The Cool Kids: "Popcorn" and "Champions"

The Cool Kids are making some unbelievably good hip-hop right now. If you don't already have it, get last year's Bake Sale EP which is full of retro beats and summer jams. Later this year, Chuck Inglish and Mickey Rocks are going to release their first LP, When Fish Ride Bicycles. But before that drops there will be a new mixtape "Gone Fishing" which will hit the internet on Monday. Here are the first two leaked tracks "Popcorn" and "Champions." Both are really good, not as mind blowing as When Fish Ride Bicycle's first single "Pennies," yet they should be enough to hold you over until the LPs release.

They haven't released any summer dates yet other than the All Points West Festival in NY but if you get the chance to see them don't miss it. I caught them at last year's Outside Lands festival in SF and their set was one of the most fun of the weekend.

Edit: Here's the full mixtape if you don't already have it

The Lots of Thigns Post

We haven't posted in a while so here's mega post to make up for it.

In the meantime. If you missed the Knux at BU Central last week. You missed this. Jump to 3:40 for some good times.


If the movie is as half as good as this trailer, Where the Wild Things Are is going to be my favorite movie of all time.

Things: Band Bracket & YouTube Videos

So tomorrow is an important day. The NCAA Tournament begins at noon and ushers in weeks of little productivity as we watch games and root for schools like North Dakota State and Western Kentucky. In honor of this month the blog "We Listen For You" created a bracket of bands in its own tournament. Apparently they did this last year (Radiohead won!) and it seems cool. Here is the link, so if you feel like you need a break from deciding your 5-12 upset this is a good time waster.

Also, here are two great videos:




Ok. Make sure to listen to the show on Sunday. I will have a megapost of old shows on Sunday night as well.
