Luciano Oliveira from The Twelves
Don’t you feel so cosmopolitan? So far, we’ve already surveyed the exotic beauty Australia, Sweden, New York, France, Canada, and Pittsburgh (perhaps the most foreign of all) have to offer. And we’re just getting started - next stop, Brazil, where gatos (hotties) are the country’s primary exports.
Coffee eyed Luciano Oliveira sports a well-cultivated 5 o’clock...

Christopher Bear from Grizzly Bear
So how come I’ve never heard of this band or its wildly attractive drummer? Like, not at all on a billion other blogs or by word of mouth or Hype Machine or Pitchfork or RS or the radio (ha!). JUST KIDDING LOLZ. Besides Animal Collective and Phoenix, Grizzly Bear is one of the bands I am the most sick of have been enjoying to the point of overdose.
So, to not tax your attention span,...

Thomas Mars from Phoenix
Oh la la. Now, it was difficult for me to decide which member of Phoenix to feature for several reasons, but as we all know, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE. So forgive me Deck; though we’d love to wreck you, it’s leading man Thomas Mars, that skinny delight of vocal prowess, whom we’d rather cozy up to.
The French band’s incarnation as we know it (with Thomas Mars, Deck...

Reader Request: Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray
Per the request of a lovely lady, today we discuss Mark McGrath (we all have our blips/guilty guilty pleasures). It’s an interesting request, since the last I heard of Mark McGrath, he was hosting one of those trashy gossip shows on TV and a bunch of VH1 shit. And, according to Wiki, was the host to not merely one but two Pussycat Dolls reality shows. Classy stuff.
But, admittedly, Mark...

Dave 1 from Chromeo
I’ll be the first to admit that, as a good shiksa, I am inevitably attracted to cute, young Jewish men. David Macklovitch, aka Dave 1 from Chromeo, is one of those men. Intelligent and soft-spoken, Dave’s (still?) working on his PhD (in French Lit) from Columbia; but his adorable smile and self-deprecating humor alone are worth the conversion to Judaism. Tall, lanky, and endearingly...

Levi McDonough from (Pretty) Girls & Lasers
You know that feeling you get when you’ve just met someone, and even though they haven’t even opened their mouth, you are inexplicably attracted to them? That whole “we-just-met-but-omg-I-can’t believe-how-much-we-have-in-common-we-are-meant-to-be-let’s-make-babies-right-now” feeling of infatuation? No? Just me? Well, I revel in that feeling and even though...

Zac from Sex Piano
All right kids, it’s Lesson #2 on the Philly music scene! Today we’ll be talking about something completely different from the sort of music/musicians I’ve presented. They are quite the acquired taste, and as such you must make a life-altering decision: you can skip this post completely and remain ignorant and sheltered, or you can allow yourself to fall (deeply and...

Ben Plant from Miami Horror
Let’s be real, Australia seems kind of boring (have you seen “Muriel’s Wedding”? Or “Irresistible”? Or “Australia”? It’s boring and dangerous. And wreck your neurons on something worthwhile, don’t watch “Australia”). Sure, at first the novelty of its beautiful beaches, athletic activities, and pretty people is entertaining,...

DJ Skinny Friedman from Philadelphyinz
I know you wish that was your pussy being so lovingly stroked, but sit tight and pay attention, because today we begin schooling you in the thriving and little publicized world of music (and hot musicians) in Philadelphia. Philadelphyinz - DJ Apt One and DJ Skinny Friedman - are kind of an underground big deal, and of course, what closet hipster (you, dear reader) doesn’t love “discovering...

Kristian Matsson (Tallest Man on Earth)
Accompanied merely by his acoustic guitars, Swedish born Kristian Matsson can stare down an audience until they cum or cry (trust). Minimalistic and reminiscent of Dylan in the “While-he-was-young-believed-in-folk-and-banged-Joan Baez” era, Matsson’s music is earnest and unique. Absolutely incredible live. Great at the guitar, his lyrics encompass a beauty and sumptuousness...
