The Wall Street Journal reports a tentative deal has been reached by a majority of commissioners at the Federal Communications Commission to approve the merger of XM and Sirius.  Well it’s about time! 

We’re excited to see The Album Leaf perform tomorrow night. They’re one of our favorite bands and we should know, we spent years managing and licensing their music. Here’s a short documentary we put together in release of their most recent album, “Into The Blue Again”.  And yes, that title is from the Talking Heads.

Bouncy, upbeat pop music just in time for summer.  If you haven’t been clued in to Black Kids, here’s your chance.  Download the single “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You” as you gear up for their major-label debut on July 22.

Filmmakers and musicians collaborating makes for a good recipe in my book.  Case in point: Austin via Costa Mesa duo Sounders.  Watching their latest video proves you can do more with creative imagination and a greenscreen than most bands with big budgets and even bigger heads.  Seeing how much fun these guys had makes me:
1.  jealous
2.  a fan without even hearing the record
Read the play-by-play and watch the video at Fecal Face.
 

Lots of new music on the way this summer from My Morning Jacket, Albert Hammond Jr, Styrofoam and one of the most unique bands of all, Iceland’s Sigur Ros.  To experience them live is something very special but in the meantime, enjoy yourself a free download of their new single and NSFW music video.
