March 2016

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.

February 2016

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.

January 2016

Boo Boo Davis - If You Ain't Never Had the Blues

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.
