Big Wild - 6’s to 9’s (feat. Rationale)
JoeCo: New big wild jam. Sounds like a cross between disco and an old school George Michael anthem. Hope some of you made it to the show at Concorde last night. Looked dope on insta, but everything is supposed to look dope on insta.
Pond - Sweep Me Off My Feet
Ding: Went down a Tame rabbit hold and emerged with this.
Karen O & Danger Mouse - TURN THE LIGHT
Meat MD: This is an automatic alert to tell you that Danger Mouse produced a Karen O album. No need for further action at this time.
Duskus - Where To Go
Shorty: dece chill tune.
Vök - In the Dark
Ding: What's new in the world of nordic dream pop? Our favorite Icelandic trio's latest full release. Take me baaaaack (kind of).

Winter 18-19
Atlas - The Dip
Men I Trust - Say, can you hear
Foggy Goggles: We usually take clothes off in Seattle cause they're soaked with rain.
Men I Trust - Say, can you hear
Devo: Montreal dream pop, featuring a cute blonde chick named Emma. New single today bounces along very nicely.
Elder Island - Don't Lose
Meat MD: Elder island is a killer band if you like that haunted soulful synthy sound and they just put out an album.
Holiday throwback: Luther Vandross - Never Too Much

Holiday throwback: Luther Vandross - Never Too Much
Muppet master: This songs a fuckin banger but I think they ran out of budget for the video.
Litany - Bedroom
Adrien Brody: Earworm summer 2017 British indiepop new post.
Bonus: crackhead flow
Martin: Having watched both, I prefer Hulu’s take. Netflix really downplayed the massive fraud of it all until the end - also those fuck Jerry guys are douchebags. I’m gonna hang up and listen.
Drake finna steal this crackhead flow 😂 this nigga gotta HIT on god 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/gqLJOEyqIu— BLACK SPORTSCENTER (@VersaceBoyEnt) January 24, 2019

Fall 2018
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.

Ibeyi - I Wanna Be Like You
Devo: Twin Cuban/French daughters of a guy that was in Buena Vista Social Club. Whole album is solid and this one's a cut above.
Manchester Orchestra - The Gold
Adrien Brody: Fall is here, bundle up with new-ish tracks from familiar names.
Guts - And The Living Is Easy
Meat MD: Quick banger for your Thanksgiving holiday to ignore your family to.
Son Little - The Middle
Joe Con: LCD on Tuesday. We came, we saw, we danced ourselves clean, we bought two carafes of white wine (possibly a sign concert-going in your mid-30s?), we conquered.
There was a moment toward the end of the show when James Murphy said something to the effect of, "So we're going to play a couple more songs, and then we're going to leave the stage for a minute. It's going to look like the show is over, but we're really just going to take a piss and catch our breath, so don't leave. Then we'll come back and play a few more songs."
I've always kind of hated the idea of encores because bands play them even if the crowd doesn't earn them, so they kind of lose any magic/surprise that they may have once had.
Anyway, Murphy started his career by opining that he was "losing his edge," and now he's cracking dad jokes on stage and brazenly proving that he's completely lost it. I can't figure out whether his self-awareness is to be commended or not.
Zero 7 - Don't Call It Love
Timmy: I fucking dig that we have a gray-haired, beer-bellied, dad-ish frontman making music that such a broad age range relates to and enjoys.
Also loved watching Pooh, despite trying pretty damn hard to be careful, wreck some chick’s body while returning to the dance zone, full carafe in hand.

DYAN - Looking For Knives
Mike Tyson: If you like the drive soundtrack and don't hate Lana Del ray's voice, my bet is you'll like this track.
Daniel Caesar - Get You (feat. Kali Uchis)
Schmoo: Smoke from top to bottom. Think Frank Ocean (Channel Blonde, if you will) cut with some secular gospel.
Cautious Clay - Cold War
Joey C: If you dig the recent JVM, give this a whirl.

Matt DiMona feat. Lani Renaldo - Malibuu
Mike Tyson: Could be a cool song to fuck another human to. Just tried self sex with it and it was pretty neat.
Preoccupations - Memory
Devo: I heard this song in my office today. It's a long one that goes a few different directions. But at around the 4:00 mark they do about 3 minutes of Cure-like bliss. I just keep going back to that part.
Queens of the Stone Age - The Evil Has Landed
Adrien Brody: They actually got Mark Ronson to produce some of this album.
Nite Swim - Pool Party
Foggy Goggles: Don't know much about this guy, other than two hot sexy upbeat electro rock singles with a really full sound.
tbt Bubba Sparxxx - Ugly
Mr Joshua: Love the end, where Timbaland basically admits using the same drum track on multiple hits. Doesn't give a fuuuuck.

