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.

 

Chipotle + Music = Nourishment For Your Belly and Brain – Meet the guy behind the music while you eat

12 Jul

I love Chipotle and have always dug their music when I step foot into a store. Since they are celebrating two decades of burrito goodness, Westword in Denver ran a series of articles on the mad successful franchise including THIS ONE on Christopher Golub, the man behind the soundtrack you enjoy each and every time you eat at a Chipotle.

Now Playing: @PassionPit remix of @PortugalTheMan “Purple Yellow Red & Blue”

10 Jul

Love this. Two of my Life is Beautiful performers on one track! Check out this Portugal. The Man “Purple Yellow Red & Blue” remix by Passion Pit. The original track is awesome by itself (PTM performed it live on Conan last night) but this electrofied version in contagious. Listen and repeat! Cannot wait until October!

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?!
