i have a Mouthful of Diamonds

Nothin' says busy like anxiety. That's what pills were made for right? RIGHT! Work keeps pilin' up but I can't forget my chirrren. So here's an album I know you'll fall for. Eyelid Movies by Phantogram is delicious and sexy. I can't really choose a specific track to say download now because it's all good! Phantogram will be performing at this years Outside Lands, if you're lucky enough to have a ticket FUCK YOU. JK, kisses. Check it.

Foster the People, people!

So I'm kinda feeling better. Work is kickin' my ass hard!!! So a short post this morning. Check out Foster the People's new album Torches. I'm sure you'll recognize 'Pumped up Kicks' it's had some serious play on the radio and has over 3.5 million views on youtube! Truly the entire album is a good time. They're another band that's hittin' up Outside Lands. Sell a kidney if you want tickets! You'll live; you have two you know? Check it.



Not the official video but I dig it!

The Black Keys to my heart.

Been enjoying The Black Keys album Brothers lately. It's bluesy-rockin'-funk that you can get yo groove on to. They're here for Outside Lands, which last time I checked was sold out. BOOO! Don't let that stop you from jammin' to Brothers though. 'Next Girl', 'Tighten Up', 'Too Afraid to Love You'...fuck it the entire album rocks. Check it.

Civilian casualties

I love stumbling upon new music, esp. new music that's truly good. Wye Oak's new album, Civilian, is amazing in it's grandeur and depth. Sometimes rock-a-billy [Civilian] other times punk rock [Holy, Holy] with some quiet moments [Plains] that really spotlight Jenn Wasner's husky voice. The entire album is just about a million genres in one, check it. Wye Oak is part of a phenomenal Outside Lands line-up this year. Some tickets are still around so better get them while you can.

I sleep with a Night Light

Little Dragon's new CD, Ritual Union is set to be released in July and I'm shivering with anticpation to hear it all. The first single from the album, Night Light was released in early April and man does it sound gooood. You can tell from the track that they are continuing their journey into a more experimental sound. Whereas thier first album had a strong vocal R&B-Funk sound, Machine Dreams and Ritual Union are electronic beat and killer vocals driven. Yakimi Nagano's vocals are really what make Little Dragon. Her voice is so unique you'd recognize it no matter what kinda music accompanies it. (check out today's first post for proof). Little Dragon will be performing at UCLA Jazz/Reggae Festival later this month and in August will be joining an insane line-up @ Outside Lands in San Francisco. I got two new songs below so check it.
