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!

Our Sweet Disposition...
Hey Everyone!! Hope you had a relaxing weekend!
The title of today's blog post refers to a song by one of our new favorite artists: Temper Trap. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, this band became the center of our attention after watching 500 days of summer not too long ago. "Sweet Disposition" was featured both in the trailer and in the actual movie. This song combines a bit of punk revival and alternative rock. Earlier this year they played for the ever-growing crowd @ Lollapalooza and even played with the great Mumford & Sons (HIGHLY recommended listening time). We hope you OP Fans enjoy this as much as we do...check it out.
If you're really digging this, we think you'll love Mumford and Sons just as much...it has a different feel, but definitely worth the listening time.

Back Again!
It's been a while since we've updated our OP blog, but now we're back and diving in head first!!
We wanted to start off our post today with some throwback jams: one of our favorite British rock groups who graced the main stage at last year's Superbowl is The Who. Everyone knows the song "My Generation" and we think it is the perfect representation for our OP fans.
Check out the video below and tell us what you think!
