Tinariwen - Toumast Tincha
Meat MD: I have this list on my phone that is saved for things I write down while drunk, often music recs told to me while drunk. Props to someone.
Until The Ribbon Breaks - A Taste Of Silver
Ding: Very pleased with my halloween band assignment and promotion from Feldman fluffer.
Wishes - I Want To Be Alone With You
Pooh: Fun fact - "While Ninja did not necessarily get along with everybody on the Chappie set, Blomkamp had, at one point, wanted him to star in another one of his films, Elysium. Matt Damon ended up taking the lead role."
Old Icelandic hymn sung in a German train station
Rory: Old Icelandic hymn sung in a German train station.
Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Part II
Michelangelo: Just in case any of you health conscious bros end up in the hooscal, My Infamous Prison Cookbook by Albert Prodigy Johnson will be published this month.

Ra Ra Riot - Water
Devo: Rostam is starting to make some more music outside of VW. He made this song with Ra Ra Riot and he's got a project with the lead singer of the Walkmen, though all it does is remind me that I don't like the lead singer of the Walkmen.
Michael Kiwanuka - Black Man In A White World
Meat MD: New album by michael kinawuka is legit (produced by my dude danger mouse). Wait - kiwanuka not kinawuka. proving his point he's a black man in a white world.
Whitney - No Woman
Adrien Brody: It's jarring to look at Steve Earle in the video for Copperhead Road and then think about him as Walon in The Wire.
Quinn XCII - Another Day In Paradise
Ding: Quick shout for a couple home-town kids Quinn XCII (yes, that's the year he was born). I will hate this song when it gets played on the radio, but enjoy for now and play for your GF. Hey, if it can happen to Posner...

Bob Moses - All I Want
Tatarsky: Bob Moses is my Moses. Listen tonight and remember the ape.
Vaz - Sunshine
Hollering: Play this tribal summer jam at a hipster cookout and your odds of receiving a Lindsay Vonn inspired massage will skyrocket.
ShaqIsDope - DWNTWN
Meat MD: Toronto fire. Unrelated - an overpriced shitty juice place in my neighborhood lost an energy crystal. They complained about it on social media. FJM stole it. FJM didn't like their social media tone. FJM went on instagram to both admit to stealing the crystal and then let everyone know, through instagram, that he wasn't so into capitalism.
Roy Woods - How I Feel
Shmoo: Check this kid Roy Woods. Zombie MJ, not Thriller Mike but Mike back from the dead still on tranqs.
Koi Child - Black Panda
Ding: Hailing from that urban music capital of the world, Perth, Australia, introducing the 6 piece live hip-hop experiment known as Koi Child. Think Hieroglyphics, Hieruspecs, early Roots.

Car Seat Headrest - Fill In The Blank
Adrien Brody: From NPR top 30 albums of 2016 thus far. Stay away from the comments section at the bottom of that list, but listen to this kid's entire album. Great music.
DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak feat. Run The Jewels
Tatarsky: Saturday night scorcher.
Otherwhile - Haunt You
Whiskey: The hot cellist that defected from Ra Ra Riot started her own band. I dig this track, her voice has that Stevie Nicks growl and its deployed over some solid B electropop.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities
Timmy: Dece track. Super fuckable video.
Blood Orange - Augustine
Bronsen: 83 with some sun today in NYC, how much action is crush cam gonna get?

DJ Shadow - Nobody Speak feat. Run The Jewels
Tatarsky: Been coming back to this one a lot lately whenever I want a little swagger in the step.
Carla Morrison - Un Beso
Meat MD: If you're into weak adele-alikes, which i am, you'll like. Only problem is she needs to learn some english. I mean, come on. Make america great again!
James Blake - I Need A Forest Fire (ft. Bon Iver)
Ding: Nice track from the Oompa Loompas working the Discover Weekly production line.
Badly Drawn Boy - Once Around the Block
Adrien Brody: Bringing back so many feels. Reminds me of when I was an insecure college freshman in Ohio, working college radio and living and dying on every conversation with my crush of the month.

