Welp, here we are facing a beautiful weekend here in the North East and after this week I am plum tuckered out. I have lots of goodies for you in the next few days but I thought I would bring this week to a close by sharing some bits from my in box that caught my eye.
Newness from Lookbook
I can’t tell you how bummed I am I missed Lookbook’s stop in Philly. They make the kind of revving pop music you should be pumping on beautiful spring days. They released their new single “Over and Over” this week and a video to really drive home how awesome they are.

Fresh for your weekend dance mix DJ duo Philadelphyinz have dropped House Of Yinz a mix “inspired by Doug Lazy, the Jungle Brothers, Sugar Bear and a lot of other rappers who made uptempo jams with bad puns on the word “house” on their albums in 1991.” It packs a six track wallop you’re sure to enjoy.

The concert calendar has some new exciting additions for you to check out. Chief among them next weekend’s Human BBQXXXII presented by Pilam. The line up is a mixed bag of awesome. If you haven’t see Pink Skull or Anamanaguchi they’re worth the price of admission but with BBQ included I can’t imagine a valid excuse not to come early and catch These United States, Netherfriends and The Extraordinaires, amongst others. These are the kind of event’s Spring was made for so get out there and enjoy.
And finally to round out this random wander through my in box I give you Koot Hoolmi’s Hall & Oates cover project The Dark Side Of Hall & Oates. There is really no other place to file this other than in the curious and unexpected file. Koot Hoolmi is an artists collective who decided to cover the famous duo’s classic hits using unusual harmonies, minor key digressions and, of course, Tuvan throat singing. The result is interesting enough to give it a full listen and if you like the taste go buy the full tribute over at CD Baby.
