Deleted Scenes was a band but they called it quits just about a year ago and I miss them.
If you ever drank from the cups of sorrow and woe well into the night then these are the songs that’ll keep you sane. These are songs fit for raging and swinging your fists into the guilty seconds, minutes and hours. But these are also the songs that’ll becalm your white water pulse and allow you, to if not see reason, then to at least see your way through the night. I say check ’em out and get some Deleted Scenes into your life loving ears. You’ll be better off for it. Peace. Continue reading “deleted scenes | throwback thursday”

unknown mortal orchestra | multi-love
Unknown Mortal Orchestra dips a toe into the pseudo-psychotropic wading pool and the results are seismic. The track Multi-Love has all the earmarks of a full-fledged summer jam. The track is lifted from the band’s forthcoming Multi-Love album due to drop May 26th via Jagjaguwar. Peace. Continue reading “unknown mortal orchestra | multi-love”
j. viewz | into the light (ft. wild cub)
J. Viewz is (Jonathan Dagan ) and he’s likeable much like a good beer (or wine if you’re a wino, no offense mind you). And since I like a good craft beer the metaphor is an apt one. Any old ways I digress. Give the track Into The Light (ft. Wild Cub) a listen and I’m betting you’ll like it too. If not, oh well I tried. You can find this tranquil and dreamy track and others via The DNA Project. Peace.
Artist: J. Viewz
Release: The DNA Project
Featured Track: Into The Light (ft. Wild Cub)

natalie prass | my baby don’t understand me
Natalie Prass is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter who has not only matured into a strong presence on the indie music scene. But, the constancy of her ability to eviscerate a listener’s emotions to smithereens is still very much front and center. Continue reading “natalie prass | my baby don’t understand me”
conor oberst | live on KEXP
Conor Oberst has been a favorite of mine for many a moon. Heck, who could resist his various incarnations. From the days of Bright Eyes and the intimately warm and fuzzy put him on the map video First Day Of My Life, which is still after all these years one of my favorite songs hands down. Continue reading “conor oberst | live on KEXP”
alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix
The Leeds band Alt-J is pretty amazing as is, but when you put a solid track such as Hunger Of The Pine in the very inventive and capable hands of the exceptional producers of The Golden Pony sparks fly. Look at Mr. and Mr. The Golden Pony’s record, for it reads like the successive accomplishments of some very astute mixologists. Yet, to classify Timothy Monkiewicz and Thomas Murphy as simply mixers of music is not telling the whole story. Consider the following lifted from their Facebook fanpage: Continue reading “alt-j | hunger of the pine | the golden pony remix”

Well, Melbourne duo GL is so out of the shadows one may mistake them for the bright sun rising in the eastern sky. GL offers us lightning in a bottle once again with their latest track What Happened To Us. Continue reading “gl | what happened to us”
