s hot cousin,” boasts Super Mash Bros‘ website lazerwolf.com. Download their entire debut album, ‘Fuck Bitches. Get Euros,’ for FREE on lazerwolf.

More on the Grammys from ?uestlove

Had I been aware that ?uest was going to liveblog the Grammys from the Grammys on Twitter last night, I’d have saved myself the trouble and kept his Twitter page on refresh. By the looks of it, he tweeted about all the other awards given out as well. I’m reading over his tweets now and [...]

New Music: The Lonely Island feat. T Pain – I’m On A Boat

Last time The Lonely Island delivered on the music front it was the faux club-hit “J*zz In MY Pants.” On this past weekend’s SNL they debuted a new tune called “I’m On A Boat” that channels the over-the-top-baller-status of rap videos featuring big white boats, ala Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin.” With the auto-tune stylings of T [...]

Terrapin Sound Live Blogs the Grammys

The Grammys are here once again. You’ll be watching… because it’s an award show and America loves award shoes. I’ll be watching… because I’ll DVR the new Sunday night line-up on MTV and watch it later. Since we’ll all be watching, why not watch it together? Tune in here at 8pm and join me while [...]

Friday Fuel 14: The All American Rejects – Gives You Hell

This song is a power-pop masterpiece. Talk about Friday FUEL! Well, kind of. But it is definitely worth a listen. It was coined “the male response to ‘Oughta Know’” by some source that I cannot seem to rediscover. I feel that was a mildly appropriate observation in some respects, but not in others. Listen and [...]

Cover of the Week 07: Joss Stone – God Only Knows

This one’s been around for a while, but it’s hard to get sick of a good rendition of them Beach Boys…especially God Only Knows.  Oh, and this girl in the video is not Joss Stone, but it’s all Google Video had. Enjoy!
