The Juan MacLean - You Were A Runaway
chris on September 17 2014
Lemme break you off with another track off this recently released bad ass album. For some reason I hear elements of Fleetwood Mac in the early parts of this song. It has a similar progression to Little Lies. The entire album is a neue disco banger.
Vesuvio Solo - Don't Ask, Don't Tell
chris on September 16 2014
Just when you think you are down and out, and there is no good music left in the world. This mother effer comes along and flips your world upside down. Oh, and don't get me started on the fucking Pink Floyd style guitar shredding that swoops in from out of nowhere. Vesuvio Solo just moved the goalposts. Checkmate.
Ariel Pink - Put Your Number In My Phone
Alex on September 15 2014
In addition to the good music department - Ariel pink is not lacking in the humor department. Furthermore I wont be satisfied until I write department one more time because honestly it makes me feel really official - like I'm doing normal people office work. Senior VP of the Music Blogging Department signing out.
Midlake - Balloon Maker

TBT. Here is the absolutely wonderful track Balloon Maker off Midlake's first album from 2004, Bamnan and Slivercork. This rivals any indie music at the time, and to me holds up the greats like Neutral Milk Hotel and Pavement. Midlake is one of those lifer bands to me. One that you can't wait to play for your son 15 years from now, hoping that it shapes him the way it shaped you.
Drums - I Can't Pretend
Alex on September 08 2014
Sup bros? How was your weekend? Mine was alright - I got some new candles. One in particular smells like pine needles which reminded me that we're only weeks (maybe even hours) away from hearing fucking Christmas music blasting at various "makeyouwanttokillyouself" department stores.
