Don't you hate it when something really exciting happens and you aren't allowed to talk about it. These are all things I will be able to share in the near future, I don't like surprises but that's the way it goes sometimes. Fuck it's like the moment I turned 30 and things just started falling into place. 20's were the "make mistakes but make sure you are also working hard at whatever it is you love to do." Get your heart broken, clean up the mess, pick yourself back up and do it all again until you hit 30 if ...
We Are The Hearts... Have you ever denied yourself the opportunity to make the right decision? i.e. You know shouldn’t take a job for the money, you know the person you’re with isn’t right for you, but you do it anyway, you carry on for the wrong reasons. What makes us so reluctant to choosing our nobler influences and why are we ruled by habitual vices, weak to our desires? Those are tough questions but often times it’s our own ego hidden in the form of intellect that gives credence to our ego supported qualities. The intellect is nothing more than a middle man ...
The original "Wicked Games" by Chris Isaak has to be one of my favorite songs, the lyrics, and the luring strums of the guitar, it's so effortlessly beautiful and timeless. So when I heard this original mix from Parra For Cuva & Anna Naklab I fell in love all over again. I can shamelessly say that I am in love and it doesn't matter with what or with who, so you can just keep on guessing, but the original is what plays in my head on a weekly basis, and now depending on my mood I now have two versions ...
I've been a little under the weather the past few days but I guess that's just the time of year that's why I always like to find new tunes that are a little more upbeat but still have an aggressive message, I just think the majority of us are feeling a little more aggression around this time. Marina & The Diamonds really hit home lyrically in this track. I have to always stop and remind myself that maybe when we feel a distance from someone in our lives or anything in general its not necessarily us, but maybe the weather or ...
It takes a little patience to get into Animal Collective but if you manage to make sense of their dream world of sound you’ll be handsomely rewarded. Here some of the more noteworthy tracks from their ninth studio album, Merriweather Post Pavillion.
Animal Collective – Brother Sport
Animal Collective – Summertime Clothes
Here’s the outro from the upcoming French DJ Crew, Birdy Nam Nam album. Starts off very very slow and then turns into the typical Justice head banger. Not quite “Cross†quality but you decide.
Birdy Nam Nam – The Parachute Ending (Prod. by JUSTICE)
This song just doesn’t get old. Incredible cover.
Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel – Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (Vampire Weekend Cover)
Been digging a lot of Lo-fi bands lately, interesting genre. If you can keep an open mind and manage to get past the sound you’ll be surprised to find some cool shit . These guys are from Portland and have been getting a little buzz lately. This song is from their recently finished “Wild and Inside†album.
Eat Skull – Waiting For the Hesitation
Posted a Lilly Allen cover of this a few weeks back, here’s another version by Timid Tiger. Good stuff.

The lyrics in this song are great, very punk. Here’s the Cut Copy remix. Good stuff.
Kaiser Chiefs – Never Miss A Beat (Cut Copy Remix)
Here’s a song from your favorite environmentalist/anarchist, Larkin Grimm. This song has a very spaghetti western feel to it, a little errie but cool. Listen for the background vocals & violin arrangements. From her most recent album, “Parplar.†Keepin’ folk alive.
Larkin Grimm – Ride That Cyclone
New year, new music. Looks like The Rifles are finally ready to release their second album, The Great Escape. Here’s the first release, good stuff.
The difference a little diversity makes is immediately evident for Friendly Fires. Quite what has held back the milieu of meandering morons that make up the music scenes mid range, mid class, middlemen is probably this intelligent and creative leap; crossing genres and keeping your opus open and fresh.†– MusicOMH.com
Big on the Friendly Fires, bigger on Lykke Li, incredible cover.
This is awesome. Very talented band, check out their album, The Age Of The Understatement.
The Last Shadow Puppets – S.O.S. (Rihanna Cover)
