The Dismemberment Plan - Memory Machine
Not the official music video. I guess since its WAIW (I bet you thought that I'd forget) I have to write something.
The Dismemberment Plan have been a long time favorite band of mine. Probably since about 8th grade. And since I lived in the DC metro area, I had the extreme pleasure of seeing them and Travis Morrison's newer band MANY times before each fizzled out and ended. One of my favorite stories involving him (though it was for his new band, not this one) was one time when I was on my way to a Modest Mouse concert in DC I ran into him and a bunch of friends and they were like screw the Modest Mouse concert come to this one! So I went and saw Travis Morrison and completely ditched my $50 dollar Modest Mouse tickets. I still haven't seen Modest Mouse to this day, and at this point, probably never will. I blame Travis Morrison for that.
And that's my tale.

Second Tuesday Post: Spoon - Staring At The Board
Can't find this online, so just go to iTunes and buy the song or something. That's all I got.
2 for Tuesday.
Kind of embarrassing but I am a bachelor/bachelorette fan. I know, ewwww gross.
If your a fan too then you totally get this song and if not I'm sure you know it and will enjoy every second of it.
Another love song for this lovely day!

I love these types of productions, and it was so hard to choose. I went in looking for My Morning Jacket, but came out with these:
Sunset Rubdown - You Go On Ahead
The New Pornographers - Showstoppers
I love that it's him and his neice.

Tom Waits - Martha plus bonus cover plus bonus movie clip
Tom Waits - Martha
Meatloaf - Martha
This reminds me of the movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Jason Segal's character is writing a puppet musical based on Dracula, and whenever he would perform his songs in the movie, I would think of Meatloaf.

SO Meatloaf, no?

The Drums - Saddest Summer + Bonus
Making up for my lack of posts during the weekend. I guess I'll only stick to these two aptly paired songs.
Brooklyn "Surf Rock." What a bunch of weird dudes. The singer is from the group Elkland, which was an electronica outfit, and then they went to this stuff. Still pretty fun.
Also, got to see Surfer Blood last night, and it was honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to. I've watched plenty of videos of them playing online where they sounded mildly disappointing. But whatever they had going for them last night, it was going strong, and they sounded fucking amazing. I had to pay twice face value for the tickets, but whatever, it was definitely worth it.
They played a version of this song with a like 5 minute solo section where the guitarist soloed with a drumstick. As lame as that sounds, it wasn't. It was great. It's also my favorite song from the album, and it also probably has been posted here already, but whatever.
*Replaced old video with a great live version.