The War on Drugs - Holding On
Hollering: Welcome to summer fellas.
Gucci Mane feat. Offset - Met Gala
Schmoo: Atlanta boomin. Migos Gucci and 2Chainz. Potent as hell. Trap distilled. Your veins will pump with all the struggle you never had.
J.I.D - NEVER
Meat MD: I have this attending who is a 55 year old Taiwanese man who has expressed his dislike of rap in the past. I'm nearing the end of my residency and have decided to take less and less shit every day. He has been providing me the most shit, of which I am, as mentioned, not interested in. So we had a surgery coming up that was going to be a beast. I always get there first and set up the room. When I came in, I apologized to the staff for what I was about to do, then put on that new Gucci Mane, on repeat, for 6 hours. By the time he realized what happened, he was scrubbed in and couldn't do anything about it. Finesse the Plug, Dr. Chen, finesse the plug.
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Fireproof
Michelangelo: Heady departure from their last few albums.
Living Colour - Cult of Personality (Arsenio 1989)
Tatarsky: GOAT late nite performance. We've talked about Sam on Letterman -- I love Sam. This wins tho.

Netherfriends - Uptown Boys
Meat MD: This dude deserves a shout. V prolific and incredible knack for song and album titles. In 2016 he made 13 full albums with titles like 808s and Harpbreak, one called Swish where every single song is just the name of a basketball player, Don't be a Fuck Boy, and my personal favorite Nocomputer with track titles like "My computer was stolen in Atlanta" "All of nocomputer was recorded live using loop pedals" and "Buy nocomputer so I can replace my stolen computer".
The Lagoons - California
Devo: Add to memorial day playlists immediately.
HAIM - Want You Back
Pooh: Retro banger.
Adrien Brody: Rob Lowe in St Elmo's Fire is such a fucking stud. That weird yellow Batman tank he rocks playing the sax would cost A$AP Rocky $2k today.
Astronaut - No Place For Lovers
Meat MD: They remind me of Big Black Delta, who I love. (ignore the video, which obviously sucks).
Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post (9/23/1970 Fillmore East)
Mobile Mike: There are a few Fillmore albums, all within a few years of each other, that fall into most top ten lists. Hendrix, Santana, Derek and the Dominoes -- and of course the Allmans. Untouchable.
Greggs brother, Duane, is still widely considered the greatest slide guitar player of all time. He used an empty pill bottle, showed the world what it sounded like with Statesboro Blues, and co wrote songs like Layla with Eric Clapton.
Tonight we drink to Gregg and the Allman Bros. RIP.

Schmoo: Been fiending since Kendrick dropped that un-takeable, seminal American blues scripture a couple weeks ago. Stumbled across Jacob Banks today.
The Palms - Push Off
h/t Mike Tyson
Gorillaz - Let Me Out
Meat MD: Best since demon days. Not everyone seems to like it, but everyone's entitled to go fuck themselves.
All The Small Things - Postmodern Jukebox ft. Puddles Pity Party
Tatarsky: Really feeling these covers, and PPP in general. Can we get this guy at a wedding please?

Electric Guest - Oh Devil
Benny: Are people discreetly jamming out to this album without telling me?
Jay Som - Baybee
Whiskey: Nice, bright guitar-synth shit -- if you enjoy Real Estate or Chairlift, this should hit the spot. Also for examples of 2017's hot new genre "offspring of Kim Jung Un jamming in a gondola", this is pretty good.

THEY. - U-RITE
Meat MD: These guys finally have a full album. It.is.gooooood. They live in that Gambino, Shabazz Palaces, Paak "we do whatever we fucking feel like but it's kind of rap or R&B" world. They popped up on a Zhu song (working for it) but have a bunch of their own stuff.
Mac DeMarco - My Old Man
Adrien Brody: Enjoyable. Nearly as much as the YouTube username and image of the individual that posted this track.
Funkadelic - Can You Get To That
Shoobs: Pat Carney did a DJ set in Nashville last night and it was great. Here's a song our friend shazam'd.
Devo: Sam is musical genius.

Mondo Cozmo - Shine
Adrien Brody: I Shazam'd this song in a bar last night. Nothing cool about that, but enjoy.
Nu - MAN O TO
Meat MD: Lol at dj khaled on line three of sunday coachella lineup. Kind of have to go see him right?
The Bright Light Social Hour - Sweet Madeline
Tatarsky: For your drive home, or that first beer of the weekend, or any other reason.
Postmodern Jukebox - Black Hole Sun feat. Haley Reinhart
Mike Tyson: Turns out even yer mom likes Soundgarden.
St. Albion - Ghosting feat. Max Frost
Devo: Panorama feels like a shallow attempt of collecting FB data of every 25-40 year old making six figures in NYC. I mean, it worked. But still.

Holy Wave - She Put A Seed In My Ear
Devo: This year-end list is the most unique and consistent with my musical taste that I've found. And she speaks so passionately about the albums that you can't help but want to like them: The Seeds In My Ears
EL VY - Are These My Jets?
Timbo: I shared bad wine and Conor Oberst's set with some 45ish-but-childish Kiwi bros at ACL this year. They all went by code names, which ruled -- Hallelujah, School Zone and ...fuck, I forget the last one. Anyway, one of them still texts me random music links and he sent this a few days back.
D.R.A.M. - Cash Machine
Meat MD: Poor guy got scooped on Cha Cha by fucking Drake of all people, but he's still chugging away making awesome shit.
Nick Colletti - Suh My Fuh Dih Bih
Tatarsky: Suh my fuh dih bih.
George Michael - I Will Be Your Father Figure
Mike Tyson: Show me a better five o'clock shadow and I'll show you a liar.

Fall 2016
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...
