April 2015

M+A - Bouncy

Foggy Goggles:  I don't think they understand the business-bashing hipster irony in their name, but their upbeat, loungy sound nicely complements my endless spreadsheet modelling.



Seinabo Sey - Hard Time

Meat MD:   Our girl is all over the place but def knows how to get your foot stomping.



Jamie xx - Loud Places (feat Romy)

Adrien Brody:  "Jamie and Romy go together perfectly. They should totally form a band or something."



Vetiver - Stranger Still

Tatarsky:  This is smooth, and the rest of the album kinda sounds like blog-favorite Destroyer.



Fantastic Negrito - A New Beginning

Meat MD:  Fantastic indeed.



Sturgill Simpson - NPR Tiny Desk Concert

Timmy:  The entire city of Austin is on Sturgill's jock after his ACL Taping.  I wasn't there but after streaming the Tiny Desk concert, I get it.  Dude is legit.

Feb / March 2015

Will Butler - Anna

Kyle:  It was suggested last week that the 'visualizer' was the new lyric video. This, from arcade fire's will butler, seems to merge the two on a catchy, LCD-esque new single.



Matthew E. White - Rock and Roll is Cold (live)

FreyDon:  Can't stop listening to this guy's album.  He was on Letterman the other night, classic reaction from DL.



Tei Shi - Bassically

Devo:  Repete brought this up months ago and I should have paid more attention.  Really great.



Run the Jewels - Blockbuster Night Part 1 (live)

Joe Con:  1. I've never seen La Blogotheque feature a hip hop show, and this is legit.   2. White people are akward.



Throwback
Kavinsky ft. The Weeknd - Odd Look

Meat MD:  Kavinsky is that guy who did the opening to Drive.  He's got some real talent with the synthesizer and here adds a falsetto, bringing it to 2/4 necessary things in a song.  Saturday bangarang.

January 2015

Map of Africa - Bone

Ding: Sometimes poor tech design can work in our favor. If you search for Django Django on Spotify, you'll find a compilation called "Late Night Tales - Django Django", which has some pretty cool shit on it.



Belle and Sebastian - The Party Line

Tatarsky: Just to round out the caucasians / 2010 / dick shot selfie thread, new Belle and Sebastian.



Skylar Spence - Fiona Coyne

Ding: Buried deep inside the HangOut Fest lineup is a small NY producer going by Saint Pepsi aka Skylar Spence. Dude I know from the local Chicago booking scene (posh) used to say he thought this guy was the real deal. Fans of RAC, Penguin Prison, etc will enjoy.



The Avener, Phoebe Killdeer - Fade Out Lines

Meat, MD: Got drunk, woke up, listened to a playlist and this song had appeared. Marginally NSFW alert. Ginger alert. Hipster playing chess alert.



Kingfish - Hell and High Water

Mike Tyson: Young big body buck blues guitar shreddin fool from Mississippi. Kid is 15, but a lot of human.



DANCE BONUS
Public Service Broadcasting - Gagarin
