The Muslims: “Only My Time” MP3
April 1, 2008 – 10:36 am
Last week GvB posted about yet another amazing band, The Muslims from San Diego. The Modern Lovers comparison is right on (especially for the track posted below), but they have their own distinct sound outside of that. I love this track and I really want to set up a show with these guys and The [...]
Izza Kizza: “Walk the Dawg” MP3
March 27, 2008 – 2:35 am
I read this post the other day about Izza Kizza and was interested enough to sit down and listen to his music. So radical. Super bizarre. Way catchy. So so so weird. I love it though. Timbaland’s production is flawless as always. This song is my favorite from what I could grab online, but there [...]
Jay Reatard: “Always Wanting More” MP3
March 26, 2008 – 8:50 am
I’ve been hearing buzz about Jay Reatard for a hot minute now but for whatever reason didn’t really pick up on him until I read this post on Music for Robots. Dude KILLS it so hard. This song is amazing. Perfect pop song. I can’t wait to hear more of these singles as they come [...]
Al Green: “You’ve Got The Love I Need Babe (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)” MP3
March 25, 2008 – 2:59 pm
Radical new track from one of my all time favorite artists. The sound of this recording is amazing! It really recalls the essence of what made Al Green’s work so good - super smooth, never overdone, perfectly balanced. The bass in particular really brings it all together. Helps to have ?uestlove as a producer to [...]
James Pants: “Ka$h” MP3
March 13, 2008 – 10:07 am
James Pants is on Stonesthrow and is making some of the wildest music out there. Amazing synth sounds, freaky sloppy rhythms, and bizarre instrumntation. Pick up Rhytm Trax Vol. 1 at Turntable lab for a taste of what is to come from his full length Welcome in May. Also, enjoy this song:

Pitchfork Interviews No Age
March 11, 2008 – 8:21 am
I haven’t discussed No Age here yet, but I am a real big fan. Caught them lvie a couple weeks ago and they put on an amazing live show. Great interaction with the crowd and tons of passion for what they were doing. Pitchfork did an interview with them last week and it made me [...]
Superhumanoids: “Cranial Contest” MP3
March 10, 2008 – 3:07 am
I didn’t plan to record a song this weekend, but this just sort of happened. I kept it pretty simple - just drums, bass, guitar, and vocals - and did it in a much shorter time frame than I am used to. No synths (yet - still a demo) and relatively sparse production. I like [...]
The Franks: “Common Consensus” MP3
February 18, 2008 – 10:56 pm
The Franks is a band I am in with Sarah and my BFF Colin. We are a rock band. This is quite different from Superhumanoids but I love it. It is a lot more liberating. I play bass, Colin guitar/vox, and Sarah drums. Check it out (CC BY-NC):

Vampire Weekend and My Brian
January 29, 2008 – 11:56 pm
I’ve had a version of Vampire Weekend’s new album (BUY IT NOW) for a while (that Blue CD-R that ended up on so many 007 best-of’s) but recently I can’t stop listening to it. It is a pop masterpiece. I love it to death. I really do. Every song is so well constructed and open [...]
