Lissy Trullie. RECOGNIZE.
Why hate Lissy Trullie. She’s lives in New York City, she’s a former model, a cool haircut, her own band released an EP at the start of the year, she toured with The Virgins for it, and is in preparation to release a full length album for early 2010. Not only that! She’s on the cover of this month’s ION Magazine.
Damn.
What makes Lissy so charming? She’s a down to earth, breezy, woman with a great attitude and a great haircut. She has done covers of Biz Markie’s Just a Friend and Hot Chip’s Ready for the Floor. A Down To Earth mentality coupled with extensive touring and determination towards making it as a musician is why we love her! She wants to be and do everything.

Lost But Found

I feel embarrassed that I’ve completely ignored this song for years. Things just get lost in the shuffle.
It reaches out and pulls you in every time. Amazing.

MTV should always serve alcohol
This song is a dedication to Mr Kanye West.

Phil Collins May Never Drum Again!!
Somewhere, Patrick Bateman and Mike Tyson are shedding a single tear.
“Collins told the paper that, after years of sitting in a certain position to play drums, his vertebrae were crushing his spinal chord. He had surgery for the situation, but the end result is that he cannot hold his drumsticks.
Phil told the paper, It comes from years of playing. I can’t even hold the sticks properly without it being painful. I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through.
But don’t worry, I can still sing.”
At least there’s that.
Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight
Blanket
Toro Y Moi is a 23 year old from North Carolina, via Columbia. He has two albums slated for 2010 and has released a couple of tracks from them. Very ACish, and layered like a warm blanket.
