SNL Screwed Up

Yes, I know that this band has been getting a ton of air play.  Totally Pop-rap stuff.  However, I love the infectious energy of the song, and the amusing lyrics.  The video is so overly unpretentious that is seems like a compilation of a friend and his friends getting together and putting something personal in there.
Additionally, Macklemore jumps around wearing checkered vans at one point.  Gotta give props toward that.

However, I saw this group on SNL last week.  The totally irritating thing about the presentation was the fact that SNL screwed up the leveling of the lead mic.  Seriously?  Were they late to the sound check?  Couldn't be, since everything was perfectly leveled.  The awesome horn section (6 pieces... sweet), leveled.  That would have been a bitch, since it was 4 trumpets, 2 bones.  They got it corrected for the next song, but hosed the first one.  Damn it.

Finally, I think I spend too much money on clothes.  Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (featuring Wanz).  Thrift Shop.  Check it out.
Cheers,
