Friday Links

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

I was going to do a Sunday Links thing every Sunday, but why should I discriminate against the other perfectly capable days of the week? Oh yes, I went there.

Listen to, Preview, and HEART all of the music posted on PMA.

Frank(ie) Ramz posted this fantastic video on Pigeons & Planes. If you sort of like Asher Roth, or even sort of hate him, you might enjoy this. “I Hate High School.”

MGMT cover Nine Inch Nail’s “Closer.” Not sure how old this is, but I like it. Saw it at Rollo & Grady via Bleakey. I wanna f**k you like a DINOSAUR!
