As if you haven’t been counting down the days, we are on the brink of summer, ladies and gents! To celebrate, and in honor of Music Mondays, here’s a little playlist from us to you. Click HERE to stream it from our Grooveshark account and listen there. Good luck on finals!

1. Sinister Kid by The Black Keys
A preview off the amazing new album, Brothers, coming out May 18^th.

2. Keep Yourself Warm by Frightened Rabbit
With lines like “it takes more than fucking someone you don’t know to keep yourself warm” and “I’m drunk and you’re probably on pills,” what’s not to love?

3. Blood by the Middle East
A bittersweet song about faith, family, and death.

4. Home by LCD Soundsystem
From the album “This Is Happening,” coming out May 17^th.

5. Divisive by We Have Band
Let them spell it out for you.

6. Turpentine by Vandaveer
Raw vocals and sweetness.

7. I Am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds
“The Diamonds” does not refer to Marina’s band, it’s actually the American translation of her Greek last name, Diamandis, and is a little tribute to her fans.

8. Heaven’s On Fire by The Radio Dept.
Contrary to sex on fire.

9. Om Nashi Me by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Mumble jumble goodness.

10. Single Ladies by Pomplamoose
A cover of Beyonce’s original, with a burn thrown in – “don’t make me sing this part of the song, the lyrics are so bad, so we’re going to skip ahead to the single ladies part instead.”

11. Dance Floor by Apples In Stereo
A great song, with a great music video – featuring Elijah Wood. Watch it here.

12. No Fucking Around by Rafter
Rafter does not fuck around, simple as that.

13. Alligator by Tegan & Sara
I don’t know what relationship these twins have with alligators, but I like this song. And the music video. Watch it.

14. Southern Comfort by Arrah And The Ferns
Prettiness. Ooh la a la la oo, la la…

15. Airplanes by Local Natives
Local Natives just played in Atlanta this past weekend, and you bet your pretty little ass the UGAstyle team was in attendance. Missed the show? Catch them at Bonnaroo in June.

16. I Was Playing Drums by Efterklang
Watch the band from Copenhagen do their thing here.

17. Harmonix by Surfer Blood
Surfer Blood is on tour in Europe this month, but no worries, they come back to the States in June to begin their tour with The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

18. Young Adult Friction by The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
Just so you can know who TPOBPAH are.

19. What I Wouldn’t Do by A Fine Frenzy
If you’re an avid House watcher, you’ve heard her lovely female vocals without even knowing it. This girl is adorable, see for yourself.

20.  BTSTU by Jai Paul
Listen to this on loud through big headphones. Have noise canceling ones? Even better.

21. Boat Behind by Kings of Convenience
Not to be confused with Kings of Leon. Anyway, nerds are cool, and so is this video.

22. Howlin’ For You by The Black Keys
To end this playlist off right. Howlin’ For You, like the first song on this playlist, is also off the new album, Brothers. Make sure to buy it when it comes out May 18^th because it’s absolutely fantastic.

…NOW STOP PROCRASTINATING, LISTEN WHILE YOU WORK!

About three weeks ago, the UGAstyle team danced our little hearts out to Sweedish, electropop band, Miike Snow, at the Masquerade in Atlanta. Yes, Miike Snow is a band and not just one guy. Haven’t heard of them? If you’re an avid Jimmy Kimmel, Gossip Girl, or Pretty Much Amazing fan, you’ve heard ‘em. And who hasn’t heard “Toxic” by Britney Spears? Well, the Grammy-award-winning, production duo behind “Toxic” are members of Miike Snow. If you’re still lost (and even if you’re not), get acquainted:

(By the way, the show was originally set to be in Hell, the smallest space within the venue, but unexpected demand for tickets by eager masses persuaded the Masquerade to move things up to a larger and more Heavenly affair.)

The guys came out sporting full faced white masks, setting the tone for the night. There was something special in the air as a mad rad performance commenced.

Andrew Wyatt: lead singer and songwriter

Production duo: Bloodshy & Avant

The set was a perfect blend of original tracks off their self titled debut album, freestyle DJing and a psychedelic light show. This menage a trois made for a live performance that made our toes tingle & hearts pitter-patter. UGAstyle couldn’t have asked for more – killing three birds with one stone, we were thoroughly delighted by the concert, DJ performance and thus the dance party that ensued.

During the opening band, Deloreon, UGAstyle spotted lead singer Andrew Wyatt modestly sitting in the back. Of course, we had to go up to chit chat and snag a photo.

- Andrew (of Miike Snow) kicks back cool at the Masquerade in Atlanta. Though he sports a mask when hitting the stage, his everyday diggs are void of any disguise or mystery; strait forward and simple with a splash of rock and roll.
—————————————————————————–

Make sure to catch these guys live soon because they are destined for greatness. If you’re going to Bonnaroo this year, you’re in luck – they’ll be there.

