New Gnarls Video - “Gone Daddy Gone” by amit

Check out the brand new video for “Gone Daddy Gone” from none other than the uber-duo, Gnarls Barkley. The video has the band members as microscopic bugs (Cee-Lo’s a flea) pursuing a blonde bombshell homemaker. The ending’s classic too. Enjoy.

Rappin’ Ryan Adams by amit

It’s true. The extremely talented singer/songwriter Ryan Adams made a rap single titled “Look Who Got a Website” to backdrop his new official site. The track’s very reminiscent of Beck’s “Hollywood Freaks” from the wildly eclectic release, “Midnight Vultures.” Some noteworthy lyrics Ryan Adams include:

“This website is updated by witches”
“Awwww shit. Look who got a website. That’s right. Dot Com. What the fuck?”
“With a bottle of whisky and a wizard and a mime”
“Kevin Bacon, WHAT THE FUCK?”

The new face of gangsta rap

Click “Play Now” to hear it, and check out his new website too.

Stream The Decemberists’ “The Crane Wife” by amit

MTV U, MTV’s attempt at being a college radio station and a source for all things “indie” and “unheard” of has put up The Decemberists’ new album “The Crane Wife” in its entirety for our streaming pleasure. According to MTV, the album “is a tragic Japanese folktale turned epic Americana-flavored rock-opera, rife with greed, abduction, rape and death.” Yikes. “The Crane Wife” comes out next week on Capitol records.

Ben Folds Goes Postal by amit

Ben Folds decided to show off his musical chops on the Australian TV show “jTV” by covering The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights.” He, along with three local drummers, used household instruments like a wine glass, a wooden spoon, and a mailbox covered with a towel to recreate the melodic electronic sounds of Dntel. Hopefully the track will be released as a B-side or illegal download.

Snow Patrol Thanks “Grey’s Anatomy” by amit

ABC’s powerhouse medical series, “Grey’s Anatomy” is not only known for romantic drama, suspense, crying, bad medical ethics, and hints of comedy, it’s also a catapult for musical acts like The Fray and Snow Patrol. Gary Lightbody, Snow Patrol’s front man, owes their recent snowballing success to a song “Chasing Cars” playing during the final few minutes of the season two finale. Recently, the band went even as far as to re-cut scenes of “Grey’s” into the music video. Lightbody told AOL Music,

“It’s very strange to have people coming to the band just on the back of one song, ’cause we’re very much an albums band and we want to win people over with our live show or whole record rather than some TV show they saw. [But], if people come along because of that, then we’ll win them over.”
