Check out this music video from The New Pornographers featuring comedians such as Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, John Oliver and John Hogman. Enjoy!
Jon Glaser Creates his own Rock n Roll History at Book Release Party
Jon Glaser just released a book, and the release was celebrated with some high profile celebrities at a free event in the Brooklyn Bell House. When I heard that Jon writing a book about never before seen documents from famous Rock n Roll bands, I was immediately intrigued. Then I heard the title of the book was called "My Dead Dad was in ZZ Top"... Being a fan of his work on Delocated and Conan O'Brien I couldn't wait to see his take on all these rock bands. If the stories that were read during his release party were any indication, this book seems to be a must buy for music and comedy lovers. The event started with an introduction from Yo La Tengo's own Ira Kaplan stating how all of the documents in the book are true (they're not) followed by Jon Glaser taking the stage to explain how the origins of the book. The rest of the night consisted of friends of Glaser interpreting different stories from the book. The people that did the readings were John Hogman (Daily Show, I'm a PC guy) Scott Adsit (30 Rock) Zoe Lister Jones (Delocated) Jon Hamm and Paul Rudd.

I'm loving everything that Big Sean is putting out right now. Can't wait for him to finally drop his album.
Prince's Last show in NY turns into a Giant Party!
We usually don't cover big shows here at Freak Out Music. Usually we go for more up and coming acts. This Prince show was an exception. Today was one of those days for me where nothing seemed to go right. Everything just felt off. In the middle of the day I decided that I needed to turn my luck around and on impulse called my friend and decided to go to the last Prince show of his five show run. Man what a good decision that was! Totally killed my bad day and turned it into one that I'll remember for a while. Once the lights dimmed and Prince emerged from the bottom of the stage with a sparkling golden outfit, the crowd went flat out crazy. He opened his set with a rocking version of Laydown and then immediately got the crowd in MSG dancing by transitioning into 1999. What makes a Prince show great is the energy that he brings to his concerts. This was no exception. Whether you like his music or not, you can't deny the fact that Prince is a performer. Whether he is dancing on stage, ripping another guitar solo or sliding to his knees screaming, you can tell that he gives it his all and the audience in turn gave it their all dancing in the stands. For Prince's last show of a 5 run stint in NY, you knew he would have a couple of surprises. One of these happened early on when he brought Kim Kardashian on to the stage to dance with him.

Felt- All the People I Like Are Those That Are Dead
Here at Freakout! we like to focus on the up n coming, but i felt like FELT deserves a mention.. More like a shrine of a blog in there honor. For our followers who have not heard them, oh man, you're in for a tweet, I mean treat. These lyrics people! cmon!
"I've been around this town, and I've see what God has done
I've been around and it's no fun, I've been a two-timer/tearaway God has told me so
But I don't believe in him you know, don't make me martyr for your causes
Becuase I don't believe a word that you said, all the people I like are those that are dead"
