sunset rubdown – idiot heart

before we get into todays song, im posting a video that i was fortunate enough to discover yesterday. ive actually already posted this son during my post pitchfork moment of clarity when i realized the brilliance of m83. if you recall in that post, i talked about how this song got the whole crowd going halfway through the m83 set, and how the sun was just in the right spot to electrify all the colors on the stage. and now you get to see it for yourself. i have such vivid memories of this song so its cool to see a nice video of it, but this doesnt even do it any justice. …read more and hear the song…

good things to come with the flaming lips

this is a pretty big week of firsts here at dailybeatz. first of all, i wrote a little article about the cost aspect of pitchfork fest which was posted on the windycitizen blog yesterday. this marks my first time writing an article about anything using proper punctuation and capitalization. we’ve also got our first ever interview coming up later this week. and finally, we’ve got our very first giveaway coming up even later in the week. phew, thats a lot to look forward to all in one week, dont you think? that being said, im exhausted, and im going to repost the contents of the story i wrote below, as well as a song by the flaming lips, who closed out the pitchfork festival last night with a bang. you can see the original article here in all its glory. …read more and hear the song…
