Continuing the MGMT kick here is what I feel is the best song on their album.

I have a little double header coming at you here. I had a few problems with the blog yesterday but everything is fixed and ready to rock. So lets do this.

First, these guys are some personal friends of mine who make some amazing music. They are totally on the up-n-up so watch out. Signed to MySpace Records, Sherwood has a California sound everybody can love. Off their most recent album A Different Light this is, Song In My Head.

Second up in my Song of the Day: Double Header I have a classic. You probably never listened to this song in 1989 when it came out but when it was featured at the end of the movie Fight Club The Pixies’ - Where is My Mind blew up big. So big in fact that The Pixies re-released the album Surfer Rosa and sold more albums that year then they did in the previous nine years of its first release. It’s not surprising given the success of Fight Club and the fact that it is a great song.

I tried really hard not to give in to the infectious sounds of MGMT. I listened to this album a little while back when it came out and I just thought it was to out there for me. However, the major label saturation has managed to get it stuck in my head to day so I am going to give the entire cd another show. The song is great and the video is almost as strange as the rest of their music. I also managed to find a nice copy of the video with good audio so enjoy.

I know I didn’t post a song for the last few days but I promise to make up for it soon. Until then enjoy this little gem.

So my senor gallery show is now open. It has taken a lot of work but now you can come and check it out.

Fake Empire is a visual responce to one question. What happens when the communication systems and media outlets that we currently rely on are severed?

The reception is tonight at 7pm and any one is welcome to come out and take a look. All the galleries will be open. Fallowing the reception I will be heading out for dinner and some drinks at a location to be announced tonight.

The gallery will be open until Thursday so feel free to stop by at anytime. Just leave a comment if you plan on coming to I can arrange with you to make sure the gallery is open.

Alright folks, this one is a real goodie. If you haven’t heard of Say Hi To Your Mom, now just Say Hi, then you are in for a real treat because these guys are super legit. This album is totally stacked to boot so hunt down a copy of The Wishes and the Glitch because its worth the effort.
