New Music: Dave Matthews Band – Funny How It Is

Information on this album has been slowly leaking throughout the last couple months, so rather than deciding to post every annoying little tidbit, I decided to wait until something substantial is released. This morning I got just that, courtesy of @DaveJMatthews. The first single off their upcoming album Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King [...]

Late Night Round-Up: April 13-17

And we’ve finally got some new episodes of late night…

Kanye West Likes Fish Dicks

When you become as outspoken and popular as Kanye West, your appearance on South Park is inevitable. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are kings of comedy and when someone falls onto their radar, the target locks on and they never miss. Last night, Kanye got his medicine in the episode “Fishsticks.” It is a must-see [...]

Cover of the Week: Tegan & Sara – Dancing In The Dark

So I’ve never listened to Tegan & Sara before, but they really kill it on this acoustic cover of Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark.” There’s also no synth or eighties flavor to it.

Late Night Round-Up

Here’s a new segment we’ll be bringing you every Monday that highlights music performances on all our favorite Late Night shows. All in all, this week’s pretty weak. Almost every show is running repeats…

Smithstock 2009!

If you weren’t outside Van Munching on Friday afternoon, boo.  There were burgers (even of the veggie variety).  There were hot dogs.  There were chips and soda.  There were t-shirts featuring the peace-loving “Hippystudo” and tie dyeing!  There was a wing eating contest! But most importantly, there was live music <3

Sucky Sunday

So, I have been informed by my partially-religious counterparts that today is the day Jesus was resurrected? That’s fine with me. That should make this video is somewhat appropriate for today. I’m glad Jesus was resurrected and all, because he is a friend of mine. Jesus, it’s good to have you back. This song about [...]
