Guys like Reggie Watts, Dub FX and Joe Driscoll are just insanely cool and good at what they do. These artists basically combine their vocal talents with beatboxing, sound effects and an awesome looping pedal instrument to create their songs and style. It’s incredibly fun and addictive to hear them play and is a must listen this week!

I was really digging Reggie Watts’ I Just Want To. It’s so catchy and really fun to watch him put everything together in the video below as you see how he just does his thing.

Also I’d just like to note that I want Reggie’s afro…and I love his suspenders in this haha.

Don’t forget to check out:

Dub FX – Made
Dub FX – Love Someone
Joe Driscoll – Just Once

Seriously i’ve just been browsing dowdenboy’s Youtube account all morning  he’s got some more amazing videos for these artists and much more!

Marina and the Diamonds are catching momentum in North America which is great for the UK band. For those who were subscribed to the diamond’s newsletter you would also have known that the album The Family Jewels is finally out. Definitely worth a listen if you’ve been a fan and have previously liked tracks that we’ve posted here before.

More treats that came along was that we got a nice free download of the track Hollywood the Fenech Soler remix. This track is definitely a banger and the video for the original Hollywood music video was really well done.  You can listen and watch the original here.

Marina and the Diamonds – Hollywood (Fenech Soler Remix)

Just lay down, close your eyes and listen

White Lies – Farewell To The Fairgrounds [mp3 @  mp3bear]

Maximo Park – Books From Boxes [ mp3 @ zshare]

Filthy Dukes – Somewhere at Sea [mp3 @ mp3bear]

Wow my posts have been coming in huge gaps, I apologize for this. As a consequence my weekend bangers list just keeps growing so consider this the ultimate getting-back-on-track week.

It’ll be filled with knockouts; as usual.

Yeasayer is here with their brand new video for the song Ambling Alp. Love love love them! First time I heard them was way back in April when Annie posted the song Tight Rope on a previous post. The video is definitely a must watch and that’s why I’m featuring it here. Very interesting video but I think it’s fitting.

Good news Ottawa! Woodhands is coming on April 8th at Mavericks! Saw these guys back at the blues fest and it’ll definitely be worth it.
Woodhands – I Can’t See Straight [mp3 zshare]

Don’t forgot to check out their myspace to hear some other fine tunes and buy the album!

Instant Love

White Lies – Death [vimeo]
Pendulum – Hold Your Colour [ mp3 filestube]
Empire of the Sun – Half Mast [mp3 zshare]

**I found that live video for the white lies and decided to post it instead of an mp3 cause I thought it was way worth it. They’re really good live.

Anyways, I think it’s safe to say that we’re trying to shy away from posting youtube videos because they are so unreliable sometimes. On that note: Expect another post as soon as tomorrow!

If I had a club, this is what I’d play. Straight up non-stop dancing and singing throughout the entire night.

DJ’s take note:

this song in particular has been on repeat for the last 3 days… Simian Mobile Disco – I Believe

Simian Mobile Disco – I Believe [mp3]

Personal side note: I also named my fish Simian.

Metronomy – A thing for me

Midterms are finally over so I’m back on track. These bangers have been piling up and just waiting for me to post them so let’s get to it!

Miami Horror is a band straight from Australia (I wish I was in Australia right now…not looking forward to this Canadian Winter…)Anyways, back to the topic of Miami Horror, here’s Sometimes off of their upcoming debut album named after this very single.

Time Management

Pantyraid – Beba [zshare]

Great Lake Swimmers – Where in the World Are You(live performance ) [Youtube]

Man PANTyRAiD is KILLING IT.

Alright that’s it for me. I’ll probably get more posts up since i’m way behind!

Submerged in Midterms right now so I’ll make this quick!

Pilgrimage off of Daniel Wesley’s self titled album.

What I Got

Yeah yeah Yeahs – Heads will roll ( John Roman remix) [Youtube]

Ladyhawke – magic [Youtube]

Because I didn’t post anything last week…

Put Yeasayer on your radar. Their experimental rock/psychedelic pop is exactly the type of feeling you need to experience throughout the week. Just sit outside and look at those changing Autumn leaves while listening to their song 2080 and you’ll know what I mean.
The song comes off of their 2007 album entitled All Hour Cymbals. Check it out.

This video was a fanmade vid I found on youtube…

Download this mp3 for free via their website here.

Listen good

Coeur de Pirate – Printemps [youtbe]

Kid Cudi – Mr. Solo Dolo [youtube]

AY! Did you know that it’s officially our 1 year anniversary since we’ve started this blog?! So exciting.

Big things are coming so watch out for THAT.

To celebrate, here’s a band called PANTyRAiD. That name on it’s own is worth celebrating. I introduce to you a nice mellow tune about getting paid. Which I would also celebrate if it wasn’t for the fact that no paper has touched my wallet since the summer. As I type this I have 5 cents in my wallet…tragic. If someone came and stole my wallet from me right now I’d just laugh in their face.

Pantyraid’s Get the Money.

MUAH!

Marina and the Diamonds put out a new video for her song I’m not a robot. I like it.

Her Crown Jewels EP is out now and available for download via her website. I’m not surprised that I’m posting another one of her songs cause there’s something about Miss Marina’s voice that just makes her style so right.
