MUST WATCH: Queen of Hearts by Fucked Up

I am not a big fan of noisy music but there's something with Fucked Up that makes me enjoy it. Probably coz of the live performances that made me a fan of this Canadian band. I just love watching Pink Eyes (Damian) going crazy on stage. He's my male version of Gossip's Beth Ditto. You might not see his crazy antics on their video for the single Queen of Hearts but it's definitely a must watch. I wish I had the same class when I was in grade school where we could just shout to each other and sing like on the video :) Fucked Up third studio album, David Comes to Life is still available under Matador.


Check out this live performance by Fucked Up featuring the nerdy Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend...

MUST LISTEN/WATCH: Vampire Weekend

After Joe Jonas appeared in 'Giving Up the Gun' music video, the last thing that Vampire Weekend would do is to appear in a Twilight movie soundtrack and boy they did it.

The band leaked the track entitled Jonathan Low online and it's surprisingly good.  I thought they would contribute a spill off tracks that didnt make to any of their albums but this one is passable.

For an extra post about Vampire Weekend, here's their new music video for Holiday which is one of my favorite tracks from Contra album and I just had a big O after watching this. I dunno, i just love watching this band.

Vampire Weekend Stripped-Down on MTV

Another thing to be excited with Vampire Weekend, beside their second CD Contra being released next week, is their acoustic set on MTV Unplugged. Ok, so I liked VW because of the electronic influence in their music and it really excites me how they would pull off their songs in stripped-down versions. Just plain EXCITING!

Here's a clip of Vampire Weekend playing A-Punk on MTV Unplugged
