Kimbra - Settle Down

One of my very favorite new artists is Kimbra out of New Zealend. She's incredibly talented and her  singing style can switch between jazz and pop seamlessly. Picture if Fiona Apple or Bjork started singing Robyn songs. I really love her and can't wait until she comes to the States. Check out her lead single Settle Down below:

Bon Iver - Holocene

Bon Iver has a new self-titled follow up to his wonderful and haunting first album For Emma, Forever Ago. It is just as arresting and sonically dense as the first album and goes into some ambitious new territory. One of my favorite tracks is Holocene. Enjoy the beautiful video below.

Tina Fey speaks @ Google

Tina Fey is a modern hero of comedy. She's created one of the best TV comedies of all time and is now releasing a book called 'Bossypants'. I can't wait to get into it. She recently sat down with Google CEO Eric Schmidt to discuss her book and grill him on his improv skills. It's long but well worth it.

I'm really loving Lyyki's Li follow up album 'Wounded Rhymes'. After the Swedish songstress's breakout debut 'Youth Novel', pressure was high and she seems to have delivered. Dig the video to her latest single 'I Follow Rivers':

Pete Holmes on Conan

Pete Holmes is one of the first comics I saw perform live and his roast at the UCB Theatre in NYC might have been one of my favorite shows ever. Enjoy his first performance on Conan where he discusses being a fun dad, adults who eat candy, and the iTelephone being a dick.
