Chrome Sparks - Marijuana

Alex on June 14 2013

I just found out April 18 is national high five day. I'm going to start practicing right now for next year's high five day. I'm gonna be high fiving people so hard their fingers will blow right off their hands and they'll only be able to celebrate high four day.

When Your Love Is Safe - Active Child - Classixx Remix

chris on June 13 2013

I love when tracks you think are un-remixable turn out to be remix magic. Still waiting on someone to attempt Bon Iver. Challenge?

Wreckless Eric - Whole Wide World

chris on June 13 2013

This is passion. When no rocky mountain, nor raging river, nor stormy ocean, nor savage beast, nor dark jungle can keep you away from her. I'd go the whole wide world just to find ya.

Alpine - Hands

Alex on June 12 2013

Thanks to Portland based LAR listener Kyle for the heads up on this bad ass band. After listening to their A Is for Alpine 3 times in a row I can 100% attest to this band's greatness.

Washed Out - It All Feels Right

Alex on June 11 2013

Washed Out returns with their latest single - It All Feels Right. Yes, that is correct... another Washed Out hit about feeling things. Who could ever forgot Feel it All Around? Yet another track from Washed Out that hits you right in the feels.

Glass Candy - Geto Boys

chris on June 11 2013

Whats that? You want the white hot fire? Well get a little taste of this. Glass Candy covering the Geto Boys classic, Mind Playing Tricks On Me. Dayum son.

Hayden James - Permission to Love

chris on June 07 2013

Like you don't need anyones permission to love man. Like noone can tell you who or who you like can't love man. The only one who can give you permission to love is like God man, and he gave it to you the day you were born man. Like yeah. Heavy.

Giraffage - Move Me (feat. Jhameel and DWNTWN)

Alex on June 07 2013

Rainy Friday music. Rainy days always make me feel so defeated, like my girlfriend just left me for a street mime.

Pure Bathing Culture - Pendulum

chris on June 06 2013

So the Chicago Sun Times fires all of their photography staff and just tells the journalists to snap off some iPhone pics instead. Quite possibly one of the dumbest things I've heard in a while. I want to punch myself in the face because of the state of things.

Gabe Wax - Saddest of Views

Alex on June 05 2013

Gabe Wax submitted his music to LAR November of 2011 (you can find him by searching the site for Carroll), since then I've been an admirer of his work. There's no doubt in my mind Gabe Wax will unveil an LP someday and become a household name. Keep up the good work, brother.

In other news: I was just riding the L train (standing holding the pole because somehow I justify that as "exercise."), I noticed an odd character sitting there holding a magazine to her face. For those of you who commute in NYC on public transportation you're quite familiar with the fact that every train ride you see something pretty weird. Just as I brushed her off as just another odd character on my commute the doors began to close on the train - Odd bird ran full speed into my arm holding the pole and clothes lined the shit out of herself.. she crawled to the door to keep it open. I proceeded to watch the door close on her twice before it dawned on me to help her and hold the doors open. She finally exits the train with, which what some people would consider, the least graceful train dismount since the birth of the MTA. at this point everyone on the train is looking at me like "wtf, bro??" I then proceed to say to myself "What the fuck just happened?" but my music was playing so loud in my ear buds I'm pretty sure it came out as "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!" Just another day in Brooklyn...
