Sunglasses Remix “Keepaway” and Head Off on Tour

Sunglasses are a pair of Art and Design school musicians who serendipitously came across a music career. The two initially worked together on a student film and found the collaboration so enjoyable that decided to take on music as their next project. As of late, 8000 bam bam (Samuel Cooper) & Baby Seal (Brady Keehn) have already released their first self-titled EP and booked a decent tour covering the eastern half of the States.
Sunglasses recently lent their talent and expertise (Baby Seal majored in Sound Design) to reworking Keepaway’s “100.” The result is an aquatic jam that bubbles over and struts around with swagger despite the seemingly melancholy line, “I just hope you think of me when you get high.” It’s a rousing mix of Merriweather Post Pavillion and Air France. Listen below:

Weezer Declares Death To False Metal

Weezer looks to keep this year’s lovefest to fans going this November. The band has already put out a brand new album (Hurley) and announced a deluxe version of another one of their greats (Pinkerton).
Now the band has announced that come Nov 2nd (1st in the UK), Death To False Metal will hit stores with the best rarity album name of all time.
NME quoted frontman Rivers Cuomo as saying that the album features “great songs, great recordings, but for some reason they didn’t make the final cut for a record.” The tracks span the entire duration of the band; you can imagine the wide variety of styles on display.
The album cover is worth buying the CD alone, not including the ten brand new (to us) Weezer tracks. The entire set for what might be the coolest rarity album ever looks like this…
01 Turning Up the Radio
02 I Don’t Want Your Loving
03 Blowin’ My Stack
04 Losing My Mind
05 Everyone
06 I’m a Robot
07 Trampoline
08 Odd Couple
09 Autopilot
10 Un-Break My Heart
MODERN MYSTERY & MUSEBOX CMJ Party @ The Musicberg of Williamshall (Brooklyn)
