Video Of The Day: Dana Falconberry- Baby Blue Sky

Baby Blue Sky is from the upcoming September 30 release of Oh Skies Of Gray, the debut solo release from Dana Falconberry.

Concert Review: Andrew WK 7/28/08

Last month Lansing was rocked hard by one man. One man wielding a single synthesizer. One man whose good will and exuberance was enough to turn Basement 414 into a writhing love fest for all things relating to rock anthems. Apparently on a trip to visit family and friends in his native Ann Arbor, Mr. WK was kind enough to stop by the intimate venue to share his anthems of love, goodwill and partying. By and large the set consisted of requests from the ecstatic crowd, running the gamut of hit singles such as We Want Fun, and Party Hard. Though the set was stripped down, the rousing nature of his compositions matched with his larger than life personality had much of the club hopping, dancing and decidedly befuddled. And as soon as it had started, his key bashing, hair swinging, fist pumping performence faded out into completion, and the attendees stumbled out into the muggy eve, all the better for having seen this opportune rock event.

Video Of The Day: M83-Kim And Jessie

New Of Montreal- Id Engager

The first glimpse of the upcoming Of Montreal album “Skeletal Lamping” has been revealed in the form of a new single called “Id Engager”. Definitely a funky affair, Id further embraces the glam rock alter ego of Kevin Barnes named Georgie Fruit. Synthesizer’s fly and vocal pitch’s soar in this sample track. It is hardly a masterpiece, but it shows great promise for this highly anticipated fall release.
