Couldn't pass it up

I'm really looking forward to seeing what else Jónsi (most recognizable face fromcreates. His new album, Go is due out April 15th, or you can stream it direct from NPR (which I am doing right now). Regardless, this is a really beautiful track:
Jónsi--Time to Pretend (MGMT cover)

And, again, I can't but help but love the shit out of this one. Whoever the woman is in this makes it spring from decent to great!
Lil Shorty--Too $hort

Lots'o'listening!

Haze

Bleck. 14 Overnights in a row; 3 more to go. It'll all be well worth it about 12 days from now with my next paycheck.

Anyway, been barreling through bullshit with school and my internship, but here are some tunes that have cheered me up lately and I hope they'll have a similar effect on all'o'y'all!

This one is for Meghan (who probably won't read this...)
Edward Sharpe and ....--Home (RAC Remix)

And, probably my favorite track of of Bonobo's new album (which I would probably give a 11/20, sadly. The second half pulls it together)
Bonobo--Black Sands

And This song just Shreds. It goes out to an amigo of mine who might just be cooler than it.
Tunng - Hustle (Bloc Party Remix)


More comin' later on in the week, so don't be a stranger!

Shift Shift Shift

New Mexico was rad. A pretty epic drive down there including fog, blizzard and an eerie kind of catharsis upon arriving in Albuquerque. Perhaps most importantly was just getting my arse and eyes away from Denver for a chunk of time with my Beloved....

Ha!

Anyway, got some good stuff to comin' at you...

First off, Broken Bells . A collaboration between James Mercer of the Shins + The great Danger Mouse = most excellent. Anyway, never really being a super big of a fan of the Shins, this duo, however makes for a fascinating sound. Without further adoo:
Broken Bells-Sailing to Nowhere

New stuff by Rocky. Yeah.
Rocky Votolato, Red River


I'm just going to leave it at that for now...More to come soon!

A little bit of breathing room...finally

The quarter is finally over. Those last two weeks were really taking a toll on my body. I don't think I've ever felt a stress so corporal than the one that's been battle-axing through me. Anyway, I'm going to be bouncing out to the (hopefully) sunny domain of Santa Fe in a coupla hours, which I'm looking forward to. As well as longer days, with the arbitrary changing of the clocks. I guess spring is here? We'll see.

Regardless, here are a coupla tunes that are a little around the board but it's all new stuff I've been listening to this week and thought I'd share a little speck with you.

1.)Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons, Mockingbird.
--> Pretty folky, but sometimes this is the stuff that drives me. Really good sound and vibe coming from these guys.

2.) I might get some haters for this, but I like her stuff. She's got a cool story and is a part of the Doomtree Hip-Hop collective. Anyway, check it!
Dessa, Matches to Paper Dolls

3.) I don't know why, but I love the hell out of this song. Maybe you can tell me?
CatDiesel, k-os

And a Bonus. Just for fun. Hysterical but with a good sound.


Well, that't it for now. I'm a bit rushed, so excuse the lack of detail. Look for more later on in the week!

MARC(h)!

Let me start by saying that I fucking Love this month! Yay. Although it's a little bit like half-dead duck starting up at the musty gray sky outside, the devil of February is now away from us. Horray for temporally-defined superstitions!

Here's one that's fun and blood-cloting! (it's at leas the first)
Attack of the Postmodern Baboons!

This one is just clean and all over good. Another one of those bands that if you don't listen to them, well..... you should probably just get better:
Four Tet-Glue of the World

You may have heard mention of one of my new up and coming music brilliancies, Mr. Son Lux. (I threw one of his tracks up a coupla weeks ago...but you didn't read that anyway...). Well, he threw out a new EP a little minute ago and it slaughters daughters. This guy dices and slices songs you love and gives them an entire new spin. Anyway, without further ado, this one is Epic:
Son Lux-Weapons V

Oh yeah, aaaannnnddd, these guys are pretty good, I think some of you will like 'em:
Toro y Moi-Blessa

Markéd intentions

I also want these shoes. Cooler than me or you.
