Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
I want to go to Copenhagen and buy a round for the band members of Alcoholic Faith Mission. It’s simple, what beautiful music they make. Take a look see at the bands official video for the song “Ask Me This” taken from their latest LP of the same name. And if you get a golden opportunity to see this band live I implore you to take it. You can find them on tour, perhaps even someplace nearby. Enjoy. Peace. Continue reading “Alcoholic Faith Mission // Ask Me This (Official Video)”
Yeah, we know Portland is one of the bestest locals on the planet for indie rock bands and the fans who adore them. So, it is of little surprise that local band favorite Mean Jeans is much beloved for making lots of cool punk noise. Billy Jeans, Jeans Wilder and Freak Daniels make it sound like a whole lot of joyful, mayhap, inebriated fun. Check out the squirrely video for the song “Anybody Out There” shot and cut by Brett Roberts. Sure, it’s cheesy but cheese goes well on the great big sandwich of life. By the by, this fun song is just 1 of 13 from MJ‘s latest album On Mars available on iTunes and Amazon. Peace. Continue reading “Mean Jeans // Anybody Out There”
Without a shred of doubt Moby is a veritable sound messiah sent to aid in the deliverance of sub par musical choices. He leads us, rather melodically, out of the wasteland pop music purgatory and into the lofty heights of his very own refuge of musical bliss. Oh yeah, it’s like that and that’s just the way it is. Now, enter another indisputable icon, David Lynch. And really there is little left to say but enjoy and get your musical worship on. By the way, you get the “The Poison Tree (David Lynch Remix) as a FREE DOWNLOAD courtesy of my friends at RCRD LBL. Peace. Continue reading “Moby // The Poison Tree (David Lynch Remix)”
When it comes to music you can’t fool the ears. They recognize good music when they hear it. The ears bypass the brain and communicate directly with the heart; and together they listen. Each passing the music between them like a shared bottle of the finest ambrosia. Each shedding tears of joy at the sad beauty of it all. Jake Mattison creates music destined to be concealed in the eardrum and lodged permanently in the hallowed chambers of one’s cor caroli; the brightest star in your body’s constellation. Listen to “To The Old House (You Return) and “Sorrow” and know beauty delivered on the fragile wings of song. Despite pain, setbacks and whatever else life has thrown at you. Jake Mattison grabs his guitar, opens his mouth and settles the troubled waters around us. Thus buoying our forbearance and steeling our nerves to breathe the deep breath of hope. His music allows us to swim to safety, giving us resolve. Enough to at least seek peace and approach respite, with our ears attentively cocked and listening, asking nothing more. Peace. Continue reading “Jake Mattison // To The Old House (You Return) Our Sunday Best”

And better yet, this Alex Clare original, “Too Close” gets the Nice Pusch treatment, thus making an already sexy song absolutely irresistible. And what’s better? You can get it as a FREE DOWNLOAD! The song is taken from The Lateness Of The Hour LP available now on iTunes. I got you playing this one over and over again. Peace. Continue reading “Alex Clare // Too Close (Nico Pusch Remix)”
If you like the club scene and you like to dance until your feet holla’ stop gotdamnit! Then you can’t go wrong with a Skrillex collaboration, no way, no how. So, I’m bringing the party with two great selections. First up, the Skrillex & Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley, “Make It Bum Dem” and it’s hot like fire! And it doesn’t stop there, no way! Second, it’s Kaskade and Skrillex laying waste to the track, “Lick It”! Who says House and Dubstep can’t commingle and still bring it?! Peace. Continue reading “skrillex & damian “jr. gong” marley // make it bum dem”
According to their official biography, “Before today is yesterday and after tomorrow is the future, Elyte and Cnyce’s paths were crossed for all time when a Sun Ra light beam sent from Saturn collided with the P-Funk Mothership and sent them tumbling to earth. Now, Soul Clap time travels on a musical spaceship of dopeness.” Yes, that’s how it all went down, and aren’t we the lucky ones to now have this space-traveling and soul sound-bending duo (Cnyce and Elyte) bka Soul Clap amongst us? And, we thank the universe for delivering Soul Clap safely unto our collective ear spaces. I’m just thankful their EFUNK album is now living and breathing amongst us mere mortals, and just you know it’ll blow your hair back. The 13-track album in now available on iTunes for your pleasure. So, do you and your own private Idaho a favor and cop this moment in space for all of eternity, or at least until the mother ship comes and collects us. Peace. Continue reading “Soul Clap // EFUNK”
It is always a good when time when Daniel Bortz is spinning the wheels of steel and mixing it up. Check out his Heal The World EP out now via Berlin-based Suol Records. And although the whole EP is sweet the last track “Rescue Me” takes you there. I have a feeling you’ll like it, so crank it and let it do what it do. Peace. Continue reading “Daniel Bortz // Rescue Me”
Deidre (of Savoir Adore fame) has a style drawn for an abundance of influences. I hear dashes of Morrissey, a sprinkle of Portishead and a smidgen of Robert Smith/The Cure. But the music is also heavily steeped in classic 50’s and early 60’s girl groups, think i.e. Patience And Prudence and The Lennon Sisters, you get my drift, right? Nonetheless, the song “Don’t Blame Me Now” from the Curious Parcel EP (2011) is some kind of wonderful. I’m lovin’ it! Peace. Continue reading “Deidre & The Dark // Don’t Blame Me Now”
Yeah! You witnessed Rap legend Tupac Shakur make his posthumous debut at Coachella in all his holographic majesty this week and wasn’t it grand? And now sit back and let this club banger wash over you! This track is spliced, diced, and served up extra nice by none other than ATL’s very own Hayden Kramer bka heRobost and in his very capable hands “Lover’s Duet” turns out smooth like butta’! Play it loud. Oh! Before it slips my mind, right here and right now you can cop a FREE DOWNLOAD of “Lover’s Duet”. Peace. Continue reading “heRobost // Lover’s Duet (Ft. 2pac & Notorious B.I.G.)”
