Faces - Ooh La La


This is the closing, slowmotion song from Wes Anderson's Rushmore. Fantastic film and an awesome song.

"I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger."

New Raveonettes Album: Raven in the Grave

The Raveonettes just released this record today and are on tour promoting. If you are in the DC area, they will be playing The Black Cat on April 17th. Sounds a lot like their previous stuff...which is a good thing. Their sound is awesome and they find new ways to make it fresh. Listen to the album with headphones on and relax. Thats what I am about to do.

Another Jam from TJ

I haven't really seen this video so I'm pleading ignorance if it's too out there, but the song's good to go.

who doesn't love a little Mos Def

Wye Oak and New Gambino

Donald Glover released a new track that samples or maybe reconstructs Kanye's All of the Lights (Break) and as per usual, it's pretty fantastic. Plenty of fantastic jokes. If you haven't heard i'm gonna link a couple other tracks of his that are good to go, in the order they were released.

quick note: the break link is to the mp3 download from Donald's site not a direct download or like the others a streaming jam




As for Wye Oak, they're a duo from baltimore that are really awesome. the drummer is also the bassist via a synthesizer and the front-woman's got a hell of voice. I'm posting "For Prayer" which is off of a previous album and a live performance of "Civilian" which is the title track off their latest album. The album version is a little better, but the live acoustic really does it justice.
