laughs, tunes, stuffs...

I'm not exactly feeling 100% today, but it's for the right reasons.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the twisted humor of Daniel Tosh, Dane Cook, and next hottest thing, Taylor Bos last night at the Laugh Factory on Sunset. It was a late show, and I definitely exceeded the 2 drink minimum the club enforces, so forgive me if the commentary doesn't match the content and this post lacks any remarkable charm or wit. Just figured it was time to throw some stuff up on the ol' blog since.. I haven't all month, and time's running out.

First, here's a clip from one of T Bos' performances earlier this month. If you're smart, which I assume you are because you're reading this, you will make a point to see one his next shows before he completely blows up to become a mega superstar.

Check it.





Annnd.. here's a few less about laughing, more about dancing things that have caught my ear lately.




I heard this song at a party months ago but only recently found out it was Dragonette. Isn't that the best? Such a small, yet substantial personal victory.

Listen.

Dragonette - I Get Around (Midnight Juggernauts remix)



Two Door Cinema Club




These kids hail from Ireland and have been blowing up here in the states. I already impulsively bought tickets to their upcoming show at the Troubador in May. I'll probably still be in recovery from Coachella, but I don't think I will be disappointed. And I've yet to hear passion pit do a less than awesome remix. Seriously. I dare someone to prove me wrong.

Radness.

Chew Lips.


Chew Lips. Also, fantastic. South London dance pop trio. The lead singer's name is Tigs. What more do you need?

Listen.
(via shambles)

Chew Lips - Play together



And speaking of UK awesomeness, my girl Marina just continues to kill it. All her music is just so spooky and wonderful. It's like being on some acid trip in a fun house... or something.




Listen.

Marina and the Diamonds - Oh No





Well.. there you go. Hope I was able to shed some nourishing light on your Wednesday afternoon. Go see the talented Taylor Bos perform his next show if you're in LA.

And hopefully a few of these artists will find their way to your ipod. Or maybe not. I don't really care. I'll try to make my next post less hungover.
