Here We Go Magic - "Collector" (Official Video)

Here's the real video for Collector. Have to say, I prefer the unofficial version!

Here We Go Magic - Collector (Music Video)

Here We Go Magic made a video for Collector. And they did it without creating a single piece of new video footage. They just collected a bunch of random video samples together. It's like they're collectors or something. Weirdos.

Twin Sister - I Wanna Be Your Lover (La Bionda cover, live @ Neumos, Sea...

Twin Sister's take on La Bionda's space-disco epic 'I Wanna Be Your Lover'. Awesome-o.

Sesame Street: Smell Like A Monster

Old Spice spoofed perfectly by Sesame Street.

Deerhunter - Helicopter (Official Video)

On lazy/hungover Sunday mornings, there's no better way to hide from the sun than lounging in bed with a coffee and discovering new music online. Over my past few months spent searching through iTunes, Amazon, Pitchfork and Spotify, the band Deerhunter always came up as a recommend when listening to bands such as Grizzly Bear, Atlas Sounds, Beach House and Real Estate. Finally giving in to the not-so-subtle hints, I downloaded their latest album, Halcyon Digest. I'm damn glad I did. Like most great albums, it takes a few listens for the gems to surface, but this album deserves all of the praise that has been heaped on it this year. While I'm not sure if it's my favourite album of 2010, it's a strong contender. Testament to this is the fact that during a recent 10-hour flight to Vancouver from London, I listened to nothing but this album. Really. Okay, maybe there was the occasional TV show in there, but 10 hours is a long time. Either way, it's that kind of album. It just gets better with every listen. And there's no better proof than 'Helicopter'.

Beach House - Walk in the Park (from Pitchfork.tv)

Not exactly what the Beach House show was like tonight at the O2 Empire in Shepherd's Bush, but it doesn't really matter. It's Beach House live, which is always worth sharing.

Twin Sister - Phenomenons

With songs filled with hushed voices and lush melodies, Twin Sister are giving the term 'easy-listening music' a good name. This up and coming Long Island-based electro-folk band are currently promoting their latest EP, Colour Your Life, and will be playing at The Lexington on Thursday, November 25. Excited to check them out live. Should be a good night, especially since it starts off with London's Movember Gala. Watch this space for photos from the 'taschtastic event.

Wishery (Disney Remix)

Stumbled upon this video on another blog and was blown away. The creativity of people out there never fails to amaze me. Even cooler, most of his remixes are available for free at http://www.pogomix.net/downloads. Happy dl'ing.

Respect the Mo. Donate to the Mo!

Lock up your daughters and your beard trimmers, after a two-year hiatus, the ‘stache is back for Movember. The first time around, the legend of Ron Burgundy lived again and the city of Vancouver couldn’t keep scotch in stock. This time, it’s taking the form of a Texas rancher ‘stache that Yosemite Sam would be proud to call his own, and the ladies of London only wish they could.

Of course, growing an impeccably groomed moustache in November is meant to do more than just raise the eyebrows of Blighty's women and the ire of thin-bearded men. It’s about raising awareness and funding for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. As me and 3 billion of my brothers from other mothers (and two from the same) are at risk, this is kind of a big deal.

So I’m asking you to support prostate cancer prevention by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you just need to click this link: http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/764100/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.

The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember, you can visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

Thanks in advance for supporting the ‘stache and the fight against prostate cancer.

Jimi Hendrix - Pali Gap

Not to be found on any of his Greatest Hits albums, but 'Pali Gap' is one of the best Hendrix songs out there. The South Saturn Delta album is worth picking up for more than just this gem. It's a rare blend of rock, blues, funk and jazz done in a way that only Hendrix could. Pick it up.

Table Connect for iPhone

So cool. Now I don't just need an iPhone. I need an iPhone Table. Damn it.

the social network

Just watched the social network and came away with a few thoughts:

- Jesse Eisenberg was made for this role.
- Eduardo Sabourin is an awesome name.
- Justin Timberlake plays a douchebag just a little too well.
- 65 million dollars seems kind of lame now, weirdly.
- Aaron Sorkin can write for frustrated geeks a little too well.
- David Fincher can direct anything into a great story.
- I spend way too much time on Mark Zuckerberg's multi-billion dollar F U to Harvard's elite.

Good flick.
