Rhye - The Fall

I swiped this from This Music Doesnt Suck. Smooth operator. Sick bass riffs, building vocals, drum fills, and trumpet suprises around every corner.

Tim Fitz - The Line

alex on October 01 2012

For some reason I'm really stoked for it to be Monday. Most likely due to the fact I get to work on LAR all week again. I tweeted Tim Fitz' band camp - go get his album for free or donate like I did --- because some people need donations to maintain a relatively free service but when their user base doesn't donate they have to redesign their website to support a boat load of ads. I've closed donations and those who were kind enough to donate (40 people out of about 15,000 regular listeners) will be recieving perks on V5 of left as rain. To everyone who has donated - we really appreciate it, youre good people.

Crystal Castles - Wrath Of God

alex on September 28 2012

On the off chance anyone is wondering how long I've worked on the new version of left as rain in the past 4 days - the number is 46 hours. One may refer to what I'm doing at the moment as slightly obsessive.... In other news: I make an angry face when I listen to this song - just because.

Alex is grinding away at coding a new site, LaR V5. Next stage is to get all up in yo interface.

Delicate Steve - Two Lovers

chris on September 26 2012

Hey dude, why dont you just chill out. Be exactly like this song and take it easy. Now that I think about it, two lovers seems like a terribly stressful situation to be in.

Dinosaur Jr - Stick A Toe In

This song could totally make it to my movie soundtrack. I dream of 90s though. Back in the all or nothing days.

Love him or hate him.. the dude makes good music.

Memory Tapes - Pink Stones

alex on September 22 2012

This track makes me feel like I'm driving through neo tokyo on an electric motorcycle bathing in flashing neon lights. yes - that was an Akira reference. The Akira reference in question came from the same guy who had a license plate which said Akira-28 - marinate on that listeners.

Dinosaur Jr. - Watch The Corners

chris on September 21 2012

Damn, now I have some walking home music that segways into shredding Friday night music. This video will take you back too, especially if you were the girl who went for that bad boy type.

Evangelicals - Skeleton Man

chris on September 20 2012

Hi God, how are you doing today? Good? Awesome. While I have your attention can I ask you for one quick thing? I don't ask you for much, but if it's not too much trouble can you put this knife out of my left eye?! Holy hangover. Oh yeah, for those who read this and are not God, this album is and has always been fucking amazing. Oh, and Pitchfork and KCRW, get your head out of your ass.
