Oh man! I love a good music festival, and I just stumbled across one that may be the best in the world this year. The list of bands I’d quite like to see includes Röyksopp, Whitest Boy Alive, Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes, Sugarhill Gang, Okkervil River, Madness, Marina & The Diamonds, MGMT, Zero 7, Orbital, and even Flock of Seagulls! Such a great lineup! Now I just need to get a lot more money, a ticket to Europe, and I’m good to go!

Check out the concert site here.

For today’s Terrible Tuesday, I bring you Yatta! Such a happy, very strange video. I did a little research on this awesomeness. Turns out it was done as a humorous song by a comedy group, but actually reached #6 on the Japanese charts. Another good point the wiki brings up is that the music is based on Pachelbel’s Canon in D. Neat!

I think having a weekly horrible music video is a great idea! I don’t know about you, but I really dig many of them, and I want to share my finds with the world. Most, I’ve found, have a redeeming quality, which is usually humor. Sometimes, they’re so bad that it’s fun to watch because of all the horrible.

So, I give you I Wanna Love You Tender by Mervi Vesala. I think the dude kind of looks like He-Man. I found this video years ago and still can’t get enough of it. Enjoy!

The Sounds are a Swedish band who have released two albums and have a third due to release in June 2009. Maja Ivarsson is the lead singer, and has a pretty recognizable voice. It’s not quite raspy, and I’m not sure what it is, but I dig it. How was that for a great description?

Anyway, they’ve got some quality music, great for listening to when you want to get some energy flowing through your ears. They just started their massive US tour where they’ll start in the Midwest, then on to California, then across the Southern states to where I’m at in Florida, then over to Europe for a bit. They finish things off with a long stay jumping all over California.

Check out the tour dates on their Myspace page.

Here’s a sample of my favorite song of theirs. I recommend increasing the volume of your speakers significantly. Enjoy Painted by Numbers:

Now, this wouldn’t really be that much of a music blog without referring to the video by The Lonely Island: Jizz in My Pants. So, here ya go, genius:

That’s been around for a little while now, but a response to that just showed up recently. Check out the female rebuttal to that video. So quality:

Here’s a neat video for your eyes and ears to enjoy! I don’t know much about any of this, but I intend on researching a bit more. The band is The Golden Filter, the song is Solid Gold, and Moop Jaw made the video. I don’t know what’s going on, all I know is I like it, and I like it loud! Click through to Vimeo for the HD version yo.

A good music lover always needs some musical paraphernalia. Goodbye Blue Sky just hooked up with AllPosters.com so that means I get to plug their stuff and make a couple of wooden nickels if my wonderful readers buy things from that site, woo!

So, I’m starting out with one of the greatest album covers of all time: Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here. I’ve sat and stared at this poster for probably many hours over the course of my life. I don’t even do any drugs and I still stare at the thing.

Go check it out.
