Fang Island

Sorry bout the late post. I was having some server issues again. I thought maybe "the man" shut me down again, but its all good. you know what else is good. Blizzards from Dairy Queen. and the fact that ACL lineups get announced tomorrow. its a very exciting day. I think I need a fist bump. or perhaps just an old school high five. Perhaps even a Goose and Maverick Special. You know who describes their music as "everyone high fiving everone"? That's right... it would be Rhode Island born and Brooklyn based band Fang Island. And I would not be surprised one bit if when the lineup is announced, they are on it. They released their self titled album this year. And seriously... they really kinda do sound like that. Its a weird mix of guitar rock and pop... like Sum41 meets Vampire Weekend.


Check it out.

Friday VOTD dump

What... I did a cover yesterday. So I was scouring for videos the other day and you know what I found out... MTV still has videos... well sort of... I guess they've become kind of a hulu of videos now. but whatever. I found an XX and a Minus the Bear video there











In other news...
I kinda like this video from Mayer Hawthorne..





and this one from Tame Impala



and we will close up with a little Avi Buffalo




oh wait... I wanted to post this she wants revenge video too.....




K. Now I'm done.

CC Sheffield

Ok, I'm gonna do things all sorts of backwards today... first of all CC Sheffield isn't local, and furthermore, I'm going to post a cover... normally reserved for Friday. Why you say? I dunno. Because I can. You're not the boss of me. Who is this girl you ask? Yeah I don't really know. I think Cydney Celeste grew up in Arizona, but moved to LA to be a star. Gotta Few gigs doing bit parts in sitcoms and starring in music videos and then started a band called Le Rev and released an album called Tales of Running Away. Now she's gone solo. Still doing some Acting... in fact she actually had a role on True Blood my favorite vampire show. She's doing some Work with DJ Tiesto and getting to play Coachella and DJing the pre-chella festivities. Her new upcoming album is called Golden Grime and it should be out sometime this month.

I think I like her cause she has that Lily Allen/Peaches Naughty pop lyrics and attitude. I also Like that she has like her own logo. That's just ballsy. Nevertheless I'm posting a cover of "Lust for Life" By Girls, a little silly video she did, and the video of the song she did with DJ Tiesto. yeah its a bit poppy.

Interpol

Today on You got Booned, we have Interpol... the New York based re-incarnation of Joy Division. Ok maybe not the re-incarnation but they did sound a lot like them when they first started... in fact they were the first to have the post-punk post-goth sound.... it would be later emulated by She Wants Revenge and others, but Interpol did the whole retro thing first. And now they are seasoned veterans... signed to Capitol Records and getting to release their fourth album (where this song comes from). They are alls grown up. And sometimes grown ups need to go their separate ways. That's why Carlos D (bassist and keyboards) decided to call it quits after completing this album. He and his 'stache whill move on to bigger possibly better things.

Ancient Crux

Busy Busy Day today... only a little bit of time to talk to you about Ancient Crux ... a cali band that like a phoenix basically rose from the ashes of another band called Rapid Youth. Last year they released an EP called Interracial Coupling and it got a little buzz... enough for Half Machine to pick them up on their level. I like the sound.. Lo fi pop punk that could fit right in with the Sun Records crowd, or open up for an 80's Violent Femmes or a 9o's Weezer... back when Weezer was cool.

Via Tania

Via Tania is the performance name of Tania Bowers, a sydney born native who's kinda been hanging around the Windy City music scene for pretty much the past decade. However it was playing a show back in Australia when she bumped into the big ol' Texan Craig Ross, who swept her back to Austin to produce her second album of goodies called Moon Sweet Moon. And I'm glad this happened... what was created was a brilliant sound... a bit gloomy at times, a bit loungy, but always good. Here is my equation for this sound.

(a bit of Tom Waits Moodiness - Tom's Voice and lots of his genious ) + (MGMT with a little less synth) + (A dash of Poe) + (Cat Power Purr) + (a smidgeon of Bjork quirky sound)

Not to mention shes got a kinda St. Vincent meets Rachel Bilson meets Busy Phillips look to her. lil bit.
