New Music Tuesday – Holiday Edition

13 Dec

Well this is more of an uneventful New Music Tuesday (The soundtrack to We Bought A Zoo by Jonsi and Keller Williams’ Bass are the two standouts) but if you are looking for something to relatively new to swoop up for the holidays and stocking stuffers, here are some recent albums you may want to consider:

Since it’s the holidays, Michael Buble – Christmas which came out earlier this fall, is of course #1 on the Billboard 200

The Roots last week released undun

The Black Keys dropped the smashing El Camino

Amy Winehouse disc Lioness: Hidden Treasures

Also The Rolling Stones reissue of Some Girls and Adele Live at Royal Albert Hall are two winners

And next week, Common releases the highly anticipated The Dreamer, The Believer

New Music: IAMDYNAMITE

5 Dec

While I love to share new music with my friends, I like it even more when a friend introduces me to a new band/artist and man was I lucky this time around.  For the last month I have been infatuated with IAMDYNAMITE, an explosive rock outfit consisting of guitarist Christopher Martin and drummer Chris Phillips.  It is Detroit Rock City with these two Michiganders and their debut album, SUPERMEGAFANTASTIC, is something you need to get on top of yesterday.

DJ Roger Gangi – Holiday House (Download)

3 Dec


If you’ve been to STK over at The Cosmopolitan for dinner or drinks, chances are more than likely you’ve been listening to the beats of my buddy, DJ Roger Gangi. I always love when Roger puts together a new mix, and he doesn’t disappoint with his Holiday House 2011 made especially for the season and all the good peeps that work at the Vegas hot spot.

New Music: The Black Keys – El Camino

2 Dec

I cannot wait until next Tuesday when The Black Keys drop their seventh studio album, El Camino.  While the first two tracks that surfaced on the internet, “Lonely Boy” and “Run Right Back” are killer, they don’t do the album nearly enough justice (do some searches and you can find all the tracks to stream).  Holy amazing this is a rocking disc.  In my head I hear TBK original sound but also channeling rock legends like the Stones, Peter Frampton and Led Zeppelin.  Just listen to “Little Black Submarines” below and prepare to be blown away (*hint: 2:07 mark it gets loud!). If there is a way to close out 2011 with a bang, this is it as El Camino comes cruising into the spotlight.

Easily my favorite EDM track of the year, “Levels” or “Le7els” whichever way you want to spell it, finally has an official music video.
