A Silent Film - Danny, Dakota and the Wishing Well

I love a song that tells a story. Actually, it’s my favorite kind of song. And this song tells an amazingly sad and beautiful story. Abso - freaking-lutely love this song.

…..and what a cool band name, yeah?

Phosphorescent - Muchacho’s Tune

Another newish album out is Phosphorescent’s Muchacho. For me, this was one of those albums that at first I just liked a few tracks but kept finding more and more I liked until now where I pretty much love the whole thing. This is my latest find that I love on the album.

Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey

So, the new Vampire Weekend album, Modern Vampires of the City, is now out and boy is it a doozy! Doozy meaning awesome.

Then again, if you’re a fan of the band, would you expect anything less?

The album is once again chock full of summery, poppish songs that instantly transform the listener into a better world of soda pop from a glass bottle, a sunny day on the beach, swim wear, sunshine, a ride in a comfortable, puppies, a nice cocktail, mangoes, a lounge chair and maybe some surfing or a swim.

On the flipside, and even though I’ve only played the album through a half dozen times or so the lyrics and feel of this album is by far the most mature and quite possibly the best thing I have heard from the band as of yet.

Buy. Listen. Love.

Greg Laswell - Salvation Dear

This is an older song, new to me, but man oh man do I love it.

“Okay
Go ahead and stay but don’t sleep in too late
I’ve got to wake alone

It’s just that goodnight is easier than goodbye
I’m already sold on ending up alone

And oh
Don’t you dare pray for my salvation dear
Can’t you tell that I’m in love with you here”

So good.

Noah and the Whale - There Will Come A Time

A new track by Noah and the Whale is always a good thing, and a new album is even better(Heart of Nowhere is due out May 6th, 2013).

This new track is a perfect example of exactly why I love this band.

Of Monsters and Men - Skeletons(Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cover)

This cover is as good as the title implies, assuming you know the bands. If you don’t know either of the bands,…..well, you should probably get your head out of the sand and familiarize yourself with both.

Two bands, with two entirely different sounds.

Of monsters and Men a earthy, folksy sounding band take a brilliant song by the edgy, in your face Yeah Yeah Yeahs and put their own twist on it, and the result is amazing.

Listen.

Mp3: Of Monsters and Men - Skeletons (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Cover)

I really love this. Thoughts?

Jinja Safari - Plagiarist

According to Wikipedia, “Jinja Safari are a self-produced & recorded band based in Sydney, Australia who draw from “afropop rhythms, (and) tumbling island guitar”^[1] to create African-inspired “dreamy folk pop, with a melodic richness comparable to acts like Sufjan Stevens, Animal Collective and Sigur Ros”.^[2] They are known for their energetic live shows.^[”

And actually, the bands entire Wiki page is pretty cool and it alone will make you want to give them a listen.

With a sound very similar to Vampire Weekend, Jinja Safari, Is perfect on this bright sunny day.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Let The Day Begin

I’ve heard at least a handful of BRMC songs since they formed and was never really that impressed(maybe I was just listening to the wrong tracks?). However, last week I heard this song on the radio and googled the lyrics, blah blah blah, and well, I love it. Slightly anthem like in the veins of a U2 song(A good U2 song,..and yes, they exist. ;) ) with some solid lyrics.

Anika - Love Buzz(Crystals Cover)

I’ll be honest, I hadn’t even heard of Anika until this morning, and I’m pretty glad I did. Anika, has a retro, sorta sound, reminiscent of Nico.

Lana Del Ray - Chelsea Hotel No. 2 ( Leonard Cohen Cover)

I’m posting this without actually listening to it because I can’t have the volume up right now, and couldn’t find my headphones, so I’m basically assuming Lana Del Ray + Leonard Cohen will = Awesomeness.

Am I right?

This reminds me of an 80’s song in all the best ways. Seriously, doesn’t the intro kinda sound like that ‘every breath you take’ song?

Glasvegas - Stronger Than Dirt (Homosexuality Part 2.)

I watched a movie last night(For Greater Glory) about the ban of Catholocism in Mexico by the government in the early 20th century, and the main character General Enrique Gorostieta( played by Andy Garcia) leads an army in rebellion. The part that grabbed me was a conversation between Enrique and his wife where she was questioning his motives for fighting when he was in fact an atheist. The general stated ” I may be an atheist, but I believe in freedom”.

Think about it.

I am not gay, but I do believe in freedom.

Fol Chen - I.O.U.

Fol Chen describes their sound as Opera House, which I think is awesome and hilarious, but also doesn’t really make sense, I suppose. Sounding more like floaty, electronic music helmed by the voice of an angel. Seriously, I don’t even think I could look her in the yes while she was singing….ha.

…anyways, the new album,The False Alarms,is out now and if this track is any indicator of the quality of the rest of the album, it is a must have.

We’ll see.
