Holy great new music, Batman! I just discovered this band while doing a little spot of Youtube-ing, and, um….whoa. They’re dropping big stinky funk bombs all over the UK and EU. Check ‘em out at http://www.myspace.com/thekillermetersfunk and send some US love their way!

Loading ...They Might Be Giants have come a long way. They’re a band that have been constantly reinventing themselves from day one-although they’ve consistently delivered catchy pop songs with deceptively dark lyrics, along the way they’ve grown from a two guys and a drum machine to a full-on rock band, recording albums that touch on everything from dancy electronica to kids music to a Grammy-nominated recording that’s all about science. If you don’t know them, GET to know them! I guarantee you’ll find something you’ll like.

I think everyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s can find something in this song to relate to, and bring a smile to their face. This song-besides being catchy as anything-underscores the need to look back and remember where you came from, and to never forget what it was like to be a younger you, and try your best to hold on to that childhood feeling that all is right with the world and things will be okay.
Enjoy!

Remember these guys? Despite fading from the mainstream, Squirrel Nut Zippers will always have a place in my heart. 1998’s “Perennial Favorites” features this excellent track, accompanied here by this top-notch video.

They have been Spin.com’s “Artist of the Day”, Rolling Stone’s top 10 “Artist to Watch”, and named as Last.fm’s most played artist of 2008. This one’s for everyone who has been hiding under a rock for the past two years.

The material is a combination of traditional rhythms from Togo and 70’s Afrofunk. They seem to be heavily influenced by the music of Fela Kuti which makes sense because Elikeh’s drummer toured with Femi Kuti, Fela’s son, for three years.
On Saturday, August 22nd, Elikeh will be hosting an Afrofunk Dance Party in DC. If you are in the Baltimore/DC/NOVA area, this show is pretty much mandatory. While “Selma To Soweto” seems like a relatively chill song, Afrobeat music is always very fun to see live and everyone will be dancing their asses off. If you come out to the show, be sure to say hello. Show details below.
