my heart has flown to you like a dove, it can fly♫ Hot Chip – Take It InHot Chip have a new album slated for February and this is the first taste. The impeccably titled One Life Stand is probably one of the more anticipated album of 2010. Ever since their 2004 debut Coming On Strong, they have been upping their…
can’t you see the angels have run into the dark♫ Drop The Lime – Devil’s EyesIt’s Friday again so I thought you guys and gals might like a little dance-candy for your weekend. “Devil’s Eyes” is the kind of jam to put on while you get ready for a party because you can bust moves in your underwear and sing along…
one gets all of you, two’s jealous♫ Cold War Kids – Audience Of OneCold War Kids are back!! Hell yeah! Their debut album, Robbers And Cowards, is one of the most solid rock albums of recent years and then they done fell off with Loyalty To Loyalty. “Audience Of One” is a solid return to the wobbly blues rock of their…
it is the person’s eyes that have the answers♫ Magic Wands – Black MagicMagic Wands are lovers making music and we know that lovers can make some damn good music. They are from Los Angeles, via Nashville (or something), and their Magic, Love & Dreams EP is out now. “Black Magic” is the EP’s standout jam and is itself like a…
i want back the years that you took when i was young♫ William Fitzsimmons – I Don’t Feel It Anymore (Song of the Sparrow) I don’t know much about William Fitzsimmons but I do know that he is marvelous. He has a marvelous voice, a marvelous beard, and a marvelous back story. How does someone looking so gruff sound like silk…
i can’t stop to do what i really should not when it feels so good♫ Jinder – Youth BloodJinder used to go by ‘Little Jinder’ but has dropped the diminutive for her new single “Youth Blood.” It’s kinda weird ’cause there is a dude in the UK who goes by Jinder but I guess a name is like youth; use…
now i’m in love, the problem’s solved♫ Penguin Prison – A Funny ThingYou may remember Penguin Prison from his simmering remix of “I Am Not A Robot” from a while back. The New York based dude is finally on the scene with a quality jam of his own. He dropped “Animal Animal” a bit ago but despite a Mike Tyson reference…
both heels clickin’ like they runnin’ in the same race♫ The Cool Kids x Hey Champ – (We Are) ChampionsThe Cool Kids make hip-hop, and they exist in the world. I’m fine with that. I’m just not that into their stuff. Bring Hey Champ into the mix and now you have my attention. Apparently “Champions” is a track by The Cool…
you could be singing, singing, singing♫ Silver Columns – Brow BeatenLook, nobody knows who Silver Columns are but that’s completely irrelevant when we know what their music sounds like! And even less relevant when their music sounds like this. I don’t care if my asshole I makes noises this awesome, I will still dance to them. So let’s move beyond,…
make time to get lucky and find favour with the freaks♫ Golden Silvers – True No. 9 Blues (True Romance)Golden Silvers released True Romance earlier this year but it’s infectious finger-snappers are just now making it to me. Better late than never! “True No. 9 Blues” is instantly lovable and ups the game of the life-lesson jam. (The lyrics are recommended reading.)…
i had to flip nuttin’ and turn it into somethin’♫ Wyclef Jean – Gone Till November / 1997Yeah, I know it’s a cheap move to feature this on in November but just deal with it. It’s pertinent. Wyclef’s solo debut, The Carnival, was my jam back in the day. I haven’t heard it in years and perusing the tracklist I can…
These jams aren’t worthy of their own post but I know I was curious. You might be too.David Guetta & Akon – Sexy Bitch – Just in case you somehow missed this one, don’t sleep. “I’m trying to find the words to describe this girl without being disrespectful.” Brilliant.Them Crooked Vultures – New Fang – A supergroup of Josh Homme, Dave Ghrol,…
what’s there to love as you smile up at me?♫ MillionYoung – HammockMillionYoung is pretty magical. Whether you are into his more spaced-out dreamscapes (”Chlorophyl,” Sundreamn”), or his more beat-heavy dreamscapes (”Weak Ends,” “Hammock” – above) you are gonna get some dreamscapes. What sets these dreamscapes apart from all the other ones that have been making the rounds thi
there’s nothing like finding gold within the rocks hard and cold♫ The Avett Brothers – Kick Drum HeartOk, so I’m super late to The Avett Brothers. The North Carolina trio (only 2 of which are Avetts) have a million albums out already but I only heard them recently. It was my mother on the phone, she was telling me to…
♫ Do Make Say Think – DoA 10 minute and 40 second song? Are you kidding me? That’s half an episode of The Simpsons! 8 viewings of this hilarious laughing baby clip! Few songs over 5 minutes can keep my interest, let alone double that and without lyrics! Well, leave it up to the Canadians to figure out a way. Toronto’s…
it’s been so long since you said ‘well i know what i want and what i want’s right here with you’♫ Tegan & Sara – The OceanIt’s been 2 weeks since I dropped “Hell” on you to celebrate the release of Tegan & Sara’s Sainthood. That day I started listening to the album and it’s been on steady rotation since.…
kids idolize us, mothers all despise us♫ Get Busy Committee – My Little RazorbladeYeah, we’ve all heart The Knife’s “Heartbeats” a million times buy Get Busy Committee have just earned your ears by trowing their fresh hip-hop flavor up in it. My Little Razorblade is both cocaine anthem and cautionary tale, mixing stories as effortlessly as that koala handles his…
i tried and fell, only time will tell♫ Drummer – Feel Good TogetherYes, Drummer is a dumb name for a band, but when you learn that the five dudes in Drummer are all in fact drummers, then it is kind of OK. When you hear the music they make, then it is more than OK. Naturally they aren’t all drumming…
you know that three is a crowd but two is an act♫ NineLives The Cat – Crash Test Kitten (feat. Kitten)I kinda dig the album art but it makes it seem like the music is going to be super lo-fi and unlisteable which really couldn’t be farther from the truth. Australian-bred NineLives The Cat covers a whole gamut of vibes…
you touch yourself however and you watch what you want anyway♫ Drink Up Buttercup – Even ThinkThis song is like a demented carnival ride that is shaking with so much energy it could unhinge at any moment. At first you know it’s a little off but then that become the magic. Its dirty and fun and makes you want to…
