The Funk: You Say Party! We Say Die!

Okay guys, it’s one of those nights where I don’t have a whole lot to offer you, so I may as well just stick with what I know.

Here’s a video by a band called You Say Party! We Say Die! They are a Canadian band that are weirdly aggressive and shouty — a quality I’m not necessarily accustomed to from our Tim Horton’s-loving neighbors to the north.

The video is for a song called “Monster,” and it’s generally a bit more palatable and smooth than the rest of the songs on the album. My favorite songs on the new one, Lose All Time, have this Halloween-y sounding organ and pounding drums. It kind of reminds me of the the “spooky sounds” tapes that people would put on their porches during Halloween when I was a kid. In between organ music, there’d be sounds like a laughing vampire and a bubbling cauldron. Good times — but I digress.[kml_flashembed movie="http://youtube.com/v/-IQKsrXDHrg" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Just so we can come full circle with this week’s worth of posts, Los Campesinos! (the band I featured the other day) has a song called We Throw Parties! You Throw Knives! that one can only assume is directed at this band. You can watch that video here.

Welcome home

Isn’t it weird thinking that TV could actually be watchable? After the past few months, with our bleak outlooks and our dwindling DVR backlogs.

Another bit of good news comes with the fact that Saturday Night Lives first post-strike guest host will be none other than Tina Fey. The episode will air Feb. 23 — that’s a week from tomorrow, folks!

Maybe there is a God after all! (Just kidding. )

And Ellen Page from Juno is also signed up.
