Campo by Toro Y Moi

New Year's Eve jammin' with Toro Y Moi.

I'll pick it up...

Started From The Bottom by Drake

I'm not a huge Drake fan but I do love this track. It's been stuck in my head for days! I just avoid singing it aloud in public since the lyrics aren't exactly appropriate :-/

Started from the bottom...now we're here.

Let Go by RAC featuring Kele & MNDR

RAC's 2nd ever original track (since they primarily remix other artists' songs) features vocals by Kele (of Bloc Party) & MNDR & has been on constant repeat in my boring office today.

Thanks for introducing me, Lindsey Fisher! Your holiday rockstar mix CDs are the BEST!

I'm Aquarius by Metronomy (NEW!!!)

I can't wait for Metronomy's new album Love Letters to be released on 3/10/14! I've only seen Metronomy 1 time before (at El Rey Theatre in June 2012) so I'm hopeful a new album means another tour because they were/are phenomenal live! Their chest lights were my fave :)

Shades by Yellow Ostrich (NEW!)

I'm super pumped for new material from Yellow Ostrich! I hope I can make their 3/18/14 show in LA!

Stay Alive by Jose Gonzalez (from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty)

This new Jose Gonzalez track from The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty soundtrack just got me EXTRA excited to see the film as soon as it's released on Christmas Day. From what I've heard, Gonzalez provided quite a few new songs for the movie which is awesome because I've been a big fan of both him & his band Junip for years. His voice is BEAUTIFUL.

Reverend Tall Tree Album Release Party @ Sassafras Saloon in Hollywood Last Night 12/12/13

Last night, I visited Sassafras Saloon in Hollywood (on Vine just south of Fountain) for my 1st time & saw my 1st Reverend Tall Tree show. The venue was super cool (it doesn't hurt that they sell $5 well whiskey!) & the band was fantastic! I forgot how much I love the harmonica!

Reverend Tall Tree plays Sassafras on a regular basis so I'll definitely be back & I recommend you do the same!

The Mall & Misery by Broken Bells

Because I'm getting so excited for the new Broken Bells album, I can't stop listening to the debut album. The entire record is brilliant. This is 1 of my favorite tracks...

Fall In Love by Phantogram (NEW!!!)

Phantogram's 2nd full-length album doesn't come out until February 18th 2014 but, luckily, they just today released the 1st single!

Biggy by Warpaint

Only 1 more month until Warpaint's new album is released! In the meantime, they were kind of enough to release the 2nd single :)

Instant Crush by Daft Punk Featuring Julian Casablancas (OFFICIAL VIDEO!)

Daft Punk's brand new video for the track Instant Crush (featuring Julian Casablancas) tells the tragic tale story of 2 mannequins in love. I guess some people might be into the sort of thing? It's a bit creepy if you ask me but that's because I hate dolls & mannequins are basically just giant dolls. I'm happy they melted...lol.

Don't Wait by Mapei

I was turned onto this track yesterday by 1 of my Canadian, Sasquatch-going friends & now I can't get enough of Rhode Island-born, Stockholm-based singer Mapei!

Mondo Taurobolium by Devendra Banhart Featuring Rose McGowan (OFFICIAL VIDEO!)

The brand-new, trippy, official, animated, Galen Pehrson-directed video for Devendra Banhart's track Mondo Taurobolium features Devendra & Rose McGowan as pair of drugged-out ducks.

Pilgrim by MØ

I just discovered this rad track from 2012 by Danish singer/songwriter Karen Marie Ørsted aka MØ & now I can't stop listening to it!
