Thralls of Winter

Made this over thanksgiving break starring the little brother. I posted the song by Siriusmo a few weeks ago. Watch it (full screen?), download the song, enjoy, prosper etc.

Jesus was french and a disco maniac

Not quite out of the deep and dark woods of paper writing. Struggling. But my savior Breakbot is helping to guide me through...

¡¡¿¿WHAT DOESN'T BREAKBOT DO??!!

Help him help you. Obviously everyone loves Baby, I'm Yours. Easily one of my top 10 from '10. I'm on that songs fucking nuts. But now there are a few new pair of nuts on which i've hopped on recently in the form of the coveted Breakbot remix. Before you scoff, understand i didn't know any of these originals either, here's a hint: you don't gotta!!

FIRST: HE DOES MATTY DEAR!!

This one has really grown on me. But I guess that just doesn't really make sense because it was this good in the first place?

Download: Matthew Dear- You Put A Smell On Me (Breakbot Remix)

>For those who have yet to be acquainted to Matthew Dear:

Download: Matthew Dear- Soil to Seed

SECOND: HE DOES IT ON THE PLANE!

And returns the favor nicely. Nice little pop to this one.

Download: Aeroplane- Without Lies (Breakbot Remix)

THIRD: HE DOES A THING FOR YOU!

Gottasay, I like this better than the orig. Gave a little extra oompf to the vocals. But the video is still pretty bad ass.

Download: Metronomy- A Thing For Me (Breakbot Remix)

Please take it upon yourself to listen and enjoy. Good luck and we'll meet soon. Amen.

Is it sad that currently, the moment of my day i look forward to most be when i get to slip my socks off underneath my covers before i fall asleep? In the midst of finals induced despair, I would argue no fucking way.

La Paz

Pitchfork fed my need for a medium of procrastination and conveniently recently put up their Top 50 albums/100 songs of 2010. Definitely worth checking out. Many a song I have yet post. Coming in at #1 song was Round and Round by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. Although I think spot 1 is a little ambitious, I definitely would have put the whole album (which I got for free somewhere last spring) somewhere around there...

Whole album's worth checking out but I keep a special place for these two tracks, both of which i actually was going to use in a short film over the summer that never materialized... typical. Great chillwave 60s retro vibe (whatever the fuck that means). Enjoy.

And lastly, your moment of library zen aka moment of nostalgia (for anyone who's experienced a Central High homecoming dance):

Folk and Dog Afternoon

Angus, Julia, their Dog:

(SO GOOD) Been meaning to post this song since last spring. For all the lovers out there, an astoundingly well made song-- great harmonizing vocals and hook. Kicks into things so nicely with drums and string accompaniment. The tune from the talented (and pretty attractive) Australian sister/brother duet should warm everyone's cold ass day up...



Download: Angus & Julia Stone- Big Jet Plane


DR. DOG:

Pretty easy to fall in love with these guys out of Philly (if you haven't likely already). Another couple tracks I've been meaning to put up since spring but  sometimes these themes just fall in my lap. Just a couple of my favorites...



Download: Dr. Dog- Ain't It Strange
Download: Dr. Dog- Heart It Races


Another song, another dog photo:

Another well-crafted song that goes nicely with the mix (besides the photo). Listened to it most of the summer but it definitely sounds more pertinent now in the winter. 

(Listen to it here) (if you don't trust me)

Also will take this opportunity to announce I just found out Snoop Dogg will in fact be in Madison on Feb. 1st as part of the Get Wet Tour. Any takers?


Aaaaand lastly, I couldn't help myself...
