Ahhhhhh!!!! Jenny Lewis will be performing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight, and The Late Show with David Letterman on March 21st!
I have got more great music for ya’ll! This time, I found a live radio section that the guys from Postal Service did back in 2003. They preformed 8 tracks in total... well more like 7 different titles but there was a radio mess up during the end of Brand New Colony, so they did that song twice. Oh, by the way, my favorite new solo artist of 2006 – Jenny Lewis also was present during this studio session and provided backup vocals! She also filled in as the female counterpart in Nothing Better. You can download the whole show by clicking the link below.
Anyways, before my A.D.D. carries out any further, here's the main point of this post: my pick for artist of the moment. This time, I am going to tell you all about Jesse LeDoux – an amazing illustrator/graphic designer who does numerous album covers and posters for bands. I first discovered LeDoux when I purchased The Shin’s Chutes Too Narrow album back in 2003. He created the whole CD package, from the booklet and inlay to the disc itself; the whole thing is just absolutely gorgeous to look at!!! In 2004, he started LeDouxville, a visually stunning website which essentially act as an online portfolio. You can check out LeDouxville at www.ledouxville.com and purchase Jesse's posters at Patent Pending Industries. Also, right now, there is a limited edition of 80 signed and numbered prints available at the LeDouxville store. Each print has a unique drawing, which were compiled together to create the flipbook cartoon. Very cool! You can watch the 15 seconds cartoon here. Enjoy!
Team Boo by Mates of State has been out since late 2003, and it is one of the few albums that I can go back and listen to regularly. So without a doubt, there is a lot of expectations with their new album Bring it Back, which comes out on March 21. I have been trying to download the leaked CD for the past few days now, but sadly, without any success! Nonetheless, I have managed to find a few new songs through various websites and blogs online... and I must say, they are promising!
So, as if the Stars' cover of Fairytale of New York, the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs single and the Les Mouches song are not enough, here’s the ultimate song to add to today’s mp3 orgy fest!***download the PS's remix of Mushaboom asap, I have a feeling this is going to be taken of the internet very soon!!***
Oh my god!!!... I have just came across a Stars cover of Fairytale of New York! For those of you who are not familiar with Fairytale of New York, it is the greatest Christmas song ever… and probably one of my favorite songs of all time! It was originally recorded by the Irish folk/punk band The Pogues. It features Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl (r.i.p.) on vocals... holy shit, I am absolutely speechless right now... click on the link below to download the cover!!! (and make sure you go listen to the original by The Pogues)
