11:11am: "Peaches" by the Presidents of the United States of America--what. a. throwback. They're playing at the Westcott Theater on April 22. I don't know how they scored a set at an actual venue seeing how they're playing a show on what looks to be someone's backyard patio? UPDATE: I found out this is some weird cover band about mid-way through the song? That's what you get for just grabbing random videos off of youtube..



10:30am: We just played a track by Broken Spindles, which is a side-project of The Faint. Broken Spindles was interviewed by our friend Mike Murray for his sweet new music blog The Calcutta that he does with his friend. They've interview a lot of people already, including one of my favorites--Brendan Canning from Broken Social Scene. Hopefully we can get Mike's band To The Ruins in the studio sometime soon.

10:15am: We're playing "Knife" by Grizzly Bear and Yof actually had the opportunity to see them live when he went to the Radiohead show in Boston over the summer. Yof showed me this video of Girl Talk at Pitchfork Music Fest which actually had the lead singer of Grizzly Bear singing this exact song live during the remix.
