You won’t see me post many clips from Ellen, for the same reason you won’t see clips from The View. However, as a supporter of the Approve 74 campaign in Washington State, and a fan of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, I share this moving performance of “Same Love” from the duo’s new album Heist.   

If you’re a voter in Washington, please vote to Approve Referendum 74.

Joss Whedon fans, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but he is supporting Mitt Romney for President. The above video gives some solid reasons why Whedon is supporting Whedon. Frankly, it’s hard to argue against him. Though I think I’ll still cast my ballot for Barack Obama; the candidate that does not want the zombie apocalypse.

Shivering Timbers are an Akron, Ohio-based trio fronted by married couple Sarah and Jayson Benn. Discovered by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys when they performed at his birthday. Auerbach was so enthralled by the band that he produced their debut album.

“Generations” comes from the band’s sophomore release, Sing Sing, available digitally on Amazon.com, iTunes or on CD at shiveringtimbers.com.

I was introduced to yOya by a friend who is involved with Project Snowball, a music sharing community built on the premise of promoting great artists to friends. The duo is from Corvalis, Oregon but relocated to LA where the cities electronic music affected their folk music stylings to create a great mix that is reminiscent of bands like Of Monsters and Men and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes.

Their 2010 debut album Nothing to Die is available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon.com.

Any player/coach in Seattle that really thinks they won that game has zero integrity as a man and should be embarrassed.—

TJ Lang is a douche. Any player/coach who allows eight sacks in one half of football should be embarrassed.

Mr. Lang, you should remind MD Jennings about what to do in a Hail Mary situation: bat the ball down, don’t try to catch it.

The Green Bay Packers lost to the Seattle Seahawks not because of a bad call at the end of the game, but because they didn’t play particularly well.

Three Loco is Dirt Nasty, Andy Milonakis and Riff Raff. Their debut release, a 7-song EP, will drop September 4th. A 3-song EP is available for free here.

New wave stalwarts Devo have finally released their ode to Seamus Romney, who was famously tied to the roof of the Romney family car on one of their road trips in 1983. The band says they don’t have a full album in the works, but are not against posting songs as they are created.

Bloc Party have ended their hiatus and will release the band’s fourth album, aptly titled Four on August 20th. They are streaming the album now on their website. Head over to four.blocparty.com to check it out.

The band had been leaning electronic on their last two albums, in particular Intimacy, but on Four we see them abandon that almost entirely, along with their dancey hooks, for a more straight ahead rock sound. While a different sound than previous releases this works well, and I think most fans will find it refreshing.
