19 Things I Loved About March

Its April already! Kinda sad to see March leave though, it was quite a month. Here are a few of my favorite moments of 03/08.

1. Vampire Weekend’s Pop Fame
   This month Vampire Weekend was the cover of Spin Magazine sending their self-titled debut up to top 10 iTunes Stardom. I even hear them on Top 40 radio stations!

2. Lil Wayne Doing the T-Pain
   Lil Wayne went pop with Lollipop!

3. The Roots Channeling Gym Class Heroes
   “Birthday Girl” isn’t the revolutionary shit we’ve come accustomed to hear from the Roots. It sounded a little… “Cupid’s Chokehold” like.
4. The Roots Being All Sorts of Amazing
   But a few days after “Birthday Girl” leaked… “Rising Up” reassured us of the Roots’ talent.
5. Death Cab For Cutie Possessing My Heart
   DCFC’s new single may not be capturing everyone’s heart, but I really can’t get enough of it.
6. The new Panic at the Disco album is Pretty. Damn. Good.
   One of 2008’s most pleasant surprises for sure.
7. 21’s Fucking Amazing Soundtrack
   From this soundtrack some Hype Machine royalty spawned.

   Rolling Stones - You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Re-Mixed and Re-Edited by Soulwax): Download

8. SXSW!
   Last year it was Amy Winehouse, the year before was the Arctics. This year’s break-out? N.E.R.D., dude.
9. Beyonce’s Dreamy, Mysterious Leak
   “Beautiful Nightmare” is hopefully just a taste of what’s to come
10. Madonna and Justin Save the World in Under 4 Minutes
    Madonna is back, in the most galling of ways.

11. Britney Breaks the Ice, Anime Style
    Its Britney, Bitch… lookig sexier than ever.
12. Hot Chip cover Snoop Dogg!
    This was just wonderful.
13. DVNO was the Next D.A.N.C.E - Almost
    All over the blogs? Check. Hundreds of remixes? Check. Ground-breaking Music Video? Semi-Check?
    
14. Fall Out Boy and John Mayer Cover MJ!
    These 3 or 4 minutes are the best you’ll ever hear from Patrick Stump.
15. Arcade Fire Plays for Obama
    What the fuck?

16. Nine Inch Nails Bank Big and Out-rebel Radiohead
    NIN vs Radiohead!

17. Stereogum’s Tribute to Bjork
    Just as good as their Radiohead and R.E.M. tributes!
18. The Raconteurs outdid the Stripes!
    Consolers of the Lonely is overwhelmingly edgy and satisfying compared to Icky Thump’s underwhelming sense of urgency.
19. XXXChange Remixes Panda Bear
    Pitchfork’s best album of 2007 gets an dancey edge on its star-track
