check out Tyler’s nifty yellow MDD shirt that we hand screenprinted in our living room.  we’ll be making a limited number of MDD shirts and selling them at our shows, so get your butt to a show and get your bod into one of these shirts.

MUSIC

“Laughing With” -- Regina Spektor
(painfully clever and relevant. the mp3 is in the middle of an interview, just click the play button)

“Shempi” -- Ratatat
(if i ruled the world, videogame music would sound like this! well it sort of already does)

“Her Rotating Head” -- Bachelorette
(this is what the new Camera Obscura album SHOULD have sounded like. also has a crazy music video)

“Dream” -- Alice Smith
(funky and soulful -- it should have been a hit)

“David” -- The Radio Dept.
(think My Bloody Valentine meets Junior Boys…soft and fuzzy distortion, electronic drums, sounds drowning in reverb, and don’t forget the hand claps)

THINGS

The LifeStraw
(something that allows people all over the word to drink clean water)

Trader Joe’s
(just taking a minute to appreciate the incredible wonder that is TRADER JOE)

till next time,

MC

MUSIC
“spotlight” -- mute math
(an awesome new tune with an awesome new video, which you can see HERE)
“i still care for you” -- ray lamontagne

(listened to this whole album today while watching the crazy lightning/rain/wind storm outside)
“roberta flack” (ft. dolly) -- fying lotus

(a rocking track from a brilliant beat-master)

This Tuesday, we leave to go on tour for an entire month!  The tour is called, yep — you guessed it — the Michigan Bailout Tour.  We’ll be on the road with some of our very favorite michigan bands (and people): The Hard Lessons, The Great Lakes Myth Society, The Javelins, and Deastro.  Oh boy oh boy oh boy we just can’t wait to get into some of that warm weather.  And silky smooth grease.  Stay tuned for stories from the road!

 

Here’s a nifty map of the routing that we are looking at:

Though there are many benefits to doing things yourself, sometimes it can take forever to get things done. We are very excited to let you know that we finally are offering our entire album--plus bonus tracks--streaming on this website!  

Check out the top right icon to maximize the list and pick what you want to listen to.

 

This playlist will be continually updated, so make sure to keep checking back for more MDD tracks. Enjoy!!

 

In other news--we were named “Song of the Day” on About.com!!  

 

Love,

MDD

 

AAAAHHH  MADNESS!!
