Black and yellow, black and yellow


Unless you live under a rock, you know that today is Super Bowl Sunday. For football fans, it’s the biggest day of the year.

Usually I wouldn’t be excited. I’m not a particularly big football fan, but I do love the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of the teams competing for the prestigious Lombardi Trophy.

So with that in mind, let’s give a listen to Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa’s Black and Yellow featuring T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, and Juicy J.

I suppose for fairness sake I should post Lil Wayne’s Green and Yellow, but that’s not happening.

Yesterday I posted an ode to the White Stripes after the announcement that they had officially broken up. Today w

ill be an ode of a different sort. Last week it was announced that Canadian rock group Death From Above 1979 were re-forming for Coachella, and possibly more. Exclaim has a great little piece up on return of DFA 1979.

Here are my two favourite songs by the Toronto rockers. You might want to turn the speakers down because these boys bring the energy.

Speaking of Exclaim, I encourage everyone to check out this month’s cover story on folk-rockers The Decemberists. It's a fantastic article that is quite insightful. Their new album The King is Dead is fantastic and I thoroughly encourage all of you to go give it a listen, by whatever means necessary. More on them tomorrow.

Until then, keep on rocking in the free world.
