HTTM

Or...Hot Tub Time Machine. While watching this movie, which is positively hilarious, we came across one of our old favorites Talking Heads. In some form or another, I'm sure you've come across the brilliance that is their music. This group has a tumultuous past, but nonetheless has produced some of the greatest music of all time. The rock group started in the early 70's and continued to produce until 1991 when the band announced their split. Another husband and wife duo, such as Arcade Fire, comprised this group. Today's jam is none other than "Once in a Lifetime." You may ask yourself...how did I get here?

WAKE UP!!

WAKE UP!! IT'S MONDAY. Whether you're in school or work, Monday mornings stink :( Arcade fire rocks the song "wake up," which you may have heard from the "Where the Wild Things Are" soundtrack. Arcade fire is an awesome indie rock ban based in Montreal, Quebec. What's cool is the husband and wife duo that started the band! How many bands do you know that feature such a unique thing?! "Wake up" was originally released only on 7" vinyl, but has since been a worldwide hit. If you like...try listening live, the acoustics are INSANE!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday OP fans. To welcome in the weekend, we've chosen an electronic jam band that hails from Philadelphia. The Disco Biscuits are a truly eclectic band; they incorporate elements from several music genres, including electronic and rock. During the summers you can find many biscuits fans camping out at their music festival "Camp Bisco." They attract a diverse audience mainly because each song is so different from the next and everyone can find something they enjoy...we just love them. Enjoy this song "fish out of water." Let us know what you think!

Coachella 2011

It is about that time! The Coachella lineup has officially been announced!! Sadly, one of our favorite house superpowers Daft Pank will not be taking the main stage this year. However, and this is a good however, the lineup is SICK!!!! We couldn't be more thrilled with the announcement. Headlining this years shows are Duran Duran, Arcade Fire and the Strokes. Our favorite Mumford and Sons will be performing as well!! Other headliners include Pearl Jam, who is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of their landmark album "Ten" this year. We always love us some Pearl Jam. Let's start off the afternoon with one of their classic songs from the album "Ten."

Are You Afraid of Ghosts?

Maybe mice? Dead Mice?

We kid...maybe. Deadmau5 has got us crazy in our cubicles this week. Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known by his stage name Deadmau5, is a Canadian house producer based in Toronto, Ontario. He not only works solo, but has produced alongside house sensations Kaskade and Rob Swire. Our favorite Deadmau5 track this week is titled "Ghosts N' Stuff." The beat is fresh and totally unique. We think this song exemplifies pure electro beat and we can't stop listening. Let us know what you think!
