Sebastien Tellier’s new album ‘Sexuality’ has been in stores for a while, but his first live NYC performance was this past week at Hiro and The Fader has a decent video.
The interesting thing, is that by stores, we mean just in American Apparel. You can buy it on iTunes, but it looks like only the “clean” version is on there and who wants that.
Their collective brand love makes total sense considering the man’s love of lame’, and the hot moaning that courses through his francosexalicious album. The sound is a modern sexual…

More and more I have been reading that celebrity is dead, and that more and more teenagers care less about celebrities. But what if everyone could be a celebrity?

Last weekend, we ventured to the 6th borough of Philadelphia (only an hour and half on the train people) to check out the Popped! Music Festival, and support Alexis Rosenzweig, a creative entrepreneur trying to bring a quality indie summer fest to the city of Brotherly Love (See her with shades and a walky-talky in pics below).
The lineup included Dan Deacon, Mates of State, and was headlined by indie darlings Vampire Weekend. The sun shown down and a quiet streets near Drexel University were closed down for the day long…

Sen. Dianne Feinstein from California got it right last night at the Senate slumber party:
“Does anyone believe, truly, that this war has gained us respect in the council of world nations…because if they do, they’re smoking something. There has never been a time when America has less credibility abroad than it does today.â€

Even though MCFGHT II was last month we can always look forward to next year’s karaoke showdown. We’re already getting inspiration from–where else–Japan.
Via thecoolhunter we’re seeing some karaoke clubs that could be either your heaven or hell. The rooms match the delirious spirit of karaoke we fell in love with, the dizzy riot that goes on in your head when you’re leading a room of friends through “Freebird.â€
What we want to see next, maybe at Arlene’s Grocery: mariachi-only karaoke night. You+full mariachi band=new resolve to live.

So much ambiance and excitement for only $8.

Hosted by Kurt Braunohler and featuring the championship blend of Dewar’s scotch whisky and music by Snack and C’mish from Turntable Lab, MCFGHT II was a knock-down, drag ‘em-out-in-the-street battle, the likes of which NYC has never seen. The results may have been hotly contested, but there is no doubt the karaoke…
