The Weepies: <em>Be My Thrill</em>

Duo wears their hearts on their record sleeve Listen to The Weepies’ Be My Thrill in full on the Paste station. It’s hard to believe that The Weepies haven’t yet appeared on Yo Gabba Gabba!

<em>Paste</em> Premiere: The Weepies' "I Was Made for Sunny Days"

The Weepies’ most recent collection of effervescent folk-pop songs were cheerful enough to prompt Paste to get some tips from the husband and wife duo about how to live a happy life.

New Line Records will release the soundtrack to Sex and the City: The Movie on May 27, just three days before the film hits theaters. Producer Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse, Nas, The Fugees) put together the soundtrack and re-imagined the TV show’s theme song to become the film’s opener, “Labels or Love,” performed by pop star Fergie. The soundtrack also features a song by Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls), who plays Carrie Bradshaw’s personal assistant in the film.
