Idiot Glee - Pinkwood

chris on January 23 2013

I call this New Yacht Rock and I'm pretty sure this little guy is channeling the spirit of Christopher Cross, and I like it. Lexington can create some tunes, and that's the truth.

Foxygen - Oh Yeah

chris on January 22 2013

Here's some more of that new new. What a wild strange trip this jam is, and guess what?! It's out today on Jagjaguwar Records.

Youth Lagoon - Dropla

Monday you fickle bitch. I just want to drink coffee and read all day - in fact.. that's probably what I'll do. Take that Monday.

Jape - One Of Those Days That Just Feels So Long

What?! Double Jape? Chris you crazy.

Blue Hawaii - Try To Be

Alex on January 18 2013

If you look up "super chill" in the dictionary its probably not there. If you look up "super chill" in my version of the dictionary there's a picture of Blue Hawaii. And as a second definition there's probably something around the lines of a ground hog sitting on a giant plush couch smoking a joint.

Jape - Floating

It's nice to feature an Irishman. If you get a sec, check the vid, dude is talented.

Pinback - Rousseau

Alex on January 16 2013

Taking it back to 1999 with this Pinback track. I'm trying to remember what I was probably doing when this album came out. Lets see.. I was 16, a candy raver, and driving my riced out Acura Integra all over Washington DC. If 29 year old me played this album for 16 year old me he'd probably ask "where's the break down and the synths? And do you have any ecstasy? Did you see Dragon Ball Z today?! ...about that ecstasy..." My taste in music was pretty out there.. I kept the cassette tape of the Akira soundtrack in my car on repeat. I suppose that's embarrassing?

Joan As Police Woman - Chemmie

chris on January 16 2013

Joan gonna kick it onstage tonight with the legendary John Cale. Oh yeah Peaches, The Magnetic Fields, Yeasayer, Mercury Rev, and Kim Gordan my pop in to say hello too.

Isaac Delusion - Transistors

chris on January 15 2013

These dudes chop up beats like a fuckin sushi chef. razor sharp.

Ra Ra Riot - Is It Too Much

alex on January 11 2013

A personal favorite returns with a new album - Beta Love. After spending some time with this album I can say it leaves me wanting something. Their previous album "The Orchard" was one of my favorites from 2010 so obviously I hold them at a pretty high standard. Perhaps losing their incredibly sexy cellist Alexandra Lawn plays a pretty big part in this. After all.. their previous music was driven by symphonic strings which have all been replaced by synths in this current release.

With that said.. I'll leave you with a picture of Alexandra Lawn -because I can.