– Find “Burial” and a Peter, Bjorn & John remix of “Animal” on UGAstyle’s Spring Scene playlist!

– Download free songs by Miike Snow and check out many other remixes at RCRD LBL.

Spring has sprung(ish) and with it has come an overwhelming bumper crop of fresh musical releases and tours. It would take weeks to gush over all of the deserving musical endeavors, so here is a tiny sampling of the musical magic that is gracing the first quarter of 2010:

Yeasayer Odd Blood (Feb. 9)

Brooklyn boys Yeasayer give us unbounded joy, madness, and everything in between with their sophomore  album Odd Blood.The new disc delivers hints of MGMT and Beck, acts the band toured with in 2008. However, the raw emotion and uninhibited experimentation on Odd Blood is entirely Yeasayer’s own. Speaking of uninhibited: if you like naked people, check out the music video for “Ambling Alp”.
The majority of the UGAStyle staff is attending Yeasayer’s April 6 show in Atlanta…you should, too!

Gorillaz Plastic Beach (Mar. 9)
The coolest cartoon duo since Beavis and Butt-head drops their third album, whose environmentally-conscious title refers to the plastic islands of the Pacific. Clearly, environmentalism is where it’s at – guest stars on Plastic Beach include Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Mos Def, De La Soul, Bobby Womack, and members of The Clash. Plastic Beach carries a heavy element that wasn’t as present on previous albums, but with engrossing beats, international influences, and wise lyrics, it doesn’t stop you from getting your trippy, avant-garde groove on.

Field Music Measure (Feb. 16)
This British group hasn’t had an album come out since 2007, so they’re making it up to us with the double album Measure. Thank god, ’cause over 2 years without fresh produce from Field Music has been even more distressing than the fact that Heidi Montag had a psychic manager. Mercifully, the band has flown under the hipster radar, so you won’t hear “Field Music” when you come across a Who-Knows-More-Obscure-Bands contest between 2 mustachioed folks sporting artfully moth-eaten couture.

However, we’ll pass on dishing out specifics because we don’t want some fop to win the Obscure Bands contest with the sacred sounds of Field Music. And with that, mum’s the word. Field Music is the most brilliant band on this list. Go do the legwork and see what we mean.

PS- If you champions of Obscure Bands really want to throw your opponent for a loop, just drop a name like Justin Bieber or Jason Derulo. They’ll pretend they’ve never heard of them just to preserve their reputation as an über-authentic music snob.

Broken Bells Broken Bells (Mar. 9)

The release that’s on everyone’s turntables right now is the debut of Broken Bells, a collaboration between James Mercer, the lead singer of indie rock gods The Shins, and former Athenian Brian Burton, AKA Danger Mouse. Don’t recognize Danger Mouse? Perhaps a list of acts he’s associated with will help jog that purple-hazed memory of yours…

Danger Mouse is half of Gnarls Barkley with Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob. The two actually met at a UGA show in 1998 when Danger Mouse was still an undergrad at UGA. That’s right – our very own campus can be credited with bringing Gnarls Barkley together! Danger Mouse really broke into the music scene in 2004 when he released The Grey Album, a mashup of The Beatles’ White Album and Jay-Z’s The Black Album. He’s had his hands in variety of projects since then, including producing Gorillaz album Demon Days (2005) and Beck’s Modern Guilt (2008).

Needless to say, Mr. Mouse knows how to give you an eargasm. Combine that with Mercer’s thoughtful lyrics, earnest delivery, and high vocal range and Broken Bells demands serious consideration. Always eager to obey, we seriously considered their debut album…and considered…and considered. AKA, we put that shit on repeat!

The first single “The High Road” is a song that seeps into your subconscious in a way that would make Pavlov proud; you fall under its spell before you even realize it. As a loop of an arcade game ditty heralds the beginning of “High Road”, you may even salivate. The arcade loops weave through a panoply of multi-layered instrumentation and melody that showcase Danger Mouse’s talent. Mercer belts out pure, melodic heart and then drops into a thoughtful, almost-defeated refrain; ultimately, it all combines to stir the soul.

Waxing poetic about “The High Road” is easy, but applying such unbridled enthusiasm to the entire album is not. Listen to Broken Bells without pause and at some point in the middle, you’ll find yourself feeling a bit ambivalent. It’s an incredibly solid work; it just isn’t as groundbreaking as some of the hype has made it to be.

Whatever your opinion of the album is, don’t make the mistake of thinking that Broken Bells is Danger Mouse remixing The Shins. It’s an insult to both men, who are artists in their own right. While one track may sound Shins-y, the next may carry DM’s signature. And maybe, just maybe, the tracks will dismiss your preconceived notions about what they should or shouldn’t sound like – they’ll just sound like Broken Bells.

