Led Zeppelin to Reunite?

The date 11.13.07 has mysteriously appeared on ledzeppelin.com amidst a swirl of internet rumors of a Led Zep reunion. All I have to say is that I'm going to be in London and after seeing cover band Lez Zeppelin at the State Theater in Falls Church, VA, I'm ready and excited for the real deal.

Here's my favorite Led Zeppelin song "Tangerine." I always wondered why there was that silent gap in the beginning of the original recording (not heard in the video). Any insight?

Lauren's Inaugural Post!!!!!!

So I suppose its time that I actually post something on the TMC blog seeing as that I am 1/3 of TMC. Kate and I went to the radio meeting tonight and are hoping to get our 4-6 pm on Friday time slot back. If we don't I might get depressed. Also, we miss Jess and I can for sure say that Emily (as funny as she is) will not fill the void left by Jess' absence.

In response to Jess' post...the Call on Me video is not too sexual for this blog, but maybe I just think that because I have seen it before and am thus desensitized!
Jessie G. I miss you

ps... I would have a song for this occasion but Kate is gonna have to teach my how to do that as I am technologically uninclined!

Call On Me

Recognize this? I didn't realize Eric Prydz's party favorite drew so heavily from Steve Winwood's "Valerie." I heard this at Pizza My Heart and was kind of surprised that the hook from "Call On Me" was taken from this 80s song. Shield yours eyes! Here's the more sexual video of D6's favorite dance hit.

Edit: I'm almost too ashamed and bashful to see this video on the blog... so we'll see how long it lasts up here. TMC is down with the song. Not the video.

Home Sweet Home

Just because we're all back here . . . a passel of Washingtonian mp3s for you fine people, in order from most to least obviously relevant:

1. "Washington, D.C." by the Magnetic Fields - This is a love song. Believe it. Get behind it.
Buy the album 69 Love Songs here.

2. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" by the Postal Service - TMC sleeps together.
Buy the album Give Up here.

3. "Anacostia" by Son Volt - This song is really really pretty. And a little bit folky. Strangely, these are exactly the same two things that first come to mind when TMC thinks about Anacostia, the place.
Buy the album Okemah and the Melody of Riot here.

4. "Ooh Ahh" by Grits - Okay, we're going to be straight with you. This one just refers to "the capital city" . . . and we just hope its us, and not, say, Montpelier . . . because its so crazy good. But wait. Theres more. This is probably the c-raziest TMC post ever; Grits is an All Christian All The Time group. Or something. We could have linked you to a chrisitan music site to buy this, but that was almost too much . . . and yet this is the most infectious hip-hop song we've found in the past 6 months . . .
Buy the album 7 here.

Stay tuned: DCtastic trivia (possibly) coming soon to a post near you . . .

Air Force Ones

Girl 1: "Do these shoes make me look gay?"

Girl 2: "No, crazy. [pause] They make you look black."

Kate Edit: Clearly the only rational response to this is for us to post "Be Real Black for Me" by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway here.

Buy the album Roberta Flack here.

New Authors, possibly

Hello loyal TMC readers/listeners. I have just invited housemate Andy and TMC host Lauren (who has never blogged COUGH) to join the blog. TMC welcomes Andy's enthusiasm for jazz, hip hop, and R&B to fill the void that Kate and I have never filled. Lauren... blah blah blah. Thanks for letting us sleep in your room. Here is a photo of TMC + Andy, who I suppose is TMC now. Amazing. Something else amazing... the Touch My Clickwheel t-shirts, hand-made with love by Kate. Yes, I cried when I saw mine. You would too. Click on the post's photo for a closer look!

Move Out, Don't Mess Around

Moving sucks. Yes, college is the time of our lives, but I can't wait to just have a place where my belongings are not in constant jeopardy. I will soon be reduced to two backpacks, a rolly suitcase, and a duffel while the rest of my belongings are shipped away. In related news, the ladies of Touch My Clickwheel will all temporarily be living in the freshman sanctuary that is New South. I don't know if we can handle it, but it will be an experience. In honor of the big move, here's an excuse to post the 90s-licious hit by Yaz. Bring on the synth!
