February wrap-up

A look back at a few of the tracks we enjoyed this month:

BIG K.R.I.T. - Boobie Miles

FreyDon:  I would have posted this no matter how I felt about the song because of the title, but it's actually pretty dope.



Gary Clarke Jr. - Don't Owe You a Thang

Adrien Brody:  God damn is GCJ incredible.



Jacques Greene ft Ango - Untitled

Tatarsky:  Fans of the Weeknd -- holler at your boy Jacques Greene.  Here's some fun trivia, he's the geeky guy in Azealia's 212 video.



Lambchop - Gone Tomorrow

Devo:  This is a beautifully amazing song.  Now I realize why I am seeing this name everywhere.



Tennis - Petition

Adrien Brody:  new Tennis album drops February 14, just in time for the honey boo boo child in your life.  Close your eyes and this is an almost straight Feist rip, but enjoyable when played multiple times in a row.

Happy valentine's day

So the Grammys happened this weekend.  One notable winner was Bon Iver, who took the prize for Best New Artist just 4 short years after their critically acclaimed debut.*  But who does Justin Vernon think should have won the award?  Polica, an emerging indie band from Minneapolis.  In his words, "They're the best band I've ever heard."  Strong praise.
  

First album came out in December and they're touring now -- check em out.

* Other previous winners include Amy Winehouse in 2008 (five years after her '03 debut), Lauryn Hill in 1999 (three years after the Fugees won a Grammy for the Score....), and Milli Vanilli.

TOURIST

I'll shuffle through track after mediocre track for a slow jam like this.  Currently starting to trend on all the indie rock blogs, including the estimable PFOS, Brighton producer/DJ Will Phillips, f.k.a. Little Loud, is now working under the moniker Tourist.  The Tourist E.P. is set to be released on March 12, 2012.

"Placid Acid" is below and if you click on the link you will not be disappointed.

Earl Sweatshirt is back.

After nearly two years in exile (apparently spending time at a New Zealand correctional facility and/or banished to Samoa on Mom's orders), Earl Sweatshirt is back:
