I just love this track.
I recently made a DIY Linear Tracking System and I used this song with my test footage. ↓
I love the way this video turned out and I give most of the credit to this song.

and here’s a live performance I found ↓

Out of the 3 SOTS The Big Pink‘s Velvet is by far the undisputed champion.  My wife would agree that we could both listen to this song on a loop all day long.  The Big Pink’s album A Brief History Of Love just hit the web and it’s indeed an amazing album.  I can’t wait to see them live!

SOTS – Das Racist “Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell” (Wallpaper. REMIX)

SOTS – Songs of the Summer
It’s been such a longtime since my last SOTW post I just decided to add my top 3 songs of the summer.
Also I just discovered that I have too many things to post for each song so I’m going to give each song it’s own post.

Das Racist “Combination Pizza Hut And Taco Bell” (Wallpaper. REMIX)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

First I have to note that Wallpaper. (the period is part of the name FYI)  made this song what it is today.  Yes, Das Racist created it… but it was nothing before Wallpaper. turned it to gold. This song is incredibly easy to sing, dance and eat along to.  My 3 year thinks she likes Taco Bell now because of this song! I should have a video of my kids singing along to the song but that would just be too predictable.
So here is a combination of videos about the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

and I just love this video

I first experienced Wallpaper. as the opening act at a Rye Rye and Thunderheist show. Everyone that night was amazing and the 20 other people in the audience also witnessed music history in that rat infested back alley venue in Philly.
I loved Rye Rye and Thunderheist but for me the auto-tunned Wallpaper stole the show.

Here’s an iphone pic from the show.

Wallpaper.

You can expect to hear a lot more of Wallaper. after his album Doodoo Face drops this month.

SOTW The Tallest Man On Earth “Honey Won’t You Let Me In”

It’s been a long time coming… My daughter tipped me off when she started requesting to hear “The Blizzard’s Never Seen The Desert Sands”.
I recorded this video of her singing along in my car. This was also the first video I recorded on my iphone using Cycorder.

It’s hard to pick just one song from the album cause they are all so good, and I usually listen to the album in it’s entirety…  but this is one of my faves.
