Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
It’s a warm sweater // My lover’s breath in my face // A harkening of pinned flame to lips.
This song, let it soundtrack every wondrous occurrence worth remembrance. The beauty of Sufjan Stevens is simply the honest nature of his tenderly crafted songs. I’ve been listening to this fellow Michigander as of late, and the rarefied song “Damascus” is a constant favorite. Grab you lover tonight and enjoy. Peace.
I want to take Sarah Barthel on a date, take her someplace nice and show her a really good time; Josh Carter you can even Continue reading “Phantogram – Don’t Move”
A guitar. Her acoustic guitar. A voice. Her haunting voice. This voice belongs to Sara Kermanshahi and when her music is playing it is the only light in the room. Needless to say her voice has a chafed and corporeal quality to it that I love. It is reminiscent of the scorched remnants of a bruised and curling flower petal languishing in the potent light of the sun. A mouthful I know, but she does this to me; makes me feel such heartful emotions. Her album Naturboy is resilient and beautiful; as only a somber collection of songs can be. Listen to the entire album below and soon you’ll notice you’re disappearing into the music too. Peace.
Mere minutes into the LP you’ll know the album Both Ways Open Jaws isn’t your typical album and you’re right. The duo consisting of Olivia Merilahti and Dan Levy, collectively known as The Dø, offer a unicorn of sorts among common earth bound steeds. Continuing the unicorn theme a bit further, this equine beast has an alicorn transmitting some funky, albeit wondrously groovy tracks. Out of the gate the album opens with the endearing “Dust It Off” and unfolds with a kaleidoscope of various gems, like “The Wicked & The Blind” and “Bohemian Dances”. Will The Dø surprise you in so many uncharacteristic and wondrous ways? Yes. Is the music unnaturally spectacular? Also, yes. You can stream the entire album via Consequence Of Sound. Peace.

Like a long lost memory when rap was, if not purer then fresh, and inundated with “good feel” vibes. Philadelphia’s very own Has-Lo is set to drop his spectacular Conversation B LP November 15th. This album is sick with it, and with good reason with some of the hottest underground producers under the sun. Listen to all 14 tracks below and marvel at the supremacy of Has-Lo. Peace.
So sorry I wasn’t able to make the Ann Arbor show tonight. I am such a big Blind Pilot fan. I would love to hear from anyone who attended the performance tonight. Maybe next time. I’ll just have to console myself with listening to their latest album “We Are The Tide”. Also visit Expunged Records for so much more. Peace.

Some songs you listen to and soon thereafter they fade into the sunset. Then there are those songs (like the ones I post here) that really have a shot at ending up in your iPod. Although you’ve more than likely never heard of U.K. producer Pinemarten you can expect that slight oversight to change in 2012. With the forthcoming release of If You Thought There Was Any Doubt scheduled for a November 28th release you can rest assured that his song “Don’t Let Me Be Denied” is only the beginning. Give you ears a “sound treat” and let them chew on the audio below. Peace.
Sprinkle this song liberally over your day and your bound to develop a craving for it quite soon. Thieving Irons is the creative outlet for Nate Martinez, whose no newbie to this whole music thing. Listen to “So Long” and “Pale Blue Dots” and I have a feeling you’re going to have a new band crush. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Peace.
So Long
Pale Blue Dots
You’re not dreaming. You are inside a song. It is transplanting you to a place. Inside. Into the catacombs, not Dante’s Inferno deep. But far enough to leave you curious. You poke your finger into this light and siphon breathlessly. Like me your desire is to hear more of Archer Black and their beautifully rendered song “Onward And Down” is just the beginning. Peace.
Aside from the pick me up song title, which I like a lot. This band is filled with gargantuan promise and all the potential in the world. No unnecessary fillers either. Every song on their The Hello Sessions EP is organic and vibrant like the foodstuffs you decide over at a farmers market. And like the literal farmers market, the songs of Milo Greene are just as fresh and colorful. In addition to the “Don’t You Give Up On Me” song I really adore, well … all of them. Think I’m joshing you? Go ahead and check ’em out below. Peace.
