Beyonce’s new video for her single “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” has been a current obsession of ours as of late. There’s no denying its amazingness. I have even heard the video described as “black, white and fierce all over”, which I deem to be highly appropriate.
Although she’s pulling a split-personality thing and releasing two records–one under Beyonce and the other under the moniker Sasha Fierce (T.I. did the same with his last release, T.I. vs. T.I.P. and let’s not forget about the awesomely disgusting Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines attempt in 1999) my loyalty is going to have to stay with this Sasha Fierce character (although that name really sucks) because she is the buck Beyonce we all know and love.
… these traxxx before? Just some stuff I’ve been listening to a lot as of late. Wintry weather is setting in and nothing cures the sniffles like some good music and cute bunnies!
Yes, you will be able to find fellow God Warrior, Spencer Krug at the Gargoyle tonight with his band, Wolf Parade! Tickets are a bit pricey, $20 for the public. Show starts at 9pm and most likely will not start on time.
Ok, so the CMJ Music festival and conference went down a few weeks ago, but it was soooo insanely awesome that we are just now fully recovering from its effects. Now that Sanita and I are full time citizens of the real world again, here are photos of some of our favorite sights at CMJ 2008! All photos courtesy of our dear pal, Lesley Rottsolk.

I know we have been lacking on our duty as Best St. Louis Music Blog, but I guess being a student, managing a rock venue, and working at the radio station has shown to be a lot more work than we had expected. So alas we have been lacking in blog updates and we are completely sorry. Another reason we have been missing in action is that we have been in New York City for the past week for CMJ Music Marathon and we had a blast!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORES, YA HEARD??
We here at Toe Taps and Spastic Claps love free music as much as the other, but these mp3s are for promotional use only.
If you really enjoy the artist, it's highly recommended that you buy their work. If you are an artist and would like us to take down your music for whatever reason, please feel free to contact us at toetapsandspasticclaps@gmail.com and we'd be much obliged.