Prince - Electric Chair (SNL 1989)
Chuck Klosterman: "This was when the idea of emailing someone to do an interview was just starting to be possible. So my coworker Rob emailed Prince ten questions. And he answered all of them. And a lot of the questions, he would just answer with what would now be called emojis. Like we'd ask him a question, and he'd just send back a picture of a human eye. Or he would send back a pyramid or whatever. Except the one question he totally answered - and this was around the time they were talking about contracting the Twins and the Nationals - for some reason Rob asked him a question about that, and he gave a very cogent, full answer to that question."
Kevin Morby - I Have Been To The Mountain
Devo: This is the type of track this blog was built upon.
Baywaves - Time Is Passing U By
Whiskey: If you've worn out Tame Impala's Currents and want more, check these guys out. Heard them on Spotify's new Fresh Finds playlist, which I highly recommend. Are they crawling PFOS?!
Bibi Bourelly - Sally
Benny: I've been dancing around my room in my undies listening to Sally on repeat. And going back and forth between listening to Ego and writing in my journal crying.
Hamburger Helper - Watch the Stove
Meat MD: In the pantheon of themed mixtapes, it's no meow the jewels, but it's still got some flaaaame to it.

The National - Morning Dew
Jeffrey: Courtney Barnett's strung out, deadpan thing (which I typically dig) is probably not the best match for Speedway Boogie, which requires a certain gusto.
Kendrick Lamar - Untitled 03
Shmoo: It's a jam session jazz album. The type of stuff that'll get spins in River North and Logan Square. This dude is playing a different game.
Sturgill Simpson - In Bloom
Pooh Bear: I listened to this yesterday and fucking hated it but now I think I love it? So confused!
WOODS - Moving To The Left
Ding: Mad deep in the Woods right now and I can't find my way out. Hitting the back catalog hard.
Car Seat Headrest - Vincent
Jo Jo: The idea that we get hooked on bad songs because they're played on repeat doesn't seem novel to me. I also like smoking cigarettes even though they're bad for me. It's ironic that Billy Corgan is interviewed in this piece because "1979" is a flaming pile of shit that became popular because it was played on alternative radio 24/7 until we all just kind of gave up and agreed it was a hit.

White Denim - Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)
Ding: Me: Hey doll, how about some hot white D?
Her: Gross. Also, I'm imaginary.
Me: Right.
Seinabo Sey - Pretend
Meat MD: Sometimes she sounds like the sad song in a mediocre musical, but most of the time she's pretty great.
Mass Gothic - Every Night You've Got To Save Me
Muppeteer: Please don't let the name scare you, this Mass Gothic shit is the opposite of what the name sounds like. The singer in video does look like he's had a rough go of things though.
JATA - Ebony
Hollering: Proven to help fight seasonal affective disorder.
Brian Eno & David Byrne - Strange Overtones
Muppeteer: Fell down a Bowie hole this week and wound up in Talking Heads territory.

Tatarsky: The right soundtrack for every whiskey nightcap ever.
Mike Tyson: Boo boo ftw. Hot poop fire sauce poop daddy Kane.
Flume feat. Vince Staples & Kucka - Smoke & Retribution
Adrian Brody: I like listening to it at work when coworkers aren't walking by.
Yeasayer - I Am Chemistry
Ding: I was thinking today about how much I hate FLO Rida. And just as much as I hate FLO Rida, I love these guys.
Mayer Hawthorne - Cosmic Love
Ding: Sunday PM baby-maker.
Glen Hansard - Ashes to Ashes
Michelangelo: Really feeling this guy's version of Ashes to Ashes.
Devo: "This guy" - come on man, show him a little more respect he's got an Oscar.
Michelangelo: *Really feeling this guy who got an Oscar's version of Ashes to Ashes.

Kaleo - Way Down We Go
Mike Tyson: Never heard of them until recently when my old man shot me some links (in bold... size 32 font...pfff typical dad email!). Anyway, they have a very cool sound.
Freddie Gibbs - Careless
Ding: Just in case your favorite George Michael sample is still Faith.
Miike Snow - Genghis Khan
FreyDon: Speaking of Miiiiiiiiike. New track dropped just in time for the freaking weekend.
