The Funk: Rilo Kiley

I’m pretty sure indie superstars Rilo Kiley have been on Grey’s Anatomy before — possibly multiple times.

But I heard them play my favorite song off their okay-ish new album* the other week and it made me happy. The song is called Breakin’ Up (on this show, we can only wish) and is fit for a disco queen. In any case, this is just an excuse to post a clip of Jenny Lewis and company performing the song live on MTVU.

It’s not Jenny’s best vocal performance, but she does rock the cowbell and white tights. She does get some help from some awesome backing singers, though.**

*it’s pretty good, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t know if they’ll give us another The Execution of All Things

**I love footnotes!

The More You Know: Polvo edition

If you ever go to Portugal, know that ‘polvo’ means octopus, not chicken. I learned this the hard way.

Music is my hot hot iPhone commercial

I’ve found myself snickering lately over the usage of songs I recognize on big-time TV shows. So I thought I’d use this opportunity to talk about music under the guise of a TV blog.

First up, there was Northern State on Grey’s Anatomy. Northern State is a pretty ridiculous band that I can’t help but love — a trio of white girl rappers who are unself-conscious in their nerdiness. It’s like my friends decided to form a rap group — Jewish girls with masters degrees singing about liberal politics and ice cream socials. The song the folks on Grey’s used is called “Better Already” and has a more rock-ish vibe than what I am used to hearing from them.

Here’s the silly, if weirdly lovable, video.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/nBVt5Hlgyuk" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Next, there’s the Apple commercial with Cansei de Ser Sexy. Like Northern State, CSS is made up of a bunch of wacky ladies, but this band is made up of raunchier stuff (sample song title: Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above). Their song “Music is My Hot Hot Sex” is the background music for the new iPhone commercial that NBC has been playing like crazy, although it’s sanitized to “Music is My Hot Hot Bed.”

Here’s the real video.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/-N3OrZzPud8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

Finally — there’s a decidedly silly vibe in all of these clips — there’s Chuck’s use of “Yea Yeah” by Matt and Kim. They’re a boyfriend/girlfriend band who play organ and drums — cute stuff. This is a pretty fun video too, what with the food fighting.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/4Yg-CgIwaHs" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
