OTHER COOL STUFF

 

Warner Drive-The Shocker

Warner Drive-The Shocker

Their English teacher always told them "write what you know". So they grew up, formed a band in LA, and began writing songs about hilariously degrading women.

 

ATHF Movie Snacks Intro

ATHF Movie Snacks Intro

Mastodon performs as the evil snack band, in what may just be the greatest pre-movie concessions ad ever! From the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

 

Idiot Grabs Reporter's Mic Instead of iPhone

Idiot Grabs Reporter's Mic Instead of iPhone

What happens when a mob of Mac fan-boys are in line for the iPhone, and a reporter interviews one of four people in the country with the gadget? Why some moron comes along, that's what.

 

Gayest Video Ever: B44 - "Get Down"

Gayest Video Ever: B44 -

Never heard of this boy band before, but there's so much awkward sexuality going on here I don't know where to start. Maybe "interracial gay pedophilia" is a good place.

 

Hyperactive Singer

Hyperactive Singer

Here we can see the audition tape for a young boy practicing for American Idol. He isn't very good, so chances are he will win.

 

Hard Gay Feeds the Children

Hard Gay Feeds the Children

Hard Gay is not the kind of guy you'd leave alone with your kids. So let's watch him try to make a little boy enjoy some food!

 

Planet Unicorn!

A gay boy wished for a planet full of unicorns – Planet Unicorn – unicorn planet!

When I first heard of the iUnit, I totally thought it was a Mac-inspired dildo. Boy was I wrong!

 

Live: Mando Diao-Long Before Rock n Roll

Live: Mando Diao-Long Before Rock n Roll

Mando Diao have been a favorite here at LG for some time now. We actually had a bunch of people from the office head out to the Troubadour to see them live last month. Needless to say we were all pretty psyched when the band stopped by for a session, and they didn’t disappoint. Here’s the first of three songs they played from their new record Ode to Ochrasy.

 

The Harlem Shakes

The Harlem Shakes

Well I don’t know if you can really call this an acoustic performance, but either way it’s pretty frickin’ entertaining. The Harlem Shakes are one of those bands where the term “collective” actually applies. This was one of three songs they played for us from their debut EP titled Burning Birthdays. Look for them on tour this Summer!

 

Live: ATE - Girls In Their Summer Dresses

Live: ATE - Girls In Their Summer Dresses

This is one of those bands that I knew nothing about before they came in, and thought they would sound much different than they did…probably because of the name. It turns out that ATE happened to be one of my favorite performances in long time. If you are into BritPop and/or the Smiths I think this might be your new favourite band.

 

Live at LG: Limbeck - Big Drag

Live at LG: Limbeck - Big Drag

Limbeck are a band from the Los Angeles area, or to be more specific Orange County. They play a brand of classic California rock the way it used to be done back in the 70s. I have had a chance to see the band live a couple of times and their new self-titled record is one of my favorites of 2007. It’s the kinda music that makes you want to have a BBQ!

 

Live at LG: Wax On Radio - Today I Became A Realist

Live at LG: Wax On Radio - Today I Became A Realist

Wax On Radio are a collective from Logan Square, an area on the West side of Chicago that is quickly becoming a hotbed for new and emerging indie acts. They were kind enough to swing by our studio while they were on tour and we always welcome bands from the Midwest through our doors. Plus anyone that plays the guitar upside down is pretty awesome in our book!

 

Pete Wentz & His Guyliner

Pete Wentz & His Guyliner

Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz wears eyeliner, but since he's a boy, we call it guyliner. Apparently this was worth an entire People Magazine news piece. I'm going to go kill myself now.

 

Live at LG: Let's Go Sailing - Sideways

Live at LG: Let's Go Sailing - Sideways

If you’re saying to yourself right now: “Self, I know I’ve heard this song before but can’t remember where,” chances are you watch a little program called Grey’s Anatomy. Let’s Go Sailing have become a staple on the show with not one or two but three songs receiving placement in those super dramatic almost laughable scenes. I don’t know about the show, but the band is great as evidenced by their stripped down version of the soon to be huge song “Sideways.” Good stuff!

 

Live at LG: Electric Soft Parade - Come Back Inside

Live at LG: Electric Soft Parade - Come Back Inside

I have been a big fan of Electric Soft Parade since their debut record came out back in 2002. Unfortunately the band has never had the success in the States that they have seen in the UK. Hopefully that will all change with the release of their latest record, No Need To Be Downhearted, out on April 24th. Highly Recommended!

 

Electric Soft Parade - Blue It Is

Electric Soft Parade - Blue It Is

It’s not all that often that a band does a live cover that makes you want to find out more about the original artist, but I have a feeling this version of “Blue It Is” originally recorded by the late Billy MacKenzie might have that effect on a lot of you. This performance is one of my favorite moments from the Live at LG sessions. Good stuff!

 

The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down

Slutty hipsters, skanky drug dealers, happening party-people, all in the LA club scene. I hang out at these bars so you know this sh*t's good.

This adorable Cambodian boy rides his pet python around the house! Unbelievable and cute! *Check out the end!*

 

Live at LG: Locksley - Let Me Know

Live at LG: Locksley - Let Me Know

Locksley are from the NYC, but they channel Liverpool like few bands can nowadays. This session was probably the most fun we’ve had since we started the series, and it was all because the guys in the band were having as much fun as we were. This track is from their most recent record Don’t Make Me Wait in stores now.
