completely on point. a bit late on this, but we were too busy (wait for cool brag) SEEING THEM IN PERSON, Y’ALL. i will say that i wish we saw em in complete darkness, though. sexy nonetheless.

hell yes. manchester stopped by the kimmel studios to bump their very “lithium”-esque track off of mean everything to nothing. great performance of my favorite track off the record, which is about due for a revisit soon.

awwww naw. we’re not done posting the hell out of everything hoobastank vampire weekend (only makes sense if you watched the episode) touches. the new york boys stopped by the snl studios yet again for two flawless* performances of contra standouts. above is “cousins,” and below the cut is “giving up the gun.”
*a rarity for SNL performances, ain’t it?

“little lion man” was one of every single bear’s favorite songs of 2009, and this performance leaves little room for explanation as to why. this performance is completely spot-on, as the quartet pretty much laid the vocal onslaught to waste. yeah, i went there.
also, i love how linear their set up is on stage.

one of the best performances of the evening. sir elton john joins the lady of 2009 on stage for an incredibly pyrotechnic version of “speechless,” after having been ushered onstage by some guy from hairspray. she also did a snippet of ”poker face”, which was quickly forgotten and overshadowed.

wasn’t expecting this. relatively low-key and overall overlooked GOOD music artist (let’s face it, it’s probably deserved all hudsons and cudis considering) hit the kimmel stage the other night to do a pretty solid performance of his lead single “mesmerized” with danny klein. he also played the show off the air with “follow me.” two of the only good tracks on the album, coincidentally.
doe has a lot of potential (we major, disperse) and needs to channel all heat and bring it for the next album.

i hope every hip-hop artist i ever like stops by the jimmy fallon studios and performs with the roots band. and it’s not every day where you’re gonna hear black thought hop on and bless a raekwon track.

decent performance from the two of em. these guys have a good track record together though. i’ve liked pretty much every collaboration and i hope jay-z follows through with taking jeezy on tour for the sole purpose of playing the ‘put on remix.’

wale performing pretty girls with gucci mane at the BET awards. solid performance. i really loved this song before this fucking clown hopped on it. and just for good measure, i’ve thrown in the gucci-less version of the song up.

fun. could not be more on point, seriously. the group recently sat down with paste magazine for an acoustic session/interview hoopla. they performed four songs, including: all the pretty girls, at least i’m not as sad, the gambler and walking the dog.
the bedwetter was kind enough to rip this and post it up, so i’m stealing his link.
watch the video here.

this is pretty self-explanatory, so i’ll save myself the time of explaining it.

wow, those monsters dress sharply. our modern wilburys take to the tonight show’s stage looking dapper and with wild guitar solos in hand. upon first listen of the single “say please” i felt that the project sounded bland, the parts being greater than the sum. but with this live, the pieces and harmonies fit perfectly, the sight of the actual monsters of folk together onstage almost overwhelming, there’s so much star power in this band. if only connor could lose those sunglasses.

man cudi takes a lot of notes from ye. he hits up bet’s rising icons special for his own episode. he brings a small orchestra with him and performs ‘cudi zone,’ ‘mr. solo dolo,’ ‘day n nite,’ and closes off with ‘make her say.’
he also sheds light on why ‘make her say’ is even on the album – which is all good – but the song still sucks.
don’t forget to scroll a few posts down for sunbear’s review of the album.
man on the moon: the end of day is in stores today. and hey – amazon has it for only $3.99. support the moon man.
i think i’ll actually embrace my inner adolescent and see this band live one day. here they are performing my personal favorite off the new album, bonfire. nothing spectacular, as it sounds a lot like the album version, but it’s still enjoyable.
