young magic // you with air (official video)

only real // back seat kissers

here’s the deal, some experiences should be experienced or re-remembered at best. better yet, a reenactment is in order! bringing to the fore the glory days of those stolen moments engrossed in the fine art of tongue wrestling. listen to west londoner only real as he unleashes the playful and exuberantly bouyant, “backseat kissers”. so, whether you’re actually young or just young at heart there is nothing wrong with a lil’ bump-n-grinding (even with all your clothes on and mayhap a few buttons and zippers resisting their design purpose) this one which puts the starch in formerly starch-less places and a healthy glow upon one’s cheeks. peace.

nathan k. // ghosts (dit session #24)

if you’re not familiar with the homespun music of nathan k. (Nathan Klages) then it is about time you take a few minutes and sit back and absorb the work-a-day music of this incredible michigan-based singer/songwriter. nathan’s soulfully wholesome album ‘dishes’ came out this summer, from which the beautiful track, “ghost” is taken. after the jump check out the dit session #24 for the previous mentioned track. how mr. k captures so much raw emotional tumult is both heart wrenching and a total explosion of happy/sad tears all at the some time. for more, check out nathan k.’s bob seger video and shiver at it’s majesty and grace. it’s as if every time nathan picks up a guitar and sets his honest mouth and accompanies the mercurial michigan clime, the airwaves rattle with the bones of truth. peace.
