Video: Surfer Blood “I’m Not Ready” (Live in L.A.)
One year ago today, a few lucky fans in Los Angeles got an early peek at what wound up being one of 2011’s best songs. “I’m Not Ready” from Surfer Blood‘s Tarot Classics EP is a winner folks. In the video below, frontman John Paul Pitts and the boys are still a little rough around the edges. But one needs to look no further than the confident faces of Surfer Blood’s members to be assured they knew what they were on to. Tarot Classics was a release both Brett and I have lost sleep over omitting from our year-end “best of” lists. I listen to it weekly. Get a glimpse of one of 2011’s best tracks, before any of us knew exactly what we were in for.

Video: Air Supply “All Out of Love”
Who better to usher in Valentine’s Day 2012 than the bro’s of Air Supply? There are not many songs as sappy as “All Out of Love”. But, who gives a shit? Sappiness is what this holiday was founded upon. If the video doesn’t satisfy your need for Australian soft rock, you can catch the duo at Anderson’s Hoosier Park Racing and Casino on March 30th. Buy Tickets. No, I’m not joking.

Video: Chairlift ft. Kool A.D. “Party” (Beyonce Cover)
It’s Valentine’s Day. So while Hallmark is going to try to make me feel shitty about enjoying a hoppy beer and dinner in between two empty bar stools at some random local establishment this evening, I’m not going to let them. But love is indeed in the air courtesy of my 2012 obsession Chairlift. I recently reviewed their newest album Something in late January and now the duo is back at it again with perhaps the hottest track of 2012 covering Beyonce’s “Party” with Das Rascist’s Kool A.D. Featuring a funky beat from Patrick along with some devastatingly beautiful vocals from Caroline and a smooth verse from Kool, this track will have you restarting it as soon as it ends. Check it out below courtesy of Triple J Radio.
