Bad Lamps - Never Know the Difference

This fan-made music video is composed entirely of non-sexual scenes from porn flicks. Somehow, it works out brilliantly.

Funny to discover a band this way, but I like their sound. Check out more tracks at http://badlamps.bandcamp.com/

Really digging this album so far. Sounds like my favorite parts of MGMT.

The National - Exile Vilify

Between this (from the soundtrack to Portal 2) and Think You Can Wait (from the soundtrack to Win-Win), The National are on a serious non-album roll.

The Hold Steady - Constructive Summer

Last one. This song is the reason you hear people ordering “double whiskey, coke, no ice” in bars before/after THS shows. For the record, that drink is fucking vile.

The Hold Steady - Chillout Tent

Day 6 brings us the song with one of my favorite THS verses:

She looked just like a baby bird
     all new and wet and trying to light a Parliament.
He quoted her some poetry
     he’s Tennyson in denim and sheepskin.
     He looked a lot like Izzy Stradlin.
They started kissing when the nurses took off their IVs
     It was kinda sexy but it was kinda creepy. 
Their mouths were fizzy with the cherry cola
     They had the privacy of bedsheets
     All the other kids were mostly in comas.
