MUST WATCH: 11th Dimension by Julian Casablancas

Finally, the video is out! Been waiting for this for the longest time now and it's a good way to end 2009. I love the video just as much I love the song. Julian Casablancas has a slight similarity with MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden. Sayawan na!

MUST WATCH: Animal by Miike Snow

I really have big problems with catchy songs- they tend to stick in my head as I randomly sing the lines in any given place and time. This song is not an exemption. Animal was one of the best tracks that was released in 2009 and also part of my LSS playlist of the year. I just realized how I easily fall in love with bands who can make me bop my head with just the first few beats of their songs and Miike Snow perfected that.

MUST LISTEN: French Horn Rebellion vs Database

This hot collab by the brothers French Horn Rebellion and Brazilian duo Database greeted me this morning and I couldn't help but dance my ass out of the bed. It sounds like Justice singing The Supreme's We are Family and after looping it for the nth time, you'll listen to it for another nth time.
Release date will be on 1st March 2010 under Once Upon A Time Records.

The Evolution of the Hipster 2000-2009

This is Paste Magazine's take on the evolution of Hipsters from 2000 to 2009 from their November 2009 issue. I wonder what is the look of the 2010 hipster? : )

2000: The Emo

The proto-hipster’s white belt and guyliner make for a soulful combination.

2001: The Emo Redux

The skulls on her tour-only Death Cab tee don’t match the skulls on her Vans, so it’s not like she’s trying too hard.

2002: The Ashton

His PBR trucker hat and faux vintage t-shirt reveal an obsession with “irony.”

2003: The Scenester

A gaudy tattoo appears on her chest, and she is never spotted without her iPod.

2004: The Twee

He adores his rare-vinyl collection and tobacco pipe. Despite 20/20 vision, he wears Buddy Holly glasses.

2005: The Fauxhemian

She suffers for fashion, wearing a furry hat, boots and keffiyah even during the warmest months. Her new wrist tattoo is the Japanese symbol for beauty—or at least that’s what the guy at the tat shop told her.

2006: The Mountain Man

He seeks working-class authenticity, taking pride in his full beard and the fact that he’s often mistaken for a homeless person.

2007: The Vintage Queen

She shops at retro boutiques and posts Holga photos on her blog. She has said that the koi fish cover-up tattoo on her arm symbolizes “nature and love and peace and stuff.”

2008: The Williamsburg

He thoughtfully hangs shutter shades in the deep-V of his white tee, and he’s often seen walking his fixed-gear bike around town while texting with his iPhone.

2009: The Meta-Nerd

By wearing the popular Three Wolf Moon T-shirt, today’s hipster makes a mockery of herself. She has finally completed the full-sleeve tattoo.

MUST LISTEN: Ready for the Floor(Hot Chip Cover) by Lizzy Trullie

Lissy Trullie is a four-piece band fronted by a former model with the same name (parang Kitchie Nadal lang) but definitely not sounding like her. I so like this version better than the original but Hot Chip's version is still a classic indie song. When I first heard it, I thought it was a guy until I saw the video. Lissy is my new Karen O.. I couldn't help but adore her boyish hair as well as her androgenous charm.

MUST WATCH: WTF by OK GO

No, you are not high of acid or any substance for that matter, it's just the new video of OK GO, WTF. It's colorful and trippy minus the thread mill just plain music video excellence. And just a cool fact, this music video is well choreographed it was shot once.

CUTIE ALERT: JP Nataf - Come Tell Me

You must watch! This music video is major cute it melts my heart! The cute character looks like an alien or something but it doesn't matter what it is. It has a certain charm same as the milkbox from Blur's Coffee & TV music video. No Brain,a French animation/VFX studio created this video for JP Nataf. Where can I get sometghing like this!

MUST LISTEN: Dominos by The Big Pink

The Big Pink's brand of electro-rock is somewhat against the nu rave current as they infuse shoegaze influence in a very subtle way. Singed on the legendary record label 4AD, The Big Pink is getting a lot raves in UK and slowly garnering cult followers in the US with their debut album A Brief History Of Love . Who says shoegaze should be dark and slumberful?

THE KILLERS LIVE IN MANILA!

Air Supply and David Pomeranz eat your king and queen of hearts coz the concert event of the year will be next year! Doesn't make any sense at all. Yes, as the title says, The Killers will be performing here in our beautiful country! Mark your calendar on January 31, 2010 as Brandon Flowers and the gang sing their hits such as Mr. Brightside and Human at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. I will be there front row! I will be wherever they are. Call me a stalker but what the heck...it's THE KILLERS!
