Santigold – Disparate Youth

I will admit to having missed out on Santigold’s first album. The same thing will not happen this time around. This track is great and I’m anxiously awaiting more.

Great video for a great tune from one of last year’s greatest albums.

Also, the reference for the title of this post:

Feist makes better music in the back seat of a cab than most performers make in a studio

Wilco, Nick Lowe, and (the great) Mavis Staples go in on a great song

Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know remixed by Bibio

This Gotye track is all over the place it seems.

I definitely enjoy the original, but this Bibio remix is hot.

Electric Guest

Everything Danger Mouse turns to gold. Gorillaz. The Black Keys. Broken Bells. That Dark Night of the Soul album. Last year’s epic Rome album. All gold.

Go ahead and guess who claims production credit for Electric Guest.

This track “Troubleman” is 9 minutes of greatness. Take a listen.

I’m kicking the tires on a new thing - attempting to prove that good music videos are not dead. 5 videos at a time. Round 1

Ren Harvieu

kwjr — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:29:34 +0000

Tonight in 2012 releases I’m looking forward to, we have Ren Harvieu. Go here and listen to Ren sing. All three tracks are worth a listen, but Forever In Blue and Through the Night are on permanent late-snowy-night repeat tonight.

In the Bleak Midwinter

Christmas season is in full swing, so I thought I’d share a pretty great Christmas “album” I put together. I think it captures the feel and spirit of an awesome poem called In the Bleak Midwinter by Christina Rossetti published in 1904. Check out the poem, then click the image above to listen to some of my absolute favorite Christmas songs.

New music from a band I love: MUTEMATH

I loved their debut LP and both of their EPs are interesting listening. This track is from their new EP (and I assume it’ll be on their soon-to-be-released LP). Hand claps are always fun, no?

Mute Math (sometimes typeset as MUTEMATH or MuteMath) is a Grammy Award nominated American rock band from New Orleans that formed in 2003. Their music consists of many elements such as alternative rock, new wave, electro rock, psychedelic rock, and post-rock with ambient vocals. The group consists of Paul Meany on Rhodes piano, bass, keytar, keyboards, samples, vocals, and more recently, guitar; Darren King on drums, samples, and programming; Greg Hill on guitars and vocals; and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas on bass guitar, upright bass, and bass drum.
