Sufjan busts some moves on Late Night--makes me giggle.

In case you missed it, Sufjan Stevens was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this last Friday.  He performed "Too Much" off "Age of Adz" with some fanciful garb, a ridiculous entourage, and silly yet groovy dance moves.



You crazy Suff Stuff.
Here is a free download of "I Walked" off of the same album.

I like to girl talk -- all day, baby


Illegal art is being hammered right now because it is hosting Girl Talk's new album All Day, which he is giving away for free, given the sample-heavy nature of his music.  You may be able to find a link to mirror site here.

He's Back! Three Keyboard Cat Moon Threadless T-shirt Reprint

Behold Fatso the cat on the ebonies and ivories with those ivory paws!  times (x) 3, plus (+) Moon.  This shirt is a delicious meme mash-up of Keyboard Cat and Three Wolf Moon (a t-shirt on Amazon.com currently with 1,828 reviews reporting its unusually beneficial effects.  Believe it or not, I bought the shirt when it had a mere five reviews--I regret my hipster-kitty early adoption snobbery.  It is now sitting in 30th place for best selling clothing item on Amazon, and it has been up there for some time).  The lady-killing potential of Keyboard Cat plus the mysterious mojo of Three Wolf Moon make this the preferred uniform for the seduction community.  Be careful wearing this around mirrors, or you may seduce yourself.  If you missed out on the first run of these, now is your chance.  Sign up for their newsletter and get a 7 dollar coupon: worth it.  Of course, you could save the coupon for one of their 10 dollar t-shirt sales.

Doom & Gloom



I return! from the double-abyss of retirement into the slightly shallower pit of blogging obscurity to tell you about my good friends from the late Casteldoor, Nate and Lisa.  First check out the Castledoor link so you can grieve with the rest of us now that the band-brand has been laid to rest.  But let your sorrow be short-lived because these cats are still making good music.  Exhibit A:  Doom  & Gloom's bandcamp site.  These are only demos, but in my humble opinion, they are very enjoyable.  "The Big One" is two minutes and twenty-five seconds of pure delight.  Follow the links to get free downloads.

*This Just In* I still love Candy Claws


Candy Claws has two new songs available for download on their myspace page. They are two more helpings of fresh programming and liquid smooth coalescence of male and female vocals. Do not miss it.
