Damn, I must say Ian looks great at the center of the stage! Nice voice, nice sound all around really. Glad to see such a sick band on national television.

Best Coast- “The Only Place” on Letterman
I’m really starting to get into the new album. It’s called The Only Place check it out. I can’t wait to see Best Coast this summer!
Greatest Moment in Television History!
“Man, I can’t believe this!”
Haha, I was thinking the same thing. This just makes me want to try every drug known to man.
Quote of the Day: Moses on Pete and Pete
“I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia or if it’s actually good—I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s good. I love it.”*- Moses Archuleta, drummer for Deerhunter on “The Adventures of Pete and Pete,” but inadvertantly explaining how I feel about the 90s in general.
Indeed it was a great show and I love it too!
* This quote is taken from L.A. Record’s interview with Moses/Deerhunter. Here’s a link: http://larecord.com/interviews/2007/04/12/deerhunter-there-was-noise-and-it-was-cool
Good Music In Commercial Sighting: Davila 666 (Taco Bell)
Puerto Rican greats Davila 666 are gaining more recognition — this time via a Taco Bell commercial!!! The song is “Obsesionao,” off Tan Bajo (In The Red, 2011). This isn’t their first audio commercial appearance — you all might recall that Northface one that featured “Basura”. Hopefully 2012 brings some more Davila 666 to this area of the country.
Watch the commercial , listen to the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ire_n4Nz3uc&feature=youtu.be&hd=1
Some Excellent Recent Dave Letterman Performances
Last night, Wild Flag performed “Romance”. I haven’t gotten a chance to listen to their debut album, but I do plan on getting on that soon. I really dig this song. It reminds me of a more melodic/pop-ish Angry Angles and that extremely addictive part of the song, beginning “Hands down we like” sort of reminds me of that part in “Trapped Here,” — “Relax, relax, relax, my little victim” [CLICK HERE TO WATCH]
And then one week ago, Black Keys did a real rocking performance of “Gold On The Ceiling,” which is on El Camino, which was just released. [CLICK HERE TO WATCH]
The Barbaras on TV!
Bit of a flashback video here. Footage of Memphis legends and future Magic Kids members, The Barbaras, playing the classic “Flow,” followed by a brief interview. The audio is pretty shitty, but still I thought this was a neat little ditty, worthy enough for the wolrd to see. Unfortunately, no Stephen Pope or Billy Hayes, off rocking and rolling with Jay!
Henry Rollins on Morrissey
Hahahaha! Poor Morrissey! I am fan of both Rollins and Morrissey, but I just found this too hilarious not to post.
“The reason I picked Morrissey, because, in my opinion, Morrissey just embodies every horrible trait that a human being could possibly possess.”

To kick things off, here’s Kyle’s Christmas ballad, “I’m a Jew on Christmas” from the South Park classic “Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo” (1997).
