Guilty Pleasures

John Oates and ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic should no longer father children together.

Ok, let’s start over.  While browsing the web this afternoon in search of who-knows-what, we came upon this interesting little blog that brought our attention to the even more interesting figure you see depicted above.  His name?  Darwin Deez.  Normally, we’re not ones for super catchy indie pop dressed in synthetic rhythm, but there was something about this incessantly appalling lad that kept us looking.  And listening.

Based in NYC, Darwin recorded his recent self-titled full-length on a computer in his apartment, and while that may not be terribly unique this day and age, it is quite impressive to say that the crazy little dude is tearing it up in the UK right now.  What are your home recordings doing?…

Additionally, he’s got some pretty clever, creative videos to accompany “Up in the Clouds” and “Radar Detector” (you can’t beat dance moves like the ones on display here).

So we’ve been pushing this bruise all afternoon, and now we pass it along to you in hopes that you enjoy his music and videos as remorsefully as we have for the last couple of hours.  It’s ok to feel giddy.  Go on…
