Music is My Boyfriend. Duh.

I have something to admit: I am far from being cool (shhhhh...) It's an assumed requirement for the DI Arts editor to carry at least a little pretension when it comes to music and movies, but I have to say, I've dropped the ball this semester.

So, if I don't read Pitchfork or listen to The Hype Machine, where do I find new music, you wonder?

TV commercials.

Seriously.

First, the iPhone commercial with Feist's "1234" rocked my world and the iPod Touch features CSS's "Music is My Hot Sex" — which pretty much sums up my life (pathetic, but true). And now, the New Rhapsody/TiVo ad with Sara Bareilles "Love Song" has me addicted in a major way. You can watch the official music video on YouTube.

I'm off to listen to some Neutral Milk Hotel and pretend I'm cool again...

It makes me absurdly happy that you listen to Neutral Milk Hotel.
