Karen O & The Kids and some Gossip

Here's a track from the forthcoming "Where The Wild Things Are" film. Check out "All Is Love" by Karen O & The Kids. The Spike Jonze film will be released on October 16th. I guess you can always tap your ex-gf for a soundtrack need? You can see the latest trailer for the film HERE. It's gonna take me some getting used to hearing James Galdolfini as one of the voices.

Also, here's a track from the lastest Gossip record, titled "Music For Men". The song is called "2012". "Music For Men" will be released on October 6th. You can preorder the album HERE. I think the Gossip are pretty underrated in the grand scheme of things. "Music For Men" is a pretty great collection of songs, and should garner some year end honors, before 2009 is done.

Gold Panda

Here's a track from Gold Panda. Fans of Boards of Canada, Girls Are Short, and Prefuse 73 would probably get a kick out of this UK electronic act. Visit Gold Panda's MySpace page HERE. Gold Panda is currently supporting European dates with HEALTH and Simian Mobile Disco respectively. Give a listen to "I Suppose I Should Say Thanks or Some Shit" below.

Monday Rounds.

Just got back from another week in Las Vegas. Why do I think Fremont Street is way more tolerable than anything on the strip? Minus the terrible Woodstock Anniversary b.s. they have happening right now.


(Luckily, this photo isn't scratch n' sniff)

Sunset Junction also took place in the streets of Silverlake this weekend. Most of the returns I've heard have confirmed it's just a dreadful gathering of a segment of L.A.'s least desirable. Check out great live footage of Conor Oberst & Company HERE. Wouldn't have minded seeing The Sonics and Built To Spill, though.

Also, us bloggers can't throw out the 'skank' word?




Here's a track from the forthcoming Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson album, "Break Up". The album is available for pre-order HERE. We're gonna go ahead and side with Scarlett and Pete, rather than His & Her's, or whatever they're called, project with Zooey D. and M. Ward. If Scarlett could baseball trade Pete for M. Ward, we'd be more open. You can visit the duo's MySpace page HERE.
