OTHER COOL STUFF

 

Tokyo Police Club - Your English Is Good

Tokyo Police Club - Your English Is Good

This week we had Tokyo Police Club in the studio where they played us a handful of songs including this pretty impressive version of ‘Your English is Good.’

 

Hey There Vagina

Hey There Vagina

A cooch-tastic parody of the song "Hey There Delilah" – complete with stolen internet pictures!

 

Scissors for Lefty - Ghetto Ways

Scissors for Lefty - Ghetto Ways

Scissors For Lefty came by the studio and played us a stripped down version of their hit song “Ghetto Ways.” We dare you to try and get it out of your head. You will fail.

 

Fresh Prince of Bel Air – FULL Intro!

Fresh Prince of Bel Air – FULL Intro!

The full intro song to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air apparently only aired in the first few episodes. See exactly how he went from his momma telling him "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air" to whistling for a cab in Hollywood.

 

Chocolate Rain

Chocolate Rain

Not to be confused with some sort of parody of Prince's "Purple Rain," this is just one REALLY repetitive song about racism. But the lyrics are hilarious and the melody is infectious!!!

 

Cary Brothers - Who You Are

Cary Brothers - Who You Are

You’ve probably heard Cary Brothers before and didn’t even know it, as he had a song in some movie called Garden State that apparently changed people’s lives. In any case his new record called Who You Are is more deserving of your dollars than some silly soundtrack!

 

Speed-Painting with Mascara

Speed-Painting with Mascara

Bette Davis' portrait painted with nothing but mascara and the song "Bette Davis Eyes" as an inspiration.

 

All Smiles - Summer Stay

All Smiles - Summer Stay

This week we were psyched to have Jim Fairchild drop by the studio to play a couple of songs from the new All Smiles record, Ten Readings of a Warning. Enjoy!

 

Boobies Song

Boobies Song

We like this guy because he likes boobs almost as much as we do!!

 

Chrisopher Blue - Such Love

Chrisopher Blue - Such Love

Chrisopher Blue has apparently been soaked in booze. Was he drunk during his session? No, BUT every review I have read about him compares his songs to Tom Waits and says he has “blues-soaked vocals.” I dunno about all that, but I do know this is one helluva performance. Watch it…now!

 

Hillary Clinton's Sopranos Parody

Hillary Clinton's Sopranos Parody

Hillary rides on the coattails of the Sopranos finale parody-mania by making her version to promote the unveiling of her new campaign song. Watch and cringe!!

 

Acute - Trouble

Acute - Trouble

Acute are a trio from Los Angeles who play pop music that is equally melodic and hooky. One song will have roaring power pop guitars and the next will lull you into submission with lush string arrangements and harpsichord solos! Check out their debut LP, “Arms Around a Stranger,” out now on Help Records.

 

Embarrassing Ice Skater Fall

Embarrassing Ice Skater Fall

What's more embarrassing? The fall, the devastating silence after she lands on her head, the pity-applause they get afterwards, or the Wham song they did their routine to?

 

Animal Costume Video - "Get Your Hopes Up"

Animal Costume Video -

The video for Hard Place's song 'Get Your Hopes Up' is so weird... it's like 'Hungry Like the Wolf' meets Robot Chicken.

 

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!

 

Pretty Ricky: Late Night Special

Pretty Ricky: Late Night Special

These 18-year-olds (they call themselves Peer Pressure) are dancing to a Pretty Ricky song in response to a competition that the R&B group help. Peer Pressure is available for parties, ladies.

 

This is Why I'm (Literally) Hot

This is Why I'm (Literally) Hot

Revamped version of the hip-hop song you can't get out of your brain. From the makers of PaxilBack.

 

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: Kate Havnevik – Unlike Me

Live at LG: Kate Havnevik – Unlike Me

This was one of our favorite sessions yet as we actually had an accordion player in the house! Kate Havnevik is all over the place right now and we were psyched that she was nice enough to come by our studios a couple of weeks ago. One thing is for sure. The girl can sing. Keep an eye out for another song in a couple of weeks…
