New The Field Ambient Album “Loops of Your Heart”
2 Hours of Dustin Wong Live on WFMU
I think this is from a couple years ago, but nice to listen to if it’s your first time or revisit if you’ve listened before.

La Blogotheque Takeaway Show: Cee Lo Green
This isn’t the best take away show i’ve seen (The National anyone?) but i come away pretty impressed with Cee Lo’s ability to make it look so easy, especially those high notes (and his ability to pull off having no laces on his run DMC-era adidas, tongues hangin out and all). Cee Lo Green | [...]

Dustin Wong “Pink Diamond”
-
Artist:
I recently gave in and reluctantly purchased a used car after not having one for 4 years. This was an old used car that I bought where the cd player barely worked, but it did have a cassette deck. On a trip to Soundgarden I found their small cassette section and picked up Dustin Wong’s [...]

Stream Nada Surf’s New Album “The Stars Are”
-
Artist:
Pitchfork gave this album a measley 4.4, but I wouldn;t really expect them to understand that Nada Surf aren’t a band that are going to be breaking new ground in music but are probably one of the most consistent indie-pop bands out there. I find their albums to be very infectious and something I can [...]

Video: Active Child’s “Hanging On”
-
Artist:
One of the more underrated albums of last year was the seemingly out-of-nowhere You Are All I See; the debut from Active Child. The band is basically just Patt Grossi, and if you’re into M83 (minus the “epic-ness”) you’ll probably dig this album (he opened for M83 last November). The second single, “Hanging On”, gives [...]

Cass McCombs Plays Ottobar This Saturday
-
Artist:
Whenever the cold weather sets in and it’s dark by 5:30PM I tend to veer towards more singer/songwriter type tunes. So it’s kind of perfect that one of the better ones of the past year, Cass McCombs, who put out two (!) albums last year, is coming to town to play the Ottobar this Saturday [...]

Tycho “A Walk” on KCRW
-
Artist:
One of my favorite albums of last year is Tycho’s “Dive” LP, best listened to at sunset or sunrise (or really any part of the day for that matter). The album is just chalked full of washed out electronic yumminess. However, I never really considered what this album would sound like live, or if it [...]

New Leonard Cohen “Darkness”
-
Artist:
In my opinion, one of the best songs of all time is Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody’s Talking”. If there is ever a stressfull day, it can be quickly cleared up with that song as soon as the opening chords come in. I digress, Leonard Cohen has a new song out as a lead-up to his new [...]

Italo Disco Throwback: Claudja Barry’s “Boogie Woogie Dancin’ Shoes”
-
Artist:
So I got a new car recently and have a free 3-month subscription to Sirius radio, resulting in my immediate discovery of their Studio 54 station, which played this 1979 italo gem during my commute this morning. Certainly a great way to get a friday (and the upcoming weekend) started. Wiki tells me that Claudja [...]
