If you haven’t given Parks & Recreation a chance yet, go now—it’s free on Hulu so you don’t have an excuse not to. And if you already have, the show’s really grown into its own. So try again. Ron Swanson‘s become one of my favorite characters on TV the web. The guy knows how to eat. (Thanks, Mel)
Just like the Best Coast x Wavves song this one’ll definitely make your holiday mix. Even better, you can download The Christmas Gigfree from Target. You don’t even have to shop there. Isn’t that rad?
M. Ward also contributed to another benefit, a triple-disk tribute to Led Zeppelin for First Octave, a group who helps provide the Portland Public School system funds for music. A fantastic cause.
Not the first time Best Coast has collaborated for a corporate-sponsored release. Remember the Kid Cudi x Best Coast track for Converse? Now they’re doin’ a holiday Christmas jingle.
Though I’m not a fan of Target, for me, gone are the days when musicians were considered sell outs for appearing on a big-business comp like this. It’s exposure. So now that you’re exposed, go buy their album at Mexican Summer records and see them live. (via Damien)
Volume 1 of “Luck” is like Faces of Near-Death. Instead of a pummeling Death Metal Roostër soundtrack, it features the funky cool of Trent Reznor‘s side project with former West Indian Girl and present wife Mariqueen Maandig.
