Samtastic! Review: Dear Companion by Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore

So this album is amazing and really good. It's high spirited, say's something, and the vocal harmonies are right on. I got mine the other day and haven't turned it off. There are 2 videos here of in-store performances by Ben Sollee & Daniel Martin Moore, the quality is ok. I highly recommend listening to this album and then buying it.

There is also this:

Samtastic! Review: Coldest Winter by Kanye & Nabil Elderkin

I had nothing to do with this, obviously, just appreciate the shear awesomeness that is Nabil Elderkin and Kanye West, especially when they are working together. I just can't even understand what it must feel like to be this good.

Kanye has a new blog too: http://www.kanyewest.com/home/

My favorite quote:

"My wife's had cable television installed," he sighs. "This is where it starts to go wrong and we all end up as junkies." - Chris Keating

Samtastic! Review: LaRoux on Tout Le Monde En Parle

I always like what she's got to say, and even though most of this is in French, she speaks in English and makes a lot of sense.

Samtastic! Review: Vampire Weekend's video for Giving Up the Gun

Ok, so more wine and def chocolate at this hour (3:28 AM) is always a brilliant idea...but I love my blog and this song's video came out and I wanted to post it...


***THIS video is horrifying, I mean come on, Joe Jonas and Jake Gyllenahalll?!?!?!!??!!? THIS SONG IS SOOOOO GOOD, why the need for the celebrities? They ruin the crap out of this video. The concept isn't even that bad, the tennis thing could have worked, but this is just mostly ALL WORNG!!!

This is honestly one of my favorite songs off this album too... such a shame that they are trying to be trendy (or trendier) for some reason.

Samtastic! Review: Them Crooked Vultures

Them Crooked Vultures is John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl and Josh Homme, what a great idea! Seems like these guys just want to play music...oh yeah, and they are all really good at it.

The love of my life has posted more words on Pitchfork, a wonderful place to say what you want, I love him forever and think you should too, he is the best.

Samtastic! Review: Yeasayer ONE

This song is my life's anthem right now, my album has finally shipped and I think all of you who have not checked out this band yet are CRAZY, and should do it now. This song has amazing lyrics for anyone who has been in a relationship that was one sided...Chris Keating is my new favorite vocalist

This album is truly amazing, please buy it, although the band seems to want you to have it anyway...mine is also awaiting shipping! Can't wait to see them on April 6th!

Samtastic! Review: Matt Duke

This is Matt Duke, check him out, adorable, and a great great voice. Philly and Jersey represent! Plus he makes an audience member cry in the second video below, now that is some strong emotion!
