new music (via kcrw)

My iPod died a week ago, so I've been heavily leaning on my favorite online radio station, KCRW, to keep me musical company at work (Morning Becomes Eclectic in particular). In addition to playing great, new stuff, they also keep their entire playlist online so you're never left wondering what that song you just heard was.

Below is some of the stuff (not all of it is new) that I'm now addicted to thanks to KCRW:

• Goldfrapp - Fly Me Away


• Jose Gonzalez - Crosses and Heartbeats


• Magnet - Duracelia and Hold On


• Massive Attack - Protection (click "Protection" in the bottom menu, then "Music Player". They have a really cool website)


• Mozez - Feel Free

well i'll be damned

There's a strange feeling you get when you discover that a joke you love has a second meaning that's always been there, unbeknownst to you.

Case in point, I've always thought Family Guy's cover of Elton John's "Rocketman" is absolutely hilarious, but I just discovered yesterday that it's actually a parody of an eerie, 1978 William Shatner cover. Now I feel all weird inside.
