Digging this new track from Belle & Sebastian – “The Party Line.” Can’t wait for their new album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance to come out in January and hopefully get to see them live soon too!

New Music: Jessie Ware – “Say You Love Me”

12 Aug

Just dropped today, new music from Jessie Ware. The track “Say You Love Me” will appear on her new album Tough Love which gets released October 21.

Listen to this song a few times and I think you’ll be listening to it on repeat for at least the rest of the day and probably the rest of this week. At about the 3:10 mark I can just imagine her singing this song live (you’ll understand when you listen) and now I can’t wait to see her in concert.

Now Playing: Benjamin Booker – “Violent Shiver”

5 Aug

I can’t wait until August 19, my birthday and the release of Benjamin Booker’s self titled debut release! Happy Birthday to me! If you don’t know, you need to crank up the volume and press play. This year he’s already toured with Jack White and Courtney Barnett as well as making the rounds on the festival circuit this summer and oh man I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this kid. His future is bright. Give a listen and get down with this guitar whiz.

New Music: Alt-J – “Left Hand Free”

7 Jul

I am an Alt-J fan, have been since I first heard them and will continue to be. I’m stoked to have them on the 2014 Life is Beautiful lineup and can’t wait for their performance. And even though they’ve called their new single “Left Hand Free” the “least Alt-J song ever,” I still dig it and don’t mind the departure from “their sound” and I for one think it’s going to open them up to a whole lot of new fans. Many are already saying it’s very Black Keys-esque and perhaps it is but again, I don’t mind. It’s a catchy tune, and to me it spans a several genres of music. If anything it takes it back to way before the Black Keys. Plus Joe Newman’s distinct voice is still present so how about we embrace it before rushing to judgement about the new album (it’s only one song), “This Is All Yours” which is due out on September 23.

Now Playing: Phish – “Waiting All Night”

14 May

Mark your calendars for June 24. This is the date set for Phish to release Fuego, their 12th album. Can’t wait that long? Click listen to “Waiting All Night” off the upcoming album.

Video: The Head and The Heart – “Summertime”

5 May

Yes, “Summertime” is on The Head and The Heart album Let’s Be Still which came out last year but until last week there wasn’t a video for it. Now comes a rad illustrated video produced by Chad VanGaalen that matches the flow of the song and of course, makes me excited for you guessed it, Summertime! Read more at CMJ, HERE.
