Matt & Kim, Souja Boy & Andrew WK Made A Song, "I'm A Goner" - It's Bad.

Some drunkard at Converse thought it would be a good idea to pay Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy and Andrew WK to write a song together. Needless to say the results are boring and pretty terrible. I don't understand how anyone could think this would work out well. There's a proper video for this tune on the Converse website but I can't embed it so head over there if you give a shit.

New Matt & Kim Video, "Cameras"

I'm not a fan of this song but the video is kinda awesome. Matt and Kim literally just beat the shit out of each other the whole time. If I liked the song I'd be pissed that the fight sounds are actually louder than the song but I don't like it so who cares?

Matt & Kim Sell Mojitos

This is a weird commercial for a Matt & Kim song. Is this what Bacardi ad execs think hipster parties and people look like?

New(d) Matt & Kim Video "Lessons Learned"

There's a new Matt & Kim video for their song "Lessons Learned". They get naked in it. Normally I wouldn't bother mentioning that but everytime I post the words nude, naked, boobs, ass, etc. traffic goes up. Apparently people use the internet to look for these sorts of things - who knew?

***Update: Ahahahah! You fucking pervs. Half of my traffic today was people Google searching "Matt + Kim Uncensored"

Grand - Matt & Kim

Luckily I saw Matt & Kim live before I ever heard their recordings. The fact is if it was the other way around I would have hated this album and everything before it. Luckily though that didn't happen because I love Matt & Kim now.

When I heard they were releasing a new album I was worried that they couldn't recreate their infectious live shows on album. Well I can honestly say that Grand gets about as close as you can. The production is excellent and really has a live feel. The funny thing is I've heard all of these songs so many times I didn't even realize they were "new." I knew half the words to the songs before I ever even listened to the album.

If you live in Brooklyn, especially Williamsburg or Greenpoint, then every songs seems like it's about your life. The thing is, it kinda is and that's what's so awesome. Matt & Kim really are just like us - they're friends of friends (literally), they ride their bikes on the same streets, they drink coffee at the same shops, and that's exactly what they write songs about.

The question is, would I recommend Grand? If you like bubble-gum punk then yes. If you've seen them live then yes. If you like upbeat indie rock then yes. But the thing is if you're any of those people then you already have it. If not this is the best I've ever heard M&K so pick it up.

So to those BSC readers that like it fast and heavy - go see Matt & Kim live. The smaller the venue the better. After that you won't need me to recommend it.
