Friday Fuel:

To power you through what’s looking like a pretty snowy weekend, we’re trying to keep you warm with  “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon.

Cover of the Week: Phish – “Happy Birthday”

We can quibble all you want about whether “Happy Birthday” counts as a cover or not, but fact is, it’s my birthday and Phish singing “Happy Birthday” sounds like an awesome present. Check out this video from the last concert of Phish’s reunion weekend at Hampton Coliseum, March 8, 2009.

Friday Fuel: Terry Poison – “Smack Snack”

This week’s Friday Fuel is a sweet electro-pop little ditty by Israeli group Terry Poison, called “Smack Snack.” Terry Poison is an electro-pop band that has most recently been seen at CMJ Festival in New York City, where they got rave reviews. You’ll definitely see them back on here again!

Friday Fuel: Soohan – ‘Spread the Joy’

This week’s Friday Fuel is a little bit different from the usual.

All Points West planners were faced with a dilemma this summer when headliners The Beastie Boys announced that, because of Adam “MCA” Yauch’s recent cancer diagnosis, they would have to drop out of the festival lineup.

Friday Fuel: Benny Benassi – “Come Fly Away”

Star of the house genre, Benny Benassi has been setting the clubs on fire with this hot track, “Come Fly Away”. This song is definitely one of the standouts on my gym playlist.

Friday Fuel: Lotus – “Travel”

To change it up a little bit, here’s a video of Lotus performing “Travel” at Florida’s Aggie Theatre on October 5, 2007.