Ruh-oh, you forgot it’s V-day. No fret, UGAstyle has got your back lack a sweater, ya hurrd?! Impress your boo with some lovely-dovey date night ideas, exclusive to Athens:

Are you a nature nut? Well, Mother Nature looks like she isn’t PMSing: Pack a picnic and venture to the Botanical Gardens for a backdrop that exudes romance all its own.

Be snazzy and classy: Dinner and a movie – wine n’ dine at The National. Follow up your meal with a quick flick @ Cine. Nibble on a 3 course, prix-fixe menu and then skip next door to the theatre for jazz and champagne. If you celebrate on Sunday, UGAstyle recommends opening your eyes to An Education.

Go the traditional and swanky route: Grab a cocktail at Highwire and then eat a delectable pre-fix dinner at Farm 255. Be prepared and satisfy your sweetie’s tooth by picking up hand-made, high-quality, locally-produced, independently-owned and operated, FRESH fresh chocolate treats from White Tiger Gourmet.

Day time celebration? Visit Canopy Studio and try out their special couple’s trapeze workshop (An intro to partner aerial dance on the trapeze. No experience necessary. Registration required.) 2–3:30 p.m. $40/couple.  Then go warm your belly and heart with some delicious Southern cookin’ at Mama’s Boy.

Homebodies: Release your inner Anthony Bourdain and impress your significant other by whipping up a make-together meal from Earthfare. After dinner, snuggle up for a delight from Vision Video (UGAstyle recommendations: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or stay classic with a quirky love story like Annie Hall)

…going solo in 2010? Pop the top with the bestest of friends & get tipsy while listening to a compilation of songs (some romantic…some not so romantic) from UGAstyle!

- Any time one of the Elephant 6 groups plays Athens, loyal fans flock in droves. Such is the case with Athens’ own of Montreal. Originally set to grace the Watt with glittering sparkles of creativity in a one night spectacular, the group had to add another night of theatrics to the docket. In an effort to avoid threats of flogging by those unlucky hopefuls bound to stand void of a golden ticket, of Montreal will not only be bringing the heat Thursday (Feb 4), but tonight (Wed, Feb 3), as well. There is a good reason both shows are sold out…these eccentrics are far from sell outs. of Montreal puts most live acts to shame. Front man Kevin Barnes has been known to perform naked while riding a horse onto stage.  We are expecting a slew of surprises and lysergic bliss. If you didn’t get to see the glimmer of that golden ticket, attempt to sell your soul – otherwise hear about the greatness through the grapevine. If all else fails – open up your ears to UGAstyle’s PLAYLIST to get yourself in the groove of Montreal.

of Montreal – Wed & Thurs (February 3 & 4)

The 40 Watt Club (285 West Washington Street)

Doors @ 8 (18+)

UGAstyle recently joined forces with BLVD Magazine & had the honor to hang out with the Modern Skirts. While in their midst, the Skirts teased us with a few new tunes off their upcoming “untitled” album, sat down for a hilarious, but enlightening interview, & got their inner Fabio out for a style rich photoshoot displaying some of their freshest threads (oddly enough, none of the members wore skirts.)

<<<For your listening pleasure, UGAstyle had each of the guys compile a few songs they’ve had ringing in their ears as of late>>>

Some are old, some are new & some are just down right weird: Check out the Modern Skirts PLAYLIST for yourselves.

Give yourself a well-deserved night of greatness, and catch the Modern Skirts play with Reptar & Thayer Sarrano this Saturday night, January 30, 2010 @ the fabulous 40 Watt Club (285 West Washington St).

18+ & doors open @ 9:30.

Tickets can be purchased downtown @ Schoolkids Records (264 East Clayton St) or online @ www.athensmusic.net.  Be sure to throw some love their way & Ch-Check. It. Out!

Behind the Scenes with the Modern Skirts

How do you make a land merry? Go to Baltimore. Here are just a few exports out of this harbor town:

1. Natty Boh, or National Bohemian beer. It tastes like Lady Ga Ga’s underwear, but its parent brewing company invented Colt 45 in 1963. Now that we can be thankful for!

2. John Waters, a visual genius. He made adult diaper sales spike with Pink Flamingos and then later released Hairspray…how does one transition from a film that makes people quite literally vomit on the spot- and then effortlessly transition to a movie that has you wrapped up in the high hopes of big-boned dancing diva?

3. Old Bay Seasoning: helping your taste buds hit the jackpot for over 70 years. You can sprinkle this jazz on seafood, fried food, popcorn, etc. etc. and it is a sure fire home run. You may think that you have no clue what it is, but you’ve probably had at least a tablespoon in the past week.

4. Frank Zappa. Beyond his dynamite career (“My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama“, “Eat That Question“, “The Voice of Cheese“, “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow“) he named his kids: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Damn.

