"Hi" Panda

This panda blogger is very excited for the new Xiu Xiu album coming out March 6 (or right now if you preorder). The first single, "Hi" (which you can download here) is super-catchy and the music video for it, directed by another of my all-time faves DAVID HORVITZ, includes this sequence of a flame encased panda (poor panda!):

"Panda Panda Panda" Live

Deerhoof's "Panda Panda Panda" has been a Panda Blog mainstay since almost the start, but I don't think I'd ever seen the video of the live version until Panda Correspondent Trevor pointed us toward its recent posting on Clusterflock.

pestering pandUHs

dear panda correspondent milad sent in a link this morning to lcd soundsystem's music video for their new song "drunk girls." the whole premise is basically the band getting beat up by creepily clothed panda/human hybrids. i'm not sure the point, but here it is:

also, blog friend thepassingstatic has featured drunk girls as well as a couple other leaks from the upcoming album.

enjoy!

PANDA BAND

another belated post from yours truly. my friend milad stumbled across this band at a melting point show, and swooped up their ep for me as a christmas gift [ps milad were you able to retrieve my card??]. the cd features an excellent panda graphic that looks to me like he's swinging in a hammock on the base of the cd.

i'm not very good at musical reviews, but i like it. and, for your own listening pleasure, all 3 songs, 1 zip.

Pandas on the Webbernets

It has been many moons since panda updates - lucky for you, I had nothing to do this afternoon and so I was trolling the internets.

First up, Panda Toes, a blog/DJ site about all kinds of music.

And second, FiercePanda Records, a "poptastic" record label boasting bands signed to their roster such as The Raveonettes and The Walkmen.

Pandas like music, apparently :)

He plays beautiful melodies

If Deerhoof was from the Caribbean

I certainly know what song I would be analyzing for my homework assignment. Seriously, this song was made for Panda Blog.

ALSO:
Devora & I just returned from a very-panda Portland-weekend, so prepare yourself for mondo mucho many updates!

And even more alliteration!

panda xiu xiu xxxxxx panda panda

adding to his all-around amazing-ness, jamie stewart seems to have a fondness for pandas. recently, it seems to be for the sanrio character pandapple, as observed repeatedly on the xiu xiu blog as well as in person. but the panda appears previously in the xiu xiu repertoire--see this song titled "little panda mcelroy," a nice little number, not much to do about pandas in particular, but fun none-the-less. pandas are awesome and xiu xiu is awesome therefore xiu xiu songs with pandas are awesome.

panda sings

A happy song about another noble animal, the hippopotamus. Did you know that pandas sing in addition to dancing?
