Caribou

This guy confuses me. The man behind Caribou has a PhD. in mathematics, yet focuses his life on music. I sometimes find it strange to see how peoples lives ironically change direction. The man spent about 8 years of his life studying math theories and applications, yet dedicates the remainder to music. Now if i could ask any question, I'd ask whether or not he felt it was a waste of time, all those years. True look where he is now, but could he have accomplished more with those 8 years back in his grasp. Now hold up, I'm getting alittle to philosophical. Let me get on track with my thoughts with some ill tracks. Peep the joints yo 

Caribou - Melody Day (Four Tet Remix)

Caribou - She's The One (Hot Chip Remix)

Caribou - She's The One (Kelley Polar Remix)

Skeletons in the Closet

We held out a sign that spelled out S-K-E-L-E-T-O-N, We chanted and chanted and chanted. After a few subtle instances of eye contact, Kele finally acknowledged our pleas. "What's that say? Skeleton?" But after a brief talk with Matt Tong, he said they wouldn't play it. History was made last week when a girl in DC held out a sign that said TULIPS, and Bloc honored her request, a song they haven't played live in two years. So in her honor, here are some ill Bloc B-sides that some of you might not know of but should def get on.

Cut Copy Matt & Kim NYC

  

                                     2008 was definitely a year for the synthesizer. Electric tracks reined supreme on the dance floor. This union of rock and pop ultimately created a child no one could ignore. Even the shy fell to it's spell of raging excitement. In Ghost Colours, is Australian group Cut Copy's second album. It's a highlight of last years epic rise of electric. I caught Cut Copy at NYC's Terminal 5 on Saturday. The show was absolutely amazing. The show was sold out, meaning about 3000 were there. Definitely one of my favorite live performances, they had the crowd going crazy, you couldn't help but dance. Brooklyn's own Matt & Kim opened started us off that night. Now they are one band to look out for; and if you don;t know, then find out. Throughout their whole set they were both smiling and you can tell they had an amazing time. Matt even mes

sed up alittle, so they broke out into random break dancing. 

Cut Copy - Lights and Music

Cut Copy - Far Away (Ring Trick Mix)

Matt & Kim - Daylight

Matt & Kim - It's a Fact (Printed Stained)

Back Seat

We all wish we could meet our favorite bands. We wrote them emails, joined their fan sites, even waited in line for hours on end just to get a hello. But three geniuses came up with an idea that not only gave them an opportunity to meet their favorite artists, but they also them got them to play. Black Cab Sessions had bands such as Cool Kids, Death Cab For Cutie, Bon Iver, and Man Man in acoustic sessions in the back of a London cab. If only we had thought of that first. Be sure to check out this awesome video with My Mourning Jacket.