5. Beach House. A Baltimore-based duo that consists of Alex Scally (guitar, keyboard & vocals) and Victoria Legrand (vocals & organ).

Wanna argue with us about #5? After putting Beach House’s upcoming album Teen Dream on repeat for the past month, contest is highly unlikely. They survived the sophomore slump and with their third studio album, it’s clear that they’re not slowing down. In fact, Teen Dream ups the tempo while preserving Legrand’s swooning vocals. Don’t worry- Beach House still boasts dreamy, ethereal magic that wraps you in a cocoon of layered sound. Legrand and Scally have just expanded their repertoire.

Teen Dream (Sub Pop) drops tomorrow. We endorse it. In the interest of allowing you to make an educated decision about how great this album is, we have sacrificed blood, sweat, and beer to provide a free download of their new single “Norway“; use responsibly!

“I see it hangin’…hangin’ in the air, dancing in a hula skirt & a coconut brassiere. I wanna see the pie in the sky.”

Grabbing the ear with wit & grit: a two-man band making too much noise for two boys.

What began as a simple mission to make recordings of Matt Shat’s songs – which draw inspiration from spaghetti westerns, the sounds coming out of Memphis in the 50s & 60s, Henry Miller, and girls in French films – eventually morphed into Shathouse Rats. The soul punk music emanating from this two-headed monster is best described as garage rock soul birthed from a gnarly stew of Sun, Stax, and Goner records that was brewed by the spring reverb gods. The thick minimalism of the music (from the debut EP, Blood On Yer Shoes) is replete with small amps making monster sounds, vintage keys, and howling vocals awash in fuzzy reverb. The songs have been described as slurf-bop, soul-twang, trash, barberslop, and soul grease – also known as psychaholic-twang-stomp-stew.  Whether you’re hanging in the air or dancing in a hula skirt with a coconut brassiere, come on through and get your slice of Shathouse Rats.

Check out some shatty tunes HERE!

Matt Shat & Byronius Junk will be treking from Atlanta this Friday evening to grace Athens with a melodious manifestation of talent. The docket also entails tunes by Coco Rico followed by DJ Heartbeats & polishing off the wee hour grooves with DJ Noah Ray.

Friday, January 22

Things get groovy @ 10PM

Go Bar – 195 Prince Ave

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but UGAstyle is so delightful. 2010 has fallen in our laps, so keep your heads up for a new decade of fashion kiddies! In that light, the streets of Athens, Ga are sure to deliver an essence of style & culture all its own. Happy and stylish (duh!) new year, dawgs.

- Green with envy, Jim (21, from Jacksonville, FL) and Chelsea (19, Cumming, GA) are the perfect match. These two did things right & flocked to warm their taste buds at the first sign of snow flurries. Couples who dress alike- and look alike- an awesome phenomenon that helps expand these love bird’s wardrobes.

Start things off right & celebrate the commencement of a new semester. Snow day/ weekend festivities soon to be underway? UGAstyle’s got ya covered with some tunes to keep your play button groovin.

Happy Holidays  ♥ The UGAstyle Team

Due to global warming, a white Christmas is a rarity south of the Mason-Dixon Line. However, according to the weather forecast, there is a predicted low of 35 degrees December 25th in Athens.

So if you’ve got cabin fever, get your Netflix fix on and pick from our list of holiday cinematic classics. Put some hazelnut in your eggnog & cozy up to the big screen with the fam.

3. The Hebrew Hammer - The baddest heeb this side of the Aviv!
4. Home Alone One (& Two, duh!) - “Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni & cheese dinner & the people who sold it on sale. Amen.”
5. It’s a Wonderful Life - “Hey look, mister – we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don’t need any characters around to give the joint ‘atmosphere’. Is that clear, or do I have to slip you my left for a convincer?”
6. A Charlie Brown Christmas - “Thanks for the Christmas card you sent me, Violet/ I didn’t send you a Christmas card, Charlie Brown/ Don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it?“
7. Elf - “We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.”

9. Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo - “I’m a Jew, a lonely Jew…I’d be merry, but I’m Hebrew.”

13. Miracle On 34th Street - “I believe… I believe… It’s silly, but I believe.”
14. How the Grinch Stole Christmas - “But this… this sound wasn’t sad. Why… this sound sounded glad. Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small, was singing, without any presents at all! He hadn’t stopped Christmas from coming, it came! Somehow or other, it came just the same.”
15. Scrooged - “The Jews taught me this great word. “Schmuck”. I was a schmuck, and now I’m not a schmuck.”
16. Santa With Muscles - Hulk Hogan has such wonderful family values, what better way to celebrate the season than to bring him into your own home? He takes no prisoners to make a profit off the Holiday season. Let his absurdly tan skin and those signature golden locks  fit nicely under your Christmas tree!
17. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation - “Is your house on fire, Clark?/ No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.”
