Comedian, actor, writer, multitasker, and bona fide GANGSTER T.J. Miller put out one of the most entertaining albums of last year in The Extended Play E.P., and now we get a stellar, David Green directed video to accompany the track “T.J. Miller”. It’s stylish, funny, different, and everything you’ve come to expect from Miller, and at this point we should be expecting nothing but original creativity from his consistent contributions to multiple entertainment platforms. We chatted with T.J. about the video, collaborating with David Green, and panties, obviously.

2011′s Best Tracks To Get Lost In

Date: Dec 21st, 2011 | By:

Us being Serial Optimist’s, and hoping to make each and everyone of you smile each day, we try to keep things upbeat around here. However, that doesn’t mean we all don’t suffer from relationships ending, bills stacking up, stress pressing hard, life being life, so on and so it goes. Sometimes though, you have to embrace the life in a rainy day kind of way, and just soak in it, for just a bit. Get lost in music that might not lyrically resonate to your exact situation, but resonates nonetheless, and allows you to get lost in a little sadness. Not all of these songs are sad per se, they are all amazing regardless of any emotional labeling, but are good to put on when you’re feeling blue, and also what we think to be 2011′s Best Tracks To Get Lost In.

Interview | Body Language

Date: Nov 21st, 2011 | By:

Body Language

What might the synergy of 1970s soul and funk yield if they could be combined with the principles of ever-resilient 80s electro, and just a touch of a crooner’s burnished tone? More than likely, the resulting amalgam will include Brooklyn quartet, Body Language. A group initially conceived in Hartford Connecticut’s annals of education and the sanctity of obscure dive bar dance parties, has come forth with a new revision to their sophomore effort. Tracing the band’s evolution through their initial 2009 EP, “Speaks” to their next, 2010’s “Social Studies,” found the group ready to explicate just what their sound was about. On October 18th, Body Language and Om Records released the “Social Studies” Deluxe Edition; a thirteen-track album including a live version of the single “You Can”, and four remixes.

This three song digital EP from RACES is a precursor to the bands debut full length Year of the Witch coming out in March 2012.  The first two songs are from that record with the third song an exclusive song to this EP. “All For You”, coming off the EP Big Broom is a delight. Charismatic indie-pop highlighted by the boy/girl vocals of Ryff and Wood make this track a standout amongst other…standouts. Enjoy.
