Back at it again with an 8-track mix sure to please. Enjoy and happy weekend. 1. Classixx - Holding On Fresh off their new LP Hanging Gardens , 'Holding On' shows off this LA duo's knack for dance rhythms with a little flavor. 2. Afrolicious - Pleasure Time I've been in love with Afrolicious, and this track has been around for a while. BUT, they've re-recorded their best tracks for their first true LP California Dreaming . Previously under the ESL music moniker, they're now selling their album on bandcamp under [...]
Hey now - april floods will hopefully bring may flowers. But like the rain, great music has been flooding in over the last few weeks, and that doesn't even take into account Daft Punk's much, much, much-awaited LP due out in about a month. With that, wanted to give you a mix of 8 songs to chew on. Enjoy. 1. Portugal. The Man - Purple Yellow Red and Blue Great to see that a new album from Portugal the Man is due out in the not so distant future (june 4). A steady [...]
I'm trying to find a manageable way to get back into the music blogosphere, so here's an attempt to get back to it. I'll try to post semi-regularly, mostly of the 'mix' variety via soundcloud or 8tracks. Would love to hear feedback.
New Coldplay Track. I feel compelled to post their first new single in 3 years. The song features a sample of Peter Allen's "I Go to Rio". Enjoy. Listen to " Every Teardrop is a Waterfall "

British lo-fi outfit made groundbreaking work with their debut Thunder, Lightning, Strike. A blend of hip-hop, pop, electronic, bossa nova, and 70s elevator music, The Go! Team was bringing something fresh and untapped. The new-found success surely affected their approach to the next critically acclaimed Proof of Youth , as they moved closer and closer towards becoming a one-dimensional hip-hop non-sequitur. Not my cup of tea, but I will readily admit that The Go! Team's latest Rolling Blackouts is absolutely wonderful. Strangely nostalgic in its sound, Rolling Blackouts goes back to [...]

Terrible band name, yes, but they've got an insanely catchy song "The Golden Age" featured in a Heineken commercial this past week. The song is actually a couple years old, but there's no time limit on an awesome track. Listen to " The Golden Age " Click here to view the embedded video.

I'll admit I've never the biggest fan of TV On the Radio. I thought they were getting accolades for doing nothing but putting out lo-fi esoteric sounds. That said, I'll never turn down a great song. "Will Do" comes off of TV on the Radio's 5th LP Nine Types of Light . It begins with a bluesy twinge, as twinkling ivory trickles in ever so slowly, only to be perfectly complemented by a slow pulsating bass line. Note: Best wishes to Gerard Smith, bassist/keyboardist for TV on the Radio, who was recently diagnosed [...]

-- So I'm staring at my TV the other day, and bam, another awesome Amazon Kindle commercial comes on. I've got no crazy love for the Kindle, but I have to say that all their adverts are intriguing as they are simple. And what's this distinctly retro vibe of a single guitar and a cowbell? [...]

It's pretty crazy to think that The Weepies husband-and-wife duo of Deb Talan and Steven Tannen have already come out with their 4th LP Be My Thrill! What with a rather young child in tow, I would understand how a studio album and a 36-city tour would be arduous. I could wax more about the [...]
You feel that? Yeah, there's a funky groove in the air and we got to let it percolate. Tennishero - "Midnight Love" Smooth as silk synths combined with a captivating riff, Tennishero knows how to do it right. New Order - "Jetstream (Jacques Lu Cont 2nd Mix)" Pretty pedestrian mix until you get to about [...]
Never back Sufjan into a corner. Never try to stereotype him. Don't even think about creating a new genre so you can describe him and his music. Why? Because he'll disappoint you. He'll tell you that he's going to play catch with you, and he stands you up. He'll blow your mind and he'll frustrate [...]
