KOSHi Luvs... Brazilian Girls

Don't stop.. Don't stop now... Just keep on going...

Brazilian Girls are on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight! Weeeah! Setcher Tivos! Sabina Sciubba is one hot mama...

GaGa At Marc Jacobs After Party

I would be way more into Lady Gaga's music if it was just her voice & piano skills. Why cover all that up with a bunch of techno-plastic? Anyone can do that. Not just anyone can do this...

Kings Of Leon Are Ancient History

Or not... I feel like it was a bajillion years ago that Billy & I were rocking out to Youth & Young Manhood & then Aha Shake Heartbreak, which were both so fresh & energetic. By the time Because Of The Times rolled around, to be honest, we were kinda over it. Not that that album and the subsequent Only By The Night were bad, it's just that they started to sound a little too slick. I guess we just like stuff better when it's raw. So, it's really weird now & kinda seems like a delayed reaction to see them finally coming to prominence in the mainstream. I mean, it doesn't get more mainstream than a morning performance on the Today show...

The Dead Weather live on From The Basement

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.... I love him sooo much! Ah... Jack White. Whoo! Whoo! I've been impatiently waiting for The Dead Weather's live performance on From The Basement for weeks. Now, I'm sitting here watching the archival footage of The Raconteurs that they're running while us die hard fans wait n wait n wait wait wait... "Rich Kid Blues" is playing & it's fucking awesome. I feel like I'm right there in the studio with Jack (okay, so I have a good imagination, which enhances the in-studio effect)... oh hell, what was I saying??? They just switched to archival footage of The White Stripes doing "Blue Orchid". Why am I sitting her jerking off to blogger?! See ya later. Much later...

UPDATE: Yarrrr!!! That was way more FUN than anyone should be allowed to have in the middle of a Monday afternoon- one of the awesome perks of working from home. Did you watch? I watched with headphones on &, now that it's over, the neighborhood quiet leaking in from an open window seems all the more peaceful & zen. There's a dove cooing in the distance, some trees rolling like the ocean & a plane flying high overhead. I am one with life & nature &, yes, rock & roll. Ommmmm....

KOSHi Luvs... White Rabbits

It's so fun to have a new band to get yourself all worked up about. I mean, there are a zillion and one new bands floating around on MySpace and YouTube these days, which actually makes it harder sometimes to find one that really lights your pants on fire. I guess that's what psychologists refer to as "the law of diminishing returns"- you start to get numb to it after a while. But then, along comes a band like White Rabbits, and whoosh, just like that, your hiney's aflame.

That happened to me the first time I heard their song, "Percussion Gun", so I had to spin it on California Sound Control : Ride The Waves With Obedient Waves every show for probably too many weeks in a row. I just couldn't help myself. I also posted the video for that here last week and now, in case you missed their live performance of that very same song on Letterman monday, I've got "Percussion Gun" again for you today...


Also- you can bet your bippy that I'll be at The Troubadour to catch my first White Rabbits concert when they swing thru Hollywood on June 18th. Maybe I'll see ya there! Parumparumparumparumparumparumpapumpum...

Morphine's Honey White

And now for some retro goodness. Enjoy!

Heavy Cross by Gossip

This is my JAM right now. Beth Ditto's vox give me the most delicious chills.



Don't you just worship that little giggle mid-song? Priceless. It's no wonder that LOVE magazine chose her as their debut issue's beautiful, cherubic cover girl.


And here she is doin' it right & doin' it live...

Crystal Stilts on A>D>D

Pitchfork.tv is a way cooler version of what Mtv used to be (more like what it aspired to be) back in the day- back when they actually aired music videos. I stop by all the time to try & keep up with the constant stream of new videos, documentaries and live performances they post daily. I say "try", because it's impossible to get through it all.

Tonight I came across this pretty cool session the Crystal Stilts for A>D>D.... Enjoy!
