DJ Earworm | United State of Pop 2009 [Blame It on the Pop] – Video

// January 6th, 2010 // 1 Comment » // Video

I know we generally don’t play pop music on this site, but this mash-up gets a pass. No matter how much you (and some employees at the cafe) hate on Pop. I’m sure you know 80% of these songs even though you don’t own them. This list was complied by DJ Earworm from the top 25 songs on Billboards 2009 List.

The Best of Summer of 09

// September 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Video

Woke up this morning on my way to the Cafe, and had to pile through the nasty rain, and tons of people on their way to ground zero.  Needless to say, summer is coming to an end.  Early this week we dropped our Maroon Cafe Summer tracks (here), and this morning, we are showing you Quddus, Best of Summer 09 video.

Music festivals are the best thing about the summer and arguably the best one is Lollapalooza. This summer I decided to film as much of my experience there as possible and make a short film out of it. This is what I came up with. The all access perspective brings you right in the mix. It features Lykke Li, Snoop Dogg, Kings of Leon, Asher Roth, Vampire Weekend, Miike Snow, Santigold, Atmosphere, Dan Deacon, Bat for Lashes, Jane’s Addiction and Bon Iver.

Kings of Leon |Use Somebody [Live on Conan]

// August 25th, 2009 // No Comments » // Video

Did you hear that? Conan O’Brien, just called Kings of Leon, one of the biggest bands in the world. It’s tough to argue that at the moment. Since selling 6.5 million copies of Only By Night and selling out every venue they performed in on their world tour, it’s a statement that can be justified.

Kings Of Leon | Notion [Video]

// June 2nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Video

Fresh off their MTV performance (which I didn’t catch), Kings Of Leon have released the third single, Notion, from the album, Only By The Night.  By the timing of their MTV performance and the looks of this video, they are trying to get the their America behind them.  Can you blame them?

Lollapalooza 2009

// April 21st, 2009 // No Comments » // News

The lineup of Lollapalooza dropped today.  The dates are from August 7th-9th @ Chicago’s Grant Park.  You can either click on the poster to see the lineup, or check the video after the jump.  My question is…who’s coming with us?

Kings Of Leon| Use Somebody (RAC Remix)

// April 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Listening Section

I was never quite sold on “Use Somebody” which seems to be a favorite track of off the very solid Kings Of Leon album “Only By The Night.”  Despite recent negativity the band has faced about there progressive sound, they continue to be the closet thing we have to a Southern U2 modern day Classic Rock group.  Face it folks, Caleb and the guys make quality music if by any chance you  need a second opinion, just ask the United Kingdom. Until then check out this mix RAC put together which actually gave us imagery of see-through shirts, rainbows and one hell of a dance party in Chelsea.
