Jimmy Kimmel is F@cking Ben Affleck


In case you somehow missed this video this week

The Cribs remixed by Postal Service

The Cribs "I'm a Realist" remixed by The Postal Service (link). I don't think it's all that great, but what do you think?

Fall Out Boy does Michael Jackson's "Beat It"


Fall Out Boy does Michael Jackson's "Beat It". I have to say of all the covers I have ever heard of "Beat It", this one is my absolute favorite.
Stream the song here

Song will be on some future live FOB DVD

Kings of Convenience leave EMI


kings of convenience-I'd rather dance with you


My favorite Norwegian duo Kings of Convenience have left EMI(link). Is there anyone left on EMI? New album out sometime this year.

Commercial for the new Panic At The Disco Album

No New Postal Service




Sadly it looks like there will be no new Postal Service album out any time soon (link). Personally I think there is to much pressure to release an album, pressure for it to be a million times better than the last album. Which is impossible. It's like Barack Obama, we have elevated the man to near god like status that it's impossible to not be disappointed when he wins. I believe that even Ben Gibbard has realized this about the Postal Service. It is better to release a song here and there and leave people wanting more, then to release a full album and have people get disappointed.
