Daft Punk Edition TRON Headphones

It seems like everyone and their mother are coming out with headphones these days. First came Beats By Dre (paws crossed good ol’ Saint Nick brings me a pair for Christmas) then Beats by Beiber (they’re purple! Because that’s his favorite color! How adorable…) and now: TRON: Legacy Headphones by Daft Punk (who did the (awesome) soundtrack for TRON: Legacy) Medicom Toy.  What makes these headphones oh so special, you ask? They have light-up LEDs! Totally reminds me of those kicks that were all the rage when I was 8, LA Lights. Anyone else remember those?! God, they were cool… Anyway, so these – totally ridiculous looking headphones – run for a cool $350 (USD) but! you also get a copy of the TRON: Legacy - soundtrack. Win.

White Lies

Hi!  The wonderful day of the week that is Friday is upon us once again and I’m back with my utterly magical music update to make it that much better!

The other day I was perusing through my iTunes and came across The White Lies; I’d forgotten how much I absolutely love them. Their first album “To Lose My Life” is ludicrously good and it’s been a minute since I’ve heard anything new from them and was I wondering when they were going to release some new material. The greatness that is 2010 strikes yet again and what do I come across this week? The video for their new single, “Bigger Than Us”. Check it out Here, it’s an absolute banger of a track.

Kid Cudi and the Roots on Jimmy Fallon

This week has been ridiculously busy but seriously awesome: Halloween weekend plus kicking it at the famed MSR Studios every night this week with The Roots, Miniature Tigers and Shiny Toy Guns as they rehearse for Red Bull’s Soundclashes taking place later this month in Atlanta and Phoenix. Hard to believe sometimes that this is my job. Pretty incredible. That being said, I’m most happy it’s the weekend and am looking forward to cheering my friend Tess on as she runs the New York City Marathon on Sunday!!

So speaking of The Roots (all of whom are amongst the nicest guys I’ve ever met, such wonderful and immensely talented men), check out their performance of “Maniac” (which I wrote about the other week) with St. Vincent, Kid Cudi and Cage on Jimmy Fallon.
