SXSW Eventbrite Arcade Party

I'm really liking this lineup.  Unknown Mortal Orchestra are excellent and I'm digging on the new Chairlift album.

Under the Radar SXSW Parties!

Once again, Under the Radar magazine has curated another insane lineup for SXSW this year.  They make me want to forget all of the other parties and just camp out for this one.   Love the poster too!  No RSVP for this one (free Sapporo beer too!), just show up early for entry.  Set times and more info here.  

Where Have I Heard This?

At work the other day I heard a familiar song on the radio. Where had I heard the song? Why was I humming along to the chorus? I looked at the XM box to find out the artist's name.

Chairlift.
Kind of a silly name.

Then I realized I had heard the song on an Apple commercial for the new, colorful iPod nanos. It's amazing the ability Apple has to cherry pick catchy songs for their commercials: Songs that stick with you, whether you like them or not. Past ads have featured Feist, The Ting Tings and Yael Naim.

I have to admit, I kind of like this little ditty.

Check out the commercial for yourself.
