Caroline Rose - More of the Same
Adrien Brody: Sounds like tennis and that’s why I keep listening to it I guess.
79.5 - Predictions
Devo: Full length album last week is every bit as good as I hoped. New York based melodic soul with some other genres mixed in. Really good stuff.
Houses - Fast Talk
Michelangelo: Digging it. White town meets the eels meets sneaker pimps.
Silk City - Electricity
Adrien Brody: Silk City is Diplo and Mark Ronson. They call it "elegant house." See you on the dance floor.

Summer 2018
Arctic Monkeys - Four Out Of Five
Adrien Brody: Critics seem to be panning this album in the few reviews I’ve read, and that’s a shame. Alex Turner doing his best Bowie impressions.
Lizzo - Phone
Tatarsky: Bish brings fire. I didn’t know.
Craig Finn - God In Chicago
Meat MD: I hate story songs but can’t get enough of this.
ASAP Rocky - Praise the Lord (Da Shine)
Mister Joshua: If you like fire South American pan flute and a hot beat, this shit is for you.
MorMor - Heaven's Only Wishful
Whiskey: I've been meaning to rec this MorMor fella for a while, but thought his name sounded like it could be a slur and did not want to offend. He's a 26 year-old singer and producer from Toronto. Its hipster R&B-type shit with really great hooks. Sorry if I offend.
Foxing - Nearer My God
Ding: Finally. Front-to-back quality from St. Louis' Foxing on their new album, Nearer my God. And yes, A-Step, it's Emo. Seriously give the whole thing a spin.

Kai Straw - Friction
Meat MD: It's been a bit, but I'm finally getting around to my recap of coachella...
...Fashion: Last year, bras were out, mesh shirts and pasties were in. This year, pasties out, everything else stayed the same. I saw a girl who, the most significant thing covering her was a nipple ring. I know, I know, pics. But 1) I have no idea how old these girls are, but it's not "very". It makes me uncomfortable to take a pic (although not to look). 2) I barely remember I have a phone let alone a camera on said phone and operating it seems like a near impossible task (it lights up, it buzzes, Cardi B is coming on, why am I standing in this line? was I really going to get pizza? am I alone? ...or have I always been alone?)...
...My overall pick: THEY. Fucking hell those dudes are talented. If they aren't huge in 2 years, they have a shitty manager.
CAPYAC ft MOONZz — Afterhours
Devo: It's been a bit, but I'm finally getting around to my recap of my kid's 3rd bday this weekend.
Things got going super promptly at 11 AM because that's how we party out here. The kids were out wearing cars on their shirts, some princesses, lots of em had sunscreen on, you'd catch a little girl crying for no apparent reason (maybe drugs? maybe cupcakes?). No pics, 1) I have no idea how old these girls are, though mostly probably preschool; 2) I barely remember having a phone because I have to eat pot to be able to deal with this.
My overall pick: Moana. Kills it every time. Lin-Manuel just can't miss. "How Far I'll Go" turns into a crazy dance party.
Mansionair - Astronaut
Adrien Brody: The chorus (loose term) came through and it made me miss daft punk.
BROCKHAMPTON - BLEACH
Meat MD: They call themselves a boyband. They are not. They are boys, and it is technically a band, but its a hard band of boys.
Cautious Clay - Blood Type
Foggy Goggles: This guy keeps dropping dope shit. The whole Blood Type album is great. It's layered. soulful, upbeat stuff.
Big Thief - Shark Smile
Meat MD: That folky americana shit. Whatever americana means.

.Paak 2 Basics Episode 1: Layin' it .Paak
Tatarsky: Got targeted with this drumstick promo campaign featuring our boy. I knew I was a Paak fan, and I knew I believed in smart ad tech, but gahdamn I’m grateful for both.
Dawes - All Your Favorite Bands
The Prig: This Dawes guy has a bunch of tracks that are easy to enjoy but hard to really care about. This track, however, has heart and I feel like I can care about it.
Mura Masa - I'll Be Alright
Joe Con: Go ahead and add this to your babymakin mix. Has there ever been a bigger leap in character cool factor than Glover's leap from love interest in Girls to Lando Calrissian?
Rhye - Taste
Devo: Just in time for V day.
Prince - 2007 SB Halftime Show
Adrien Brody: Prince's 2007 SB halftime show = best halftime show? NFL Films thinks so. (Sidenote: fuck you, Rex Grossman.)
K-pop: Heard they're trotting out a Prince hologram this year, which sounds exactly like what he would have wanted: "That's the most demonic thing imaginable. Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing... it really is demonic. And I am not a demon," he said. "Also, what they did with that Beatles song ["Free As a Bird"], manipulating John Lennon's voice to have him singing from across the grave... that'll never happen to me. To prevent that kind of thing from happening is another reason why I want artistic control."

The Shacks - Follow Me
Rory: Pryor’s widow agrees with Q on the Brando claim with this beautiful quote -- It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.
Son Lux - Dream State
Meat MD: Like if Edward Sharpe & MZs were having a nervous breakdown.
TOMMY CASH - PUSSY MONEY WEED
Hollering: Straight from Estonia. I don't dislike this as much as I should and the 2:00 mark is noteworthy.
Malaa - Notorious
Meat MD: If you're ever in Philly, do yourself a favor, go to Silk City, be 7 years younger, and tear that place up. DJ DeeJay used to take requests and if I even walked towards his table, he'd just go "I got you", because I requested poison and just a friend every single time.

Jain - Makeba
Tatarsky: Not sure how I didn't hear this till today but listened a dozen times since this morning. Love a tasty world jam.
Pooh: South African Lorde.
Martin: She's French you oaf.
Pooh: French Lorde.
Lorde - Green Light (Chromeo Remix)
Tatarsky: Office holiday party this weekend -- what bangers am I missing to whip the tech millennials into a frenzy? Hoping for a few #metoo stories on Monday
Julien Baker - Appointments
Meat MD: Yo we doing this or nah? Top 5 songs, albums, artists. This is my favorite time of year and if we don't do this, I will FUCKING CRY
Devo: If you do cry, can I recommend Julien Baker's "Appointments" for the soundtrack?
Night Drive - Rise and Fall (Classixx Remix)
JEFF: Top five - The National, QOTSA, RTJ, Dead Europe ‘72, GZA - Liquid Swords. Decent year for tunes.
Michelangelo: Albums... Beck, LCD, Portugal the Man, Father John, Kamasi Washington.
Joey Con: "Very nice, Rob. A sly declaration of new classic status slipped into a list of old safe ones. Very PUSSY! Couldn’t you be more obvious than that, Rob? How about uh, I don’t know, The Beatles? How about fucking, fucking Beethoven? Track 1 Side 1 of the Fifth Symphony!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GIGcWLwSDQ
Foggy Goggles: Strong year for sure. Listen to this track, now.
Hovey Benjamin - Send Bobs
Adrien Brody: Millenial weird Al comes fucking correct.
