SOTD: "The Love Song" - K-OS

I have to admit that I hadn't heard of K-OS until yesterday when I read he was one of the major performers at the Virgin Festival in Calgary this summer. From what I gather, he's pretty big in Canada. I listened to a few tracks and I'm digging this one.

Lance Armstrong Nike Commercial w/ Mogwai's "Auto Rock"

About a week ago, my buddy Karl sent me a cut of a new commercial he was working with Lance Armstrong on for Nike. It debuted on TV this past weekend so you may have caught it over the last few days. One of the things I'm always interested in is the music behind these commercials and Karl let me know that it was a song called "Auto Rock " by Mogwai, real cool tune.

Below is the Nike commercial and a live Mogwai cut of the full song. Maybe it'll inspire you to get out and ride today, or listen to Mogwai today, or perhaps even ride your bike to a Mogwai show. Enjoy!

SOTD: "Lisztomania" - Phoenix

I have been totally addicted to this song lately.......
