Joseph Gordon-Levitt can sing AND play the piano?? HOW DOES SOMEONE THIS PERFECT EXIST.

In what can only be described as a smorgasbord of multimedia inventively jammed together into a very enjoyable 23 minutes of television, JGL collaborates with the internet folk to describe the meaning of the number "one". Skip to the end for the musical magic (but really, why would you want to skip any of this crafty ingenuity?).

I'm back from the land of cat donuts and ladies' markets! (*sigh*)

A smooth electro-pop, heart-thumping, head-nodding tune from the Drive soundtrack (Nightcall by Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx).

Interesting thriller about a messed up stunt car driver and his doomed romance. Plus Ryan Gosling.

Sometimes I like to waltz around my apartment in my underwear and pretend that I'm conducting Beethoven's symphonies.

My go-to thesis writing/data analysis tunes: Jónsi & Alex. Beautifully orchestrated instrumental/ambient music (Jónsi is also the vocalist from Sigur Rós). Plus they have the cutest recipe show ever.

Song: 'Boy 1904'

I had the privilege of seeing Daugher perform live this past summer at Osheaga, and the lovely Elena Tonra was genuinely and adorably flustered by the large crowd that had assembled there to see them. Stay humble, Daughter.

The Cational: Featuring Cat Berninger on vocals, Bryan Devenfluff on drums, Scott Devenfluff on bass, and the twins Purrin and Mice Dessner on guitar

In response to an online leak of their much-anticipated new album Reflektor, Arcade Fire did the only sensible thing that they could think of - release the album 5 days early and set it to Brazilian film Black Orpheus on YouTube.

I own the entire discography of The National (including that song they wrote for Portal 2), and my all-time favourite is still 'Slow Show'.

The heartbreaking desperation in Matt Berninger's voice in the coda set to the stripped-down piano melody gets me every time.

Every time I listen to the breathy vocals and haunting percussion intricacies of Fredrik's album Flora, my mind wanders to images of a dark and mysterious forest where otherworldly creatures flit around and beckon you to explore deeper into the unknown.

Beautiful rendition of 'Do You Realize??' by The Flaming Lips (with backup help from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) in a California cemetery.

For those not in the know, that yellow bubble on Wayne's guitar is not just an accessory to his man-sized space bubble - it functions to separate the guitar tunes from the much-louder and often drowning sounds coming from the rest of the band. Though he's also confessed to using it as a cheat sheet for his lyrics and chords. Oh Wayne, you sly, sly genius.

Growing up ain't easy. Though listening to this (extremely talented) 16-year-old sing about laughing in bed with childhood friends makes me feel pretty darn old and nostalgic.

And let's be honest here, who hasn't had BSS's 'Lover's Spit' on repeat at some point in their life?

#lorde #ribs #broken social scene

This simple love song is the antithesis of all love songs. Real life love is never the easy, euphoric, happy-go-lucky paradise that's depicted by your typical love song. Devon Welsh sets the record straight with this line:

"The cheesiest songs all end with a smile

This won't end with a smile, my love"

In addition to unicorns and rainbows, love can also be a lesson in maturation, a test of time, and a battle (worth fighting for).

Don't You Evah - Spoon

Sometimes things just don't work out. Don't keep hanging around just because it's comfortable. In the end, you're only denying your own happiness.

In case you missed it, Arcade Fire performed some new tunes at Salsatheque in Montreal a few weeks ago, complete with James Franco on the pay phone, Michael Cera the bartender, and even a telecommunication with Bill Hader and Zach Galifianakis in outer space!

Man I missed out.
