Last Sunday, we gave you a sneak peak at North Highlands' upcoming debut Wild One , which is due out October 18th. Judging by the sound of their lead single "Benefits," you may expect their tastes to hover in between Indie pop and folk. That would be a misguided notion, so we had the New York City outfit curate a mixtape that shows us what they are really about. The results could not have come out anymore diverse or eclectic. Here's what they had to say about it: We all listen to [...]

The Last Days of Disco is the third film in writer / director Whit Stillman's series of comedies depicting young urban bourgeoisie lifestyle, following the more widely acclaimed and popular Metropolitan and Barcelona . Released in 1998 and set in 1980-81, The Last Days of Disco follows a group of WASPy Ivy League grads in New York City as they navigate their first jobs and search for romance in nightly visits to 'The Club,' a disco- and dance-filled nod to Studio 54. The dialogue here is consistently rich and brilliant, from the entire scene [...]
You already KNOW!!! Check out this footage of Brenton Wood from the late 60's. Early singles for Brent Records and Wand Records failed to chart. After signing with Double Shot Records, Wood had a hit with "The Oogum Boogum Song" in the spring of 1967. It reached number 19 on the Billboard R&B chart and number 34 on the corresponding Billboard Hot 100 pop listing. His biggest hit came in September of the same year, as "Gimme Little Sign" hit #9 on the pop chart and #19 on the R&B charts. It sold over one million copies, [...]
by Ariella Stok I want to say a few words to all you young girls out there . You're too much! First you try casting your spell on a guy with a little Oogum Boogum Boogum. And if that don't do, you try a little Ooga-ga-oosay Ooga-ga-oosay Ooga-gapoo. And if that don't do it, you give him a Psychotic Reaction! Goes something like this… In 1967, the mantle of top breadwinner at LA-based independent [...]

I Think You've Got Your Fools Mixed Up, Brenton Wood (1967)
Né Alfred Jesse Smith, Brenton Wood était prédestiné à travailler sur des voitures dans une usine d'aluminium en Californie. Le sort en a décidé autrement et on ne peut que s'en réjouir. Influencé par les Sam Cooke et autres Bobby Womack , Brenton Wood commence la musique en regardant les pianistes jouer, en reprenant leurs gimmicks et en poussant le vice un peu plus loin. Une fois son instrument maitrisé, il se penche sur les paroles des hits qu'il écoute à la radio, et la simplicité de certaines lyrics [...]
He Thinks Of One Girl
Brenton Wood "I'm the One Who Knows" I love the lightness of this arrangement – the lead guitar is like a delicate filigree, the percussion is a patient tap, the gentle buzz of the organ has a soft, pillowy quality. Wood sings about the adorable intensity of a teen boy who has fallen in love for the first time, and he sounds both bemused and nostalgic for this unguarded sweetness. The refrain "I'm the one who really knows" is a bit ambiguous, but it's clear enough that he's just looking back on his own experience as [...]
