gonna keep this one short and sweet. check this one out. the artist is ok ikumi, which is actually karl jorgensen from salt lake city, ut. and the track is “shining path pt. 2″ but im not really sure if there is a part 1 and where it can be located, but i know that there is a part 3 on his myspace page. thats pretty much all i can find out about him. this track is a great example of the shi

before we begin, lets talk about how excited i am to see phish at cobo arena tonight. they havent played in michigan since 1999 and havent played in detroit since 1992 or something crazy like that. the show would be much more enjoyable if i wasnt going to be eating the 4 extra tickets that i was unable to practically give away, much less get the money back that i paid for them. disasterous. ...

i kinda really dig this track. its from the whitest boy alive, a side project of kings of convenience member erlend oye (along with sebastian maschat, marcin oz and daniel nentwig). according to wikipedia, the group started out in indonesia (which seems a little odd for a couple of scandinavians) as an electronic dance group. while they are no longer very electronic, theyve still got a nice b...

there are so many great things centered around todays track by my native detroits very own deastro. besides being a great hometown act whos made it pretty big recently, hes also signed to the great ann arbor record label ghostly international. but whats EVEN cooler than that is where i discovered this track, thanks to gt (even though its been around for a lonnnng time). he recently sent me th...

so things have been a little hectic lately around here, and to that effect i havent been doing a great job finding new stuffs to post up here. that being said, ive been rockin out to some older tunes. but youll still hopefully like them and may not have known unless i told you anyway, so lets just pretend that last sentence didnt happen. todays is a song released earlier this year, which i g...

this weeks throwback isnt THAT much of a throwback when you first think about it, but lauryn hills “the miseducation of lauryn hill” was actually released 11 years ago. how crazy is that? the former fugee frontwoman has kind of disappeared from the spotlight after some controversy and was set to make some sort of a comeback this year with a mini-tour, but that was cancelled for unspecified h

since i kicked it down a notch last friday, ill kick it up two notches this friday. today features one of my favorite tracks from the most recent peter bjorn and john album “living thing”, entitled “it dont move me”. i just never could get into “nothing to worry about” with all the kids screaming in the beginning, but this song does really hits the spot. and how do you take a great

ive been hearing todays song quite a bit lately and while it didnt immediately strike me, i kind of love the weirdness of it all now. the band is wild beasts, a quartet from kendal, england. they released their second album earlier this year, “two dancers”, which has been met with pretty critical acclaim from all sorts of media outlets and bloggers. todays song is the albums third track, th

another track today from a band that got a lot of buzz earlier this year. this time its oxymoronically named los angeles band local natives. theyve been getting much love this year but i havent listened to them other than a few songs ive heard around. but the ones i heard were enough for me to kind of like them. and theyve got some funky art stuff to check out on their website, so thats a b...

this past saturday i went to check out the bassnectar show at st andrews hall along with diana and julie. i saw his set at lollapalooza and had a blast so i figured it would be a good time, and he surely did not disappoint. which is fortunate, because i missed my friends pat and andreas party, which actually ended up being their surprise wedding. sorry pat and andrea, i will try to make it u...

well this sure was an exciting weekend. thursday night i went to see mstrkrft at the crofoot, one of my favorite venues (if not for the bouncer mentioned below). the opener was grand dad crunk who was pretty excellent. my favorite was when he dropped “little bit” by lykke li over a crazy beat. i dont know who he is, but apparently he is zozzys brother. and apparently everyone in the metro

there were approximately 1,000 saturday throwback songs that could have worked to close out uncommon chick names week, but in the end i went back to an old standard by another classic motown act, the four tops. there isnt really much to say about the four tops other than the fact that they are one of the biggest motown acts ever with close to a million big hits, but todays track “bernadette”

apologies in advance to anyone expecting a high powered friday dance track today. this fridays a bit of a slower song, but it still has a nice buildup. the track is from austin band white denim made up of james petralli, joshua block and steve terebecki and the group is perhaps one of the most unclassifiable acts out there, just because they seem to do a little of everything. not gonna lie, ...

todays going to take a bit of a turn with the country rock sounds of the sadies out of toronto. im pretty sure i heard this track a week or two ago when japandroids were hosting a show on sirius xmu and this song really got my attention, and it worked out perfectly when i checked the name of the song and it happened to be an uncommon chicks name. the sadies are also known for touring with fel...

in keeping with this weeks theme, we bring you a track from jarvis cocker, better known as the former frontman of classic indie rockers pulp. the track is “angela” from his second solo album “further complications” which was released earlier this year and is the most common of this weeks chick names. im trying to figure out what angelas job is. do you have any idea based on the clues in

today a track from one of my favorite duos of the year, handsome furs, and features another pretty uncommon chick name. this time, its evangeline. the only person i can think of with this name is evangeline lilly. and she makes me think of another chick name….damn gina! the husband and wife duo just has such a simple method that produces such a great sound. and after seeing them perform li.

as we begin a new month, it seemed like it was time for another theme week. every day this week we will be bringing you a song with a chicks name in the title. not only will these songs feature a different chicks name every day, most of the names will be pretty uncommon names. kind of makes me wish i hadnt already posted two songs i love entitled sylvia and silvia already. do you think any o...

in honor of halloween falling on a saturday (the perfect day for a holday such as this), we are switching it up a little bit and instead of a throwback, we’re going to celebrate today with a song full of halloween imagery, “my bodys a zombie for you” by dead mans bones. special thanks to both ulia and ursula for bringing this one to my attention. yes, i have two friends whose names begin w

another friday, another dj whos younger than me and wildly more successful in life. this time, its denver native travis egedy who goes by the name pictureplane. at 24 years old hes just released the album “dark rift” this year which has been getting some good attention as of late and is currently touring all over europe, only mildly awesome. ive only heard todays track from the album but it

just as we featured the band women, none of which are women, way back when even less people checked out this site, today we feature girls, another group who doesnt feature any…girls. but its almost as if the album should be called “girls” cuz thats what its all about. but i guess since they already used the name “girls” so they decided to name the album “album”. cant blame them fo
