East Harlem

Beirut

Of course we’ve got nothing against “cookin’ meatballs and salad” ;)

Beirut— East Harlem

Saw Beirut tonight at Music Hall of Williamsburg. A bit uninspired but sounded good overall. Never really hits you in the gut. My friends and I decided that it’s not really makeout music, it’s “cookin’ meatballs & salad” music.

Beirut live at Music Hall of Williamsburg

I’ve been watching this Beirut concert from last year all weekend and can’t wait to see the show tonight at the same venue in Williamsburg!

(Do yourself a favor and watch it.)

I waited in line for these over the weekend. So excited!!!

Dear Major Label Music Executive

Dear Major Label Music Executive,

Thank you for your sudden and aggressive interest in Wakey!Wakey! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the music so much more, now that it’s selling in stores nationwide. Unfortunately, a year ago when we first shared the same songs with you, you didn’t really hear much potential, so now it’s our turn to have to pass on you. I do promise however, to keep you in the loop as we continue to grow.

Sincerely,

Michael Grubbs and the Wakey!Wakey! team.

This is so great! The major labels have no vision for anything beyond teenage girls or boys with reality tv shows.

When two web services love each other very much…

Some great music blogs use Tumblr as their platform, and we aggregate those in The Hype Machine. But plenty of people have awesome insights on music, even if they post about everything else on their tumblelog, too. So now, you can submit your music posts to the Hype Tumblr. We’re also following some cool people and reblogging their stuff, so you can see all the videos/articles/photos/links that make up our music experience right now. And just like on our main site, you can stream all the music on this page. Follow us, visit us, submit your posts, and check out some Tumblrs you might not be following yet. Welcome to our newest experiment!

Very excited to see what this combo produces!
