Songs of the week: 6/16/09

Ah. Summer, while not "officially", is officially here. Hazy, hot, and humid - with the reliable afternoon thundershower. Don't you love Florida summers?

***songs of the week #25

1. At Least I'm Not As Sad As I Used To Be - fun. (This is an awesome track from the after-project of the Format and Anathallo)
2. Nothing Pure Can Stay (Live) - Audrye Sessions (Hell yeah)
3. Kids (MGMT Cover) - The Kooks (I'd hope that, unlike with the original, people make actually take heed of the chorus: control yourself, and don't overplay this track. Take only what you need!)
4. Autumn Beds - Modest Mouse (Another new Modest Mouse song! Off of their upcoming 7")

Lil' Wayne, among others, wins Grammy

Last night, I was pleased by many things at the Grammy Awards: The Mars Volta won a Performance award for their track "Wax Simulacra"; Robert Plant received quite a warm reception, attaining the coveted Album of the Year for his work with Allison Krauss; and how about Justice's nod for their remix of MGMT's "Electric Feel"?

But a night is never complete without an appearance from Weezy himself, so here's Lil' Wayne's performance, followed by a somewhat less-than-graceful reception of the Rap Album of the Year prize.

Enjoy.
