Much of the nation, most especially the mid-west and the south, have been trapped under a dome of extreme heat for the past month or so, while the Northeast has been dipping in and out of excessive temperatures for weeks. Here in the west, we've had a mild summer with below average temperatures for most [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
You know the drill by now on how this works. This week, I picked the word "warm" because it's that miserable time of year where the temperatures are starting to consistently hold above freezing (at least during the day) but the threat of another winter blast is still looming, ready to strike at any moment. So, I thought I would try to do my part to will Spring to arrive by channeling warm thoughts/sounds. Let's start out with a newish tune from Warm Ghost. I remember hearing about Warm Ghost, once a solo project by [...]

(photo: ardilla dilla) Down here in Florida rainforest swamp there exists approximately one basement and this basement is a radio station called WPRK 91.5fm. Once a week I descend underground, turn off all the lights and blast new/FL/fmly jams for two hours under the Rol-Col tutoring center. Every Tuesday from 5-7pm If I Ran the Zoo takes over all airwaves across the globe within a 16 mile radius of Park Avenue, but if you don't live right around the block you can stream it live here !

"Too Beautiful For Smiles" is the perfect title for a track composed of minimal percussive rhythms and airborne vocals. St. Petersburg, Florida's Kyle Wyss ( Blind Man's Colour ) records his delicate, beat-driven lullabies under the name Chromatic Flights . You'll find all manner of unexpected instrumentation providing the backing for Wyss's serpentine melodies. What sounds to be the accompaniment of xylophone and marimba mingle with guitar and words that alternate between fluidity and clarity. Did I forget to mention that Kyle Wyss is only 19 and began this project at age 15? Yeah, that's important too. [...]
Oh how I would love to be the fattest man at a music festival, so fat that it's hard to tell whether I'm face up or face down when I recline in the grass. As you can tell, today's kind of a slow day so far (although we do have a brand new podcast thanks to our resident postaholic Nathaniel)... We haven't done one of these megaposts in a while, so I figured I'd give it a shot at upload a bunch of my favorite remixes. Plus, after the crap that DreamHost put us through [...]
![[Listen] – #MusicMonday – 20 Songs Of The Week – May 10th](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2543045_lg.jpg)
If you're unaware of what Music Monday is, it's a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too. Using the hashtag (#) followed by "MusicMonday" you can easily find new music posted by the thousands of people making recommendations each week. Every #MusicMonday I upload a playlist of 20 songs that I've been listening to (new and old) over the [...]
Behind every hard-working, dream-chasing musician is a mom who let her son or daughter convert the garage into a studio, or drove the minivan to their first show, or made them practice guitar for an hour every night before TV-time. As we lead up to Mother's Day on Sunday, we've decided to salute these hippest of ladies through stories and quotes from many musicians (and their moms!). Here is Kyle Wyss of the Florida psych-pop band Blind Man's Colour (that's him on the left above) and his mom Kathy to indulge us: [...]
We had this Florida duo on here before and we still know very little about them apart from the fact that every time we hear them we sit up. They specialise in a woozy style of out of focus electronica, the sort that could reveal very little behind the smokescreen. Of course, and we're putting our money on this assumption, they could quite easily be the future of music. For now we'll dewax and listen intently for all the interesting bits to be found strewn around 'Jimmy Dove', a single that appeared in January. Blind Man's Colour have [...]

If you caught/enjoyed the Blind Man's Colour video for "Canoe Paddles" we posted a few weeks back, we've got an even more magnanimous gift for you tonight! Director Lawrence Martinez has provided Wooden Blankets psyche lullaby "Fantasy Coves" with it's visual soulmate, and we're happy to be the first to share it. This vid is haunting, beautiful, terrifying, comforting and I've become entirely unable to listen to this jam without daydreaming its images. If you're in the mood to take a mini vacation through some places you'll never see on earth, grab yr [...]
Chromatic Flights = Too Beautiful for Smiles Kyle Wyss (photo tumblr) is a 19 year old (if his myspace is up to date that is) that makes this kind of amazing amient electronic pop brilliance as Chromatic Flights . If that doesn't make you mad enough, that's just his side/solo project as he is also half of a better known band Blind Man's Colour , reped by Kanine Records , home to Chairlift, Sufer Blood and more. Anyway, the St. Petersburg, FL residents are always [...]

If you dug the BMC jam posted a few days ago, here's the aforementioned video for Canoe Paddles that just hit the interwebs today! This sweet vid was shot and directed by Kyle Wyss and Orlando's Frank Traynor, and features fractal beams, tape manipulation, bubbles, crystal balls and five hundred adorable kittens. Most of this is true! Another gem from Wooden Blankets posted below. Blind Man's Colour - Fantasy Coves

Some songs are so good you can listen to them over and over. And some songs are so good you can listen to them over and over and get chills every time. Those are harder to come by. That being said, I can't stop listening to Canoe Paddles, the opening track from the recent Blind Man's Colour release Wooden Blankets . It wasn't right away that I noticed all the things that are going on in this hazy tune - it's an easy first listen which becomes more and more rewarding each time. Can't wait for the video, which [...]

Welcome to Florida, home of Disney World, Tiger Woods and gatorade. But that's not all - as the rest of the world is beginning to discover, we also have music. Some pretty rad music, too. In fact, I heard that Florida is the new Portland. It was then debated whether or not Portland is the new Portland, but whatever the answer may be, Florida is the new something. This is convenient, because Florida will likely fall into the ocean soon. As the interpreter between Florida and the rest of the world, I offer you this mix , this grapefruit [...]
