The Hook Up Edition

6. Alizee, One of my favourite sites is www.fark.com it’s a collection of weird and funny stuff from all over the world. You submit a link and hope it gets picked for the general public. Cuzoogle has been on it, but for the first time one of the videos I picked got selected and here it is. (One of my guilty pleasures is French pop singers.)

5. Jens Lekman, Back in the 80’s my brother and sister and I would sit in the back seat of our parent’s car and make fun of Paul Simon lyrics. We just didn’t get how brilliant they were. Now I get them and appreciate it when others do too.

4. Blitzen Trapper, Another appearance by a band I’ve just recently been turned on to. I love their sound (perfect road music) and this video is way better than their previous efforts, it reminds me of Terry Gilliam’s style of animation.

3. The Foals, I like bands that I can picture most of my friends dancing to and if you believe videos, like I do, girls will love this song. Serious fun.

2. Pela, These guys are Brooklyn’s answer to the Arcade Fire. If they sound familiar it’s probably because you watch Scrubs. I don’t do that anymore, it’s like M*A*S*H* when they got too preachy.

1.The Fiery Furnaces, These guys had huge buzz a while ago, I picked up the album and just didn’t get it. Shades of Paul Simon because I do now. Very cool tempo changes. Great video, reminds me of taking the ferry to P.E.I. and praying I didn’t fall in.
