Son Lux - No Crimes

Alex on November 06 2013

So this album happened and blew my fucking mind... but more importantly I experienced what could possibly the most first world problem. Last night I had an internal debate over whether to order the shittier Chinese food which comes with a fortune cookie or the better tasting Chinese food which comes sans cardboard destiny treat. After much internal deliberation the better tasting Chinese food prevailed. Now I'm left here with great chicken and fried rice but no future.

Midlake - Antiphon

I walked along with my head down, meandering through the humdrum of daily existence. Then I heard something... Something calling from the distance. It was Midlake, and now all is well with the world.

Midlake - The Old and The Young

alex on November 04 2013

Midlake returns- this time with a new singer. I was skeptical about this album but it grew on me pretty quickly. For those not familiar with Midlake their singer/songwriter left the band to fend for themselves. Eric Pulido, their guitarist, stepped up to bat at vocals. Personally I don't think Midlake has ever sounded better, so rock on Eric Pulido and Midlake for your perseverance. I'll leave you with a quote from Pulido responding to why the band stuck together - "I remember Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips once told us â€” a long time ago, when they graciously had us on tour â€” he said, 'You know, if I could give you one piece of advice ... .' And we're all waiting with bated breath to hear what Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips would send down from heaven and give us this piece of advice. And he says, 'Just stay together.' You know, it was so simple, but it's right," Pulido says. "If it's there, keep going."

Darkside - Paper Trails

chris on October 30 2013

There is so much music that comes into the world everyday that I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed. I mean, I reached my maximum of peoples names that I can remember about 8 years ago. So... I'm pretty much fucked. I need an intern just for reminding me of songs I like. A braintern. Sorry brainterns, I can't offer college credit. Or money.

Lucius - Hey, Doreen

Alex on October 30 2013

I'm finally coming up for air. I've been working freelance in house the past week and a half + coming home then doing work for my other clients - hence the lack of posts. The finish line is finally in sight and soon I can return to my usual routine of thinking of funny stuff to write on this semi-alright blog, working 1-2 hours a day, and doing 2-4 hours of jiu jitsu a day. I have my priorities totally in check.

Ty Segall - The Keepers

chris on October 29 2013

I think the most terrifying thing would be to have a functioning mind and a failing body. Trapped inside like a silent prison with no escape. That and Velociraptors.

Phantogram - Black Out Days

Alex on October 25 2013

I'd like to propose the idea of a giant space heater to heat all of New York City during the Winter. Who's on board?

Night Panther - Delta

Night Panther has the good stuff. You know, the right stuff. The stuff that separates the men from the boys.

Mo - Maiden

YACHT - Phychic City (Classixx Remix)

chris on October 21 2013

This song literally made me happy. I wasn't happy and then I heard this. Take note psychiatrists of the world. I have stumbled upon audio prozac.
