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.

Pixies


If you can ignore or are okay with the fact that this song is about large black penis this song's awesome.

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.

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.
