VOTD - ARchitecture in Helsinki - Contact High

Love this band. I don't think there is a single thing they've done that I didn't like... this is a more 80s vibish song, and 80s vibish video, but its still greatness

VOTD - Daft Punk - Derezzed

Anybody else as excited as I am for Tron?!?...

The soundtrack was done by Daft Punk in case you didn't know

Here's the new video.

VOTD - Shooter Jennings & Heirophant - Summer of Rage

So I've been going through my albums trying to settle on my top ones of 2010, and then I came across Black Ribbons by Shooter Jennings. The first time I listened to it, I didn't feel it, but It definitely got better on the next listen. It is so weird. It sure as hell aint country... its like Shooter asked himself "Are you sure Waylon did it this way" and decided to head in a new direction.

Check it out. BTW, this video was directed by the FBI informant traitor girlfriend of Christopher from the Sopranos. weird.

Girl Talk has returned with a new Mash up Album called "All Day". And Best of all, he's giving it away for free! The site has been blowing up all day, but now he's posted some mirrors. The album is intended to be listened to as a whole, so here's a little teaser to get you started. Track 1. Oh No.

VOTD - Massive Attack - Atlas Air /Splitting the Atom

OK. this is just cool. Edouard Salier a renowned filmmaker made the brand spanking new Atlas Air ideo as a prequel for the video of the first single off of the Heligoland album, Splitting the Atom. The Atlas Air video rocks my face off.

VOTD - Chris Garneau - Fireflies

This is a pretty awesome video. I love the sound of the song too... very circus-y... vaudeville even. Check it out. off the album El Radio

VOTD - The Pierces - Love you More

Todays video... well It's not a fantastic video... and the song is borderline pop, but I still love the Pierces ever since the 13 tales of Love and Revenge CD The new EP comes out Oct 25 and this is the title track.

VOTD - Die Antwoord - Evil Boy

I just got back from ACL and I saw that our favorite Ninja Rap Rave crew from South Africa are putting on a Halloween Show in Austin. They crack me up... I would love to see Die Antwoord live... here is the latest vid. BTW I'm gonna go NSFW around the 3:00 minute mark and for graphic language in the subtitles

Oh and its been a while since we talked about these guys, so if you have forgetten, here's an old video

VOTD - Daniel G Harmann and the trouble starts - DEE

Daniel G Harmann and the trouble starts are a Cool band out of Seattle with a new album that just dropped called "Risk"... This is one of the songs on it. Freaking amazing video.

Flaming Lips - See the Leaves (NSFW)

It's blurry but there is still a naked strategically blurred blindfolded chick throughout the entire video. It's so odd. Leave it to those wacky Okies. Regardless I had to share because it is mesmerizing and disturbing all at once.

VOTD - OK Go - White Knuckles.

OK GO has always had a knack for making interesting videos, and this one may suffer from cuteness overflow.

VOTD - Sleigh Bells - Infinity Guitars

Keeping with my trend of posting awesome videos... here's the latest from Sleigh Bells. I love that Derek Miller is rocking the John Oates look, and Alexis Krauss totally pulls off the Pat Benatar look.

We Speak No Americano

The song is by an Australian band called Yolanda Be cool. This video is just pure awesomeness. The choreography is fantastic. I'm curious as to what else these Cleary and Harding Irish dance troupe does.

Slowly getting back into the swing of posting again. The Cowboys make me cry.
That is all.

Secret Cities

So Boon has actually just flown back from North Dakota. I know this because He texted me that he saw Danny Trejo, soon to be better known as Machete, at the airport. In honor of his Trip, and since we have already visited North and South Carolina musically this week, I decided it was time to tackle the Dakotas for today's edition of You Got Booned!



And where better to start in North Dakota, than with Fargo's very own Secret Cities. The Pysch Pop-emo band used to be called White Foliage, but now they've got a new name and more defined sound and a new album called Pink Graffiti. Inspired by the Music and the attitude of the Elephant 6 family of artists and a college thesis about Brian Wilson, and a few major life changes comes a surprisingly upbeat album that falls somewhere between The Dodos, Vampire Weekend, Edward Sharpe and Of Montreal.

