Here’s a new band that I’m really digging. I hope the singer recovers from his cancer quickly.

I might be biased because I worked them for a few years, but I really think 2011 will be Wallpaper.’s year.

NewVillager’s “LightHouse” video from their 2011 self-titled debut via IAMSOUND. I have to say, whoever designed these costumes is amazing because they are fantastic, especially considering the common items they were put together with.

If you’re my friend, you’ve probably already seen this video. But I’m posting it anyway. “Lotus Flower” from Radiohead’s new album.

I haven’t made it through the whole new Cut Copy album, but I have made it through the first few tracks and “Need You Now” is definitely the jam of this album.

This is my favorite song off Phantogram’s debut album. I’m glad it finally got a video. The bass when they perform this live is incredible.

This video is nothing special (actually it’s pretty bad), but the song is cool and Mogwai sound unbelievable live. This just reminded me it’s been way too long since I’ve seen them.

Here’s a trailer for Richard Press’ forthcoming movie on the original street photographer, Bill Cunningham. This man inspired all the street photographers, including The Sartorialist. I’m excited to see it. It opens March 16th from Zeitgeist Films.

There’s so much buzz around James Blake, and the man in poised for big things in 2011. This is my favorite song off his much anticipated debut album.
