Be Cool

Be Cool by Lake Street Dive (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
This is a pretty chill and funky tune by Rachael Price. She’s a badass jazz musician out of Tennessee and was only 22 when she recorded this. This is one of my favorite tunes.

American Goldwing

American Goldwing by Blitzen Trapper (download here)
Nothing like brand new classic rock to make my day. The first single from Blitzen’s new album totally kicks ass.

China Bull Curse

The Curse of China Bull by Paul Cary (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
This is a great bluesy song to start the week. A saxophone comes out of nowhere. Enjoy

Rock It

Rock It by Little Red (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Just an amazing catchy tune to start your Monday after a holiday break. Little Red’s music has been described as similar to that of The Beach Boys, in that it is old-fashioned rock and roll with all members except the drummer contributing to both lead singing and harmonies

Pumped Up Kicks

Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
A great new song by Foster The People who are ranked as a top 25 new band of 2010. These guys have a knack for melody, catchy beats, and electronic detail. It’s sort of a ideal tune for a fantasy backyard BBQ

I’ll love you till the end

Grrrl by Dios Malos (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Happy Friday everyone. This is just a nice little ditty that’ll take you into the weekend

Sun Again Is Shining

Sun Again Will Shine by slackstring (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Just a happy, folk song for your Thursday. Found this song about 4 years ago when trolling MySpace. Still good

Bushwick

Bushwick Blues by The Delta Spirit (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
“My love is strong, my heart is sweet. After all” These guys used to stay on Tiger’s couch and now they’re churning out bigtime tracks. Love this song. I saw that wikipedia called this guys “hybrid of rock and northern soul” which i think is a good description.

Okkervil Coastline

Lost Coastlines by Okkervil River (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
Such a good song. This song has all of it. Horns, drums, slow, fast, jam and some good lyrics. One of my favorites from 2007. More Okkervil here and here

Heard it in a ridiculous movie

Heard it In A Love Song by The Marshall Tucker Band (download here) (Buy from Amazon)
I watched the most ridiculous movie of all time, Crank 2: High Voltage. In that movie, the most ridiculous scene of them all has a couple (Amy Smart & Jason Statham) having sex on a racetrack. That scene, while completely absurd, has a good tune playing in the background. Here it is. It hit #14 in the charts in 1977
