Dear Deerhunter: I Love You
Listen to me. Deerhunter is f*cking amazing. They’re one of those bands that’s exploding creatively, and you should see them. I’m really afraid something awful will happen to them. I mean, more awful. The albums are great, but it’s all about the live, live live. This song is literally [...]
Nuf Said
Elvis Presley - Sand Castles
Elvis Presley - Queenie Wahine’s Papaya

Just Gimme
Took down the most recent breaks track yesterday, and I’ll be darned if the site didn’t just feel so cold this morning. Shake it, ass, shake it!!! I love the beats!!!
Autobots vs. Sean Paul - Gimme The Boot
Yeah, You Do The Math
The K.G.B. was this amazing band of cute private school boys that laid down some East Bay Grease. Unfortunately, they were already signed to Dreamworks as a pop band when they discovered their true calling, and the rest is sad history.

Bonus “Hello”
If you love “Hello” as much as I do, or if you don’t, please see.
Also, please visit The Hello Experiment.

The Jam - In The City from In The City (insound / amazon / itunes)
One More Warning Sound

The Replacements - We’re Comin’ Out from [...]
A Wiggle In The Middle
John Hartford was a supergenius. He wrote “Gentle On My Mind,” got paid, then invented one of the smallest genres of all time, crackpot folk/bluegrass. He recorded Aereo-Plain in 1971 with a ton of talented musicians, and pretty much wrote about whatever came into his noggin. It’s one of my very favorites, [...]
I Want You To Know
Here’s another one for the “maybe you’ve already heard it a million times, but someone out there hasn’t heard it at all yet” files. With bonus video. Dream your weekend away.
Grizzly Bear - Knife from Yellow House (insound / amazon / itunes)
