There's just nothing better.

Metronomy's The English Riviera was one of the best albums of 2011 -- and quirky, instantly memorable little tracks like this were a good reason why.

Here's The Look.

Quote (and Picture) of the Day


"Did Home Depot go from hardware store to sex dungeon when we weren't looking?"

SEAL of Approval


Yeah, I'm still incredibly busy and will be through next week (look for things to improve drastically a few days into February) but I wanted to take a second to link to this story, which once again proves just what bad-asses our Navy SEALs are.

The Huffington Post: U.S. Military Raid Frees Hostages/1.25.12

The first line of the article says it all:

"U.S. Navy SEALs parachuted into Somalia under cover of darkness early Wednesday and crept up to an outdoor camp where an American woman and Danish man were being held hostage. Soon, nine kidnappers were dead and both hostages were freed."

This team was apparently the same one that both killed Bin Laden and took out those three Somali pirates back in 2009, so their record just keeps improving. As I've said before, my father was a SEAL, so I hold these guys kind of close to my heart. Rangers lead the way and the Deltas liberate the oppressed -- but when you want the most dangerous people in the world to die never knowing where the hell that shot came from, you call in the SEALs.

Somewhere between Zero 7 and Ivy lurk the Australian electro-indie outfit Car Stereo Wars. If you've never heard their 2008 album, For Your Comfort and Safety, and you're into late night chill music, do yourself a favor and go download the whole thing right now.

Here's Broken.

The Master Debater


I really do feel bad outsourcing commentary right now, but I can't stress enough how, well, stressed I am during the day as a deadline on a project I'm working on is fast approaching.

With that in mind, here's Jon Stewart last night rightly losing his mind over not just Newt Gingrich's almost sociopathic hypocrisy and utter lack of shame but the testicularly challenged John King's unwillingness to call him out on it.

Violens are a Brooklyn-based trio that sound like they came out of London, circa maybe 1964.

This is one of those little songs that's tough to get out of your head once it's lodged in there.

Here's Violent Sensation Descends.

Sleigh Bells are back and the first single off their new album kicks all kinds of ass.

Plus, yeah, Alexis Krauss remains ridiculously hot.

This is the appropriately titled Comeback Kid.
