Sound Supply

There is a cool new company called Sound Supply, that is giving us a new way to purchase music.  10 albums for $15.  This bundled deal is a fun way to get cheap music and to give some new sounds a chance.  Their first bundle includes several artists that have been previously featured here on IHYEB, including Coconut Records (Jason Schwartzman), Colour Revolt,  Sophie Madelein, and Andrew Dost (Anathallo, Fun.).  If they can continue to get quality artists to contribute, this project could be a big deal.

Gotye – “Somebody That I Used To Know”

Posted: January 30th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Music Video of the Week | Tags: , | No Comments »

Here is my current obsession.  I have been playing this tragic break-up tune on repeat for the past couple of weeks.  I’m probably going wear it out soon, and I am pretty sure I’ve already ruined it for several of my friends. I don’t really care for all of the remixes and covers that have been floating around for this song. There is just something addictive about the original, and Kimbra’s short little bridge leading into the second chorus about gives me goosebumps every time. Well that’s enough from me, just watch the video and let me know what you think of my current favorite song.

Bon Joviver

Posted: January 24th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Articles About Music | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

Indie rock band, Miracles of Modern Science,  have given the internet world a fun little treat with their new mini-project, Bon Joviver.  They have taken the musical stylings of Bon Iver and combined them with the classic 80′s pop tune, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, written  by, of course, Bon Jovi.  Thus, giving us the name, Bon Joviver.  Short and silly, but very entertaining.  I’m pretty surprised that Jimmy Fallon hadn’t already come up with this.
