Miike Snow Puts Happiness in Your Ears

Miike Snow, a duo from Sweden, recently popped up in my musical rotation and I immediately went forth trying to find MORE. Mainly known for their remixes of Passion Pit, Vampire Weekend (below), and Kings of Leon, they released an eponymous album of original songs in 2009, including "Animal" (played on "Gossip Girl") and "Black and Blue". It's one of those bands that you know you have to hear again and again. Visit their website for more vids, music and more. Enjoy!



Check out some of their influences.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes Trailer

This looks amazing. WETA has created some amazing creatures, including Gollum from Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and the Na'vi from Avatar, but the apes and monkeys in this trailer look even more real than the ones you see at the zoo. There are tons of articles and posts out about this, but I just wanted to share the trailer. Also, James Franco really likes to do things.
