Love me some Mal Blum


Mal Blum makes me want to curl up in a blanket and pretend that I live for indie folk music like the rest of the world right now (reference to all Mumford & Sons fans). Here's to belting out San Cristobal lyrics in my apartment alone for the rest of the afternoon. Cheers

Tally Hall

A song by Tally Hall that I had never heard. If you don't know these guys, they're a pretty legitimate band from Michigan. The first album of theirs, Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (link below), was a hit, really good stuff. They got some following after a few of their songs were featured in The O.C. Their new album comes out on June 21st and I'm definitely looking forward to it. So check these guys out. They also like to make little videos and have an internet show that you can find on their website.

Joe Purdy

I don't know why I'd admit to this, but the first time I ever heard this song was on Grey's Anatomy. Whoops. Anyways, it's a good song. Ch-ch-ch-check it out!

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.




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.

gypsy band

So I saw the movie Wristcutters: A Love Story which is an interesting film by Goran Dukic and is a dark romance/fantasy/comedy? Anyways the movie was pretty enjoyable and one of the supporting characters was fantastic and happened to be based off of the lead singer in the band Gogol Bordello which is a crazy cool gypsy band. here's a link to two videos on youtube of songs from them I dig.