Carolina Chocolate Drops

I love me some old timey soundy music. Like something straight outa Oh Brother Where Art Thou?. In fact, I can watch Asylum Street Spankers and Guy Forsythe every single day if they did shows that often. Thats why I love me some Carolina Chocolate Drops. They Make me wanna do-see-do. They remind me lots of the Spankers, 'cept the Spankers (out of Austin TX) are a bunch of talented white musicians striving for that old blues sound, while the Chocolate Drops are one of the last African American string bands... trying to preserve it.


Carolina Chocolate Drops are from North Carolina. Which is a bit weird because I did a South Carolina Girl for yesterdays post. We are on like a magical musical tour of the US or something. Or Maybe its a total coincidence. Regardless, check out their latest effort Genuine Negro Jig. It's currently #2 on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts. Yeah I didn't know that existed either. And I'm sure as hell Sure Dierks Bentley shouldn't be counted as bluegrass. but whatever. The album has some great covers... including what I consider to be a Jessica Rabbit cover of "Why don't you do Right"

And I gotta share this cover of Blu Cantrell

Listen: Carolina Chocolate Drops" Hit em up style"




and here's another track...

Listen: Carolina Chocolate Drops" Trouble in your Mind"

Cary Ann Hearst

Let me get on my country vibe...
I'm in love with a lady from South Carolina... hold on to me tight like a....
Sorry, I had Skunkweed on the brain for a second.... would have finished singing but its a lil vulgar. If you haven't heard them, you should. Sure they are a novelty band, but they show their ability as talented musicians to transcend genres by seamlessly from one to the next without losing a beat.



You know who else can do that? Cary Ann Hearst... and ironically she's a lady from South Carolina. (Yes I know I'm the king of transistions). Cary Ann has her roots in country, but she has no problem diggin her fingers into blues rock, bluegrass, to something out of the roaring twenties burlesque scene.... musically this is an auditory delight, but when you throw in the fact that she's a brilliant song writer, it becomes even more impressive. Her lyrics are sharp and witty and the stories she tells are enthralling. Also each song style seems to be crafted around the lyrics, making the music a soundtrack to the story.

And if that weren't enough, the chick can wail. She's got a distinctive set of pipes... A little Neko Case shows up from time to time, Sometimes its a little Alison Mosshart, Sometimes some Kasey Chambers, and at times Holly Golightly. And her voice always has some Wanda Jackson with a little Martha Wainright attitude.

So last nights True Blood (Season 3 Episode 6) had this song as the closing credits. Its the first song I heard from her off her Latest EP Are you ready to Die which came out in March. It's not indicative of her country style, but it freakin rocks and it totally has a Vampire Vibe much like Dead Weather 's "Rolling In on a Burning Tire" which is on a crappier vampire series' soundtrack.

Listen: Cary Ann Hearst" Hells Bells"

Mumford & Sons

Today on You got Booned we celebrate one of the greatest sitcoms of all time starring Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx. Oh wait... sorry I read that wrong... Its not Sanford & Son, it's Mumford & Sons...




Mumford & Sons are out of West London, and have been around since 2007, and took their love of folk, bluegrass, and country to create their debut album Sigh no More ... big fan of the sound... It's like the Once Soundtrack Meets Kings of Leon and then they both decided to have tea with The Greencards. Btw... Have you ever had tea with a true Brit? You are supposed to have milk in your tea... well unless it's Earl Grey tea... then you can use the more traditional lemon. Its weird at first but you get used to it. Just thought you should know because knowing is half the battle.

Listen: Mumford & Sons" Little Lion Man"



Watch:




Dammit, I still got Sanford and son on the brain. I'm comin' Elizabeth! I'm coming to join ya!....

A collection of Sanford & Son Heart attack scenes....





And the theme song. cause it has to be done

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. THis aint the race for chase

Imagine my surprise when I was sitting around writing robot code as I usually do... listening to my play list, when I hear some music that tweaked my interest. I say to myself... Self... this should be posted. Then I look at the title to see that it is Dale Earnhardt Jr. My first thoughts.. where "Whoa... I always figured him for a more southern rock or country kind of guy". Then I decided there is no way this could be Junior. Between playing with his classic cars, and constantly losing races, there is no way he could have the time.




Well turns out that it was actually Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and they are a band out of Detroit. Which I guess is a clever name for a band from Detroit...naming themselves after a race car driver. They have a a new EP out called Horse Power. Oh the puns never stop. Regardless, they have a great happy sound which lies somewhere between Local Natives and Vampire Weekend.
