do not delay in checking out the hot new episode on Murder, She Podcasted. like murder? like angela lansbury? like music? then you will love Episode 91, “The Sins of Cabot Cove.”
be sure to check out all the other episodes too. each podcast corresponds to a different episode of the 80s show Murder, She Wrote and the playlists are so beautifully curated. it’s what we at action potential are writing the Great American Blog to!
from the second i heard the autotune in ke$ha’s pop hit, i knew it was just a matter of time til it was set to the obligatory star wars theme.
just KNEW it.

in brazil, this 8-year-old kid actually exists. what’s scarier is the existence of her parents who encourage her to wear black lipstick and dance and sing poorly to lady gaga’s songs about debilitating obsessions. at one point, the parents must have even suggested that the kid crawl sexily around on the floor. very classy.
at the same time, i love a world where this kid exists, so long as she remains in another hemisphere.

ahh, the immortal words of a snot-nosed hipster on the wrong side of the law. there is very little funnier than watching vapid hipsters try to sound not-stupid in a courtroom. it’s like watching a walrus try to drive a car, only funnier. here, kate levitt of teeth mountain and jonathan coward of shams battle it out over three smashed broken tvs and a dead cat, a casualty supposedly quickly buried in a shoe box by a drunk levitt. witness the judicial system at work while shedding a tear for our future.
in all of this, i have to wonder, is this is a prank, some brilliant publicity stunt, a rip on the modern justice system, a rip on daytime television masquerading as the modern justice system?? because if it is i wholeheartedly love these people now. the world just got a lot brighter since entertaining the idea that maybe these dumb kids aren’t so dumb after all.
somebody pick me up and dust me off—i just fell in love with 18 ladies and their 18 banjos.

i can’t stop listening to this track. let it be officially known that action potential fully hearts and endorses lady gaga.
UC berkeley a cappella group performs lady gaga’s “poker face.”
KILLS IT.
i’ll have to revise my negative opinions of a cappella groups/singers. apparently they are not categorically lame.
it’s been almost two years since chromeo released any new work, but they’ve finally broken their silence with their new single ‘night by night.’ in collaboration with Green Label Sound (a flimsy front for mountain dew which is apparently now targeting indie/hipster kids instead of EXTREME SNOWBOARDERS these days), chromeo’s ‘night by night’ is vocoder-rich and dancey, but it doesn’t sound a whole hell of a lot different from their releases of ‘04 and ‘07. still, i’m big fans of these guys, even if they tend to repeat themselves.
also, dave 1: HAWWWWWWT.
but mountain dew, for real?? that’s the biggest disappointment here.
download ‘night by night‘ or stream it at green label sound, if you dare to do the dew.
you guys know how much i love this song by now, don’t you? and there are ABSOLUTELY NO CATS in the filming of this video!
buy the whole phenomenal album here.
i LOVE this song and i love to dance to it in my room, blithely throwing around all of my clothes like a wanton drugstar.
recognize that rappress? it’s lady tigra from l’trimm.
their self-titled album came out in late june on friendly fire recordings, so go buy it!
pandora is great for discovering new music by artist or song, but if you want to discover music by city, there’s citysounds.fm, where you can browse the music scene of over 30 major cities.
citysounds.fm was developed by swedish music geekazoids Henrik Berggren and David Kjelkerud during london’s Music Hack Day. by using the audio platform from soundcloud.com they’re able to stream a constantly updated supply of city-specific music giving users an auditory travel visa to cities like belgrade, helsinki, london, even nashville.
fortunately there’s never a cover charge, so if you don’t like what’s playing in one city, you can hop on your mouse over to one in another hemisphere.

there is nothing i love to do more than to blast this song out my car, rolling down the street, laid-back, sippin on gin and juice:
charles aznavour- for me…formidable
i can listen to the shit out of this song:
nat shilkret- that’s my weakness
recorded in 1928
