More Explorations of 2009

We’re digging for deep cuts from 2009 (album tracks, songs that went mostly unnoticed, one-offs etc) but not so much that there’s not room for the Black Eye Peas. As with last time, the order is based not on some rating or ranking system, but on the themes and flow of the music itself. Hear for yourself at http://www.youtube.com/user/psychexfutureheart

I Can Be a Gabba Gabba!

The Flaming Lips will appear on Nick Jr. kid’s Yo Gabba Gabba! (previously mentioned in PsychExFutureHeart’s Oct 15, 2009 blog entry Yes Yes Yes: So Embryonic It’s All Right) playing “I Can Be Frog.” No broadcast date has surfaced yet and image searches on Google, Bing, Yahoo and Altavista have yielded nada thus far… but there’s a stupendously silly picture of the Flaming four geared up (think “Spongebob & Patrick Confront The Psychic Wall Of Energy” video costumes) and playing with the Gabba! cast on page 29 of the current issue of Rolling Stone (1096). Devo, The Killers, Weezer and Weird Al are also scheduled to appear on season three of the show, set to premiere Jan 16, 2009.

Psych Explorations of 2009

PsychExFutureHeart’s culmination to our Martian Christmases at the Zoo Countdown last week was a musical look back at the last year, of the first decade, in the twenty-first century… no easy task! Not only is music fragmenting, recombining and evolving at an unprecedented pace, so is how we access it and how it plays into our lives…even how we conceptualize what “music” is (as a product, as a service, as a personal experience, its social function, etc). With all this in mind, how can we make sense of this year in music?
