Friday VOTD - Vampire edition

My god there are a lot of vampire shows on these days. Personally I'm a fan of True Blood and I plan on making a true blood inspired mixtape one of these days, but those twilight people... they got every girl and teeny bopper excited. And even if their sissy lala Vampires won't have sex before marriage, they can sure pick a soundtrack. Now if only they could figure out how to politely give Kristen Stewart acting lessons.

So here are my bunch of Vampire related videos... some of them stretch, but hey just enjoy the videos and get off my back! I don't need your abuse! You're not the boss of me...

..whoa sorry... got carried away there.., and on with the show....

Not the official Video mind you, but I have to share the song... Bat for Lashes and Beck collaborate for the Eclipse soundtrack and its an awesome song.



Here's a cool video from Black Mountain - Old Fangs




Another Sweet one from Woods - Death Rattles




Here's another strange little video by experimental metal band Ghengis Tron - Endless Teeth. Get it?



I guess you can count a vampire movie as a Monster Movie right? well here's Monster Movie - Bored Beyond Oblivion




And finally, new music from the Suckers.

Washed Out

Today's edition of You Got Booned features the music of the cartoon network. Seriously. Adult Swim has put out some mad tunes in their lifetime, and I think it all started with Danger Doom back in the day when Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Robot Chicken were the thing to watch. Now they are doing an Adult Swim Singles Promotion with Kia to put out 8 singles in 8 weeks for download.

Week 4 was the song "You and I" by Washed Out, featuring Chairlift’s Caroline Polachek. In case you don't know who Washed Out is... it is one guy... A one man band named Ernest Greene who made some damn fine music out of his bedroom. I guess there is one caveat though... He was in town not long ago... I had to miss the concert but Guy was quick to point out that because he's only one guy some equipment, he's not that exciting to see live. And I would expect that, since he's really got that Chillwave sound that is more suited for a loungy trendy scotch bar. Well, Boon Loved the song and requested I post and I agree with him. It reminds me a little of New Order or even Kenna from back in the day.


Listen: Washed Out" You and I "





And for shits and giggles I'm posting week 5's song too. The Black Lips are kinda of hit or miss, but when they hit, they knock it out of the freakin park.

Listen: Black Lips" Before you Judge Me "

Cymbals Eat Guitars

Cymbals Eat Guitars is another band out of New York, but unlike everybody else that's hot these days, they aren't from Brooklyn... They are actually from Staten Island. However nobody really cares unless you are actually from one of the boroughs. Regardless the latest album Why There Are Mountains was really well reviewed... I'll have to get back to you on my review however, because I haven't quite made it all the way through. However I really love the track "Wind Phoenix"... it's a Wilco meets a not so weird Architecture in Helsinki with a dash of Apples in Stereo.

Here ya go:

Listen: Cymbals Eat Guitars" Wind Phoenix "

VOTD - Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours

Today its more about the video than the song... the song is pretty good... kind of a throwback to the Hall and Oates eighties... but this is a freaking cool video Directed by Irina Daveka from Wizz animation studios in France. Ooh la la. It ain't your average rotoscope... Over 2000 handpainted watercolor paintings were used. Craziness.

Montezuma's Revenge Mixtape

Boon is in vacation in beautiful Riviera Maya Mexico probably sipping tequila with his toes in the sand. Or more than likely he's lying on the beach naked and sunburned.






Meanwhile I'm stuck here trying make a deadline. Where is the fairness in that? Well for all of you peeps that like me don't get to be wasted in Mexico this week, I put together a lil' mixtape of the burgeoning indie scene in Monterrey and other parts of the country. So buy some cheap tequila for margaritas, turn on the mixtape, and watch as Mexico takes on France tomorrow in world cup action. It's almost the same. Ok maybe not, but like MGMT says, its time to pretend. Pretend time is fun. Oh and for an added bonus... a video from the Mexican Lily Allen... Natalia Lafourcade.

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

I know... I'm sorry I can't help it... another retro soul psychedelia band. But I've been meaning to post these guys for some time... actually ever since Gabe and I were talking about them back in College Station a few months ago.... Not to mention that they are on the ever fabulous ACL lineup. AND... Quite honestly the music fits in with my summer in the fun soundtrack theme. Besides, being 60s retro is the rage these days. just like being 80s retro was last years theme. However, Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros aren't your every day nostalgic hipsters riding the latest wave... I honestly think its more of a lifestyle choice. Alex Ebert of Ima Robot essentially created the essence for the band... his alter ego Edward Sharpe... after a bad breakup and a bout with addiction, and drawing his inspiration from Bob Dylan and Donavon, and with his resurrected life as Sharpe, gathered his band of merry musicians including the awesome vocals of Jade Castrinos to tour the world in a white school bus with a bus driver named Cornfed. Now that's a lifestyle. Actually some might call it a cult... Kinda like the Bright and Shiny kids from Bubble Boy. Bright..... and Shiiineeeeee....

Here is some stuff from the Self Titled Album. I know you are gonna hear a sixties folk and psychedelia influence, but you are also gonna hear some Journey in there. Sooner or later, it all comes back to Journey.

Listen: Edward Sharpe And the Magnetic Zeros " 40 Day Dream"

and just for shits and giggles... the Bright and Shiny cult. 'cause its stuck in my head now.

V. V. Brown

Another chick singer you may ask. Why yes. Yes it is. Part time fashion model / Singer Songwriter V.V. Brown is from the UK and she's definitely part of the retro-soul scene that was started by Winehouse and Duffy a few years back, and to a lesser extent the Pipettes. She's definitely one to watch as her jams seem to have staying potential as pop staples or soundtrack material... perhaps "Crying Blood" will show up on True Blood this season. Did you catch the premier. I was quite satisfied. The album is Traveling Like the Light.

Listen: V V Brown " Quick Fix"
