Flume & Chet Faker - Drop the Game
YAMS: Both these guys are fantastic and this collab does not disappoint.
Darkside - Paper Trails
Whiskey: This song creeped me out in the good way. Darkside is Nicholas Jaar and some other guy. The full album is worth diving in.
Caveman - In the City
Hollering: The lead singer's voice is Sting-ish?
Mapei - Don't Wait
Devo: It's hard to not like this one immediately.
John Grant - GMF
AdrienBrody: Rough Trade Records in London released their top 10 albums of 2013 list this week. John Grant's Pale Green Ghosts was number one.
Amason - Went to War
FreyDon: Catchy as fuck.

Majical Cloudz - Childhood's End
Whiskey: This song makes me feel like I'm driving through the rainy streets of Seattle on my way to get my girlfriend an abortion. IN A GOOD WAY.
Sam Smith - Nirvana
Adrien Brody: Blue-eyed soul for you and your loved one.
Panama - Always
Devo: These bands just pick tropical places or relaxing experiences for names and I like them before I hear the music.
London Grammar - Nightcall
Carl: Her voice is the truth.
Movement - Us
Hollering: Three observations. I highly recommend this track if you are a fan of SBTRKT. The Aussies are really pawning music holes these days. Is that wonkey-eyed Karl from Workaholics at the 1:50 mark?

Portugal. The Man - Purple Yellow Red & Blue (Passion Pit Remix)
Bunker: If this doesn't make your foot tap, you probably haven't had sex in the last 12 months. I've been there.
Phantogram - Celebrating Nothing
Devo: They are really good.
Great Good Fine Ok - You're The One For Me
Adrien Brody: One listen and it feels like this band captures what Passion Pit was always reaching for and missing. In other words, a tolerable lead vocalist.
Jagwar Ma - Come Save Me (Flight Facilities Graceland Remix)
DJ YAMZ: Had to find out what made this a "Graceland Remix". Wait for a minute and a half and all will become clear.
Augustines - Cruel City
Devo: They dropped the "We Are" which is good because that was hard to say.

Sting and Robert Downey Jr. - Driven to Tears
Shorty: So, Downey Jr. can also sing.
Bon Iver - Babys (Urban Contact's Summer Soul Remix)

Duke Dumont - Need U (100%)
Meat, M.D.: Good song, amazing video.
Joywave - Tongues (ft. Kopps) (RAC Mix)
Adrien Brody: I think I listened to this track 50+ times this weekend.
The James Hunter Six - One Way Love
TheMonkeysEyebrows: Here's a catchy one that sounds like it could be off the Animal House soundtrack.
Lil B - Pretty Boy (Soul Train Edit)
Prig: Lil B probably didn't curate this video himself, but damn it's perfect.

Is Tropical - Dancing Anymore
Ding: NSFW. NSFW. These French bastards have a new album coming out and the video for "Dancing Anymore" is pretty wild. In a way I can't explain, it's very us.

EDM
Bros, this looks sick:
I know I have trashed electronic music in the past, but this looks so awesome. So many 90s babies are gonna be there. It is definitely, as the song says, "what it feels like to be alive." This is like that Electric Carnival you guys talk about, only better cuz it is like the "next step" in the music's progression. EDM will never die.

When The Prig talks, people listen
A huge hat tip to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs - even though you haven't written a good song since 2006, you're at least keeping it real. Hope the masses continue to purchase your irrelevant music, and that we can all do our part to stop the idiots stop taping. Maybe they will actually start listening.

A$AP Rocky - Phoenix (Prod By Danger Mouse)
Meat, MD: Danger Mouse's motto should be, not only do you like my work, you like the people I work with.
Gaoler's Daughter - When We Were Young
Hollering: Real easy listen here.
Palma Violets - Last of the Summer Wine
Devo: Prig review, "These twits are like a homeless man's Velvet Underground."
Action Bronson - Morey Boogie Boards
Adrien Brody: Upon repeated listens, this beat is infectious.
Haim - Forever
Kowieski: It sounds like music that would be on the soundtrack to a 2013 Goonies remake starring Jonah Hill as Chunk.

February 2013
A few tracks we enjoyed in February 2013.
Jagwar Ma - The Throw
CARL: Really digging the ambient 90s vibe in the second half here.
Bahamas - Lost in the Light
Ding: Cleared out a tiny, totally hetero space in the catalog next to Lamontagne for the likes of this guy.
Autre Ne Veut - Play by Play
Corrigan: This song works ... trust me.
Ducktails - Letter of Intent
Kowieski: Most of these tracks have a Real Estate-meets-Destroyer vibe, which makes sense since the band was started by one of the dudes in Real Estate. This track has a more chilled-out electropop vibe with some nice female vocals, really soothes the soul.
Roadkill Ghost Choir - Beggar's Guild
Hollering: Think late night lake/float trip anger when you and the other solo brajs are passing a bottle of cheap whiskey and reassuring each other how much you don't give a shit. And then somebody throws a gross of bottle rockets into the fire.

A few tracks we enjoyed in January 2013.
Chairlift - Wrong Opinion
Kowieski: stumbled across this thanks to all the year-end lists. Sounds like Fleetwood Mac on the Drive soundtrack. I don't know what you call that jangly sound that comes in on the hook but I have not been able to get it out of my head this week.
Blackbird Blackbird - New Leaf
MeatMD: Dream pop shoe gaze, folktronica, molly music, whatever, makes me bob my head a little.
The Royal Concept - World on Fire
Corrigan: To the guy who introduced me to The Royal Concept.. thank you.. infectious stuff... sucks they're handsome as shit and have amazing fashion sense.
ON AN ON - The Hunter
Tatarsky: Nice big sound on this one, and sort of how I imagine Ohio house parties in the 90s.
Sam and the Womp - Bom Bom
TheMonkeysEyebrows: This Sam and the Womp jam was number one in the UK this summer. It makes me want to do blow see how high I can roundhouse.
