DoYouHearTheMusic.com 2013 @SFOutsideLands Playlist

4 Aug

Figured since I am heading up to Outside Lands in a handful of days, why not put together a little playlist leading up to the festival.  A great lineup awaits and I only have two words, PAUL MCCARTNEY!   I cannot wait to see Sir Paul perform live, this is truly going to be a moment in time where everything else is going on pause for me.

Heading up to Outside Lands as well?  Here are a handful of acts I suggest you make your way to see:

  • twenty one pilots – look up their story when you have time but for now, click HERE
  • Phoenix – check out their production on their current dates
  • Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires of the City should be up for album of the year
  • Jurassic 5 – if you never had the chance to see them back in the day, do yourself a favor now
  • D’Angelo – everyone should see him perform at least once
  • Zedd – fastest rising DJ in the world right now
  • The Head And The Heart- to this day one of my favorite shows I’ve seen at a festival
  • DAWES – their live show puts their albums to shame
  • Gary Clark Jr. – take the time to see this man
  • Wild Belle – Natalie Bergman’s voice will have you at the first note
  • Foals – see what everyone is talking about
  • King Tuff – stoked for this set
  • Rhye – talk about a rise to stardom, this should be a stellar performance
  • Deap Vally – you want to see two chicks rock, here’s your chance
  • Milo Greene -super talented quintet
  • The Growlers – hooked on these guys thanks to a friend’s suggestion
  • MS MR – fun show
  • The Wild Feathers and The Easy Leaves – good way to start your Sunday at OSL

Now Playing: Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers – “Hey Stranger”

30 Jul

The self titled album from Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers drops August 27 but lucky for you, you don’t have to wait to hear “Hey Stranger,” the second single off the upcoming album. This track along with the first single, “A Little Too Late” are bound to be on repeat for you for the rest of the summer.  And if you don’t live in the desert like me where it’s hotter than hot, you’ll probably be jamming this in your car with the windows down.

Welcome to the summer of Kings!

Now Playing: Joey Bada$$ – Summer Knights #Mixtape #MusicMonday

15 Jul

Recently I was asked what am I listening to and I actually couldn’t give a direct answer since I’ve been all over the place with my music selections these days. The easiest thing to say was my July Playlist because those bands I’m totally digging right now but actually for the last week I’ve been hooked on the the new Joey Bada$$ mixtape, Summer Knights. Definitely something you’re going to want to download and you can do so by clicking THIS link.  My favorite track thus far, “My Yout” ft. Collie Buddz.

 

Now Playing CHVRCHES – “Falling” (HAIM Cover) – WOW WOW WOW

9 Jul

First song you should listen to this morning is this ridiculous cover of HAIM’s “Falling” by Chvrches. If you’re a fan of Chvrches you know how soft and sweet Lauren Mayberry’s vocals are which stand out in this track with the band’s electro beats, making this an instant hit. Now perhaps HAIM want to give their try at “Recover” in the near future?!

 

New Music: Thelma Plum – “Around Here”

3 Jul

It’s a good day for new music so why not share my latest obsession, Thelma Plum.  Personally I think you’re going to fall in love with her sweet and soulful sound, just like I did.  The 18 year old is the latest gem to blossom out of Australia and I suggest you give a listen to her EP, Rosie, immediately but in the mean time, give a listen below to “Around Here.”
