HEY BROS!!!!
SPRING BREAK '06!!!!!!!!
I say this everytime that I write, but I'll do it again... I haven't updated this in a while. I'm in the library on this lovely Wednesday evening finishing up preparing for my midterms and then headed off to lovely Little Torch Key. Conveniently located twenty-five miles from lovely Key West, I get the luxury of a quiet private little island and the debauchery of Duval Street all in one great package! They fourteen hour drive will be...grueling, but I think I can handle it. I don't feel like giving you any more prose than is absolutely needed, so this time I'll let the music do most of the talking. There has been so many good tunes that I've been listening to currently that I'll do my best to update again tomorrow or friday before I leave as to give you even more jams to add to a roadtrip playlist if you happen to be on the move like myself. Southward Ho!
Magic Lanterns: Dark Cicadas
This is the band that I wished played at every party I went to and this is the only song I've heard from them. Loud fuzzed out guitars with a serious funky attitude, riding basslines, and pounding drums. Total rage song. Reminds me of Jimi Hendrix for the indie scene. No need for words, here or there.
The Morning Benders: Excuses
50's esque doo-wop combined with modern indie-pop sensibilities. I got an Itunes gift card two Christmas' ago and I spent ten bucks of it on the Morning Benders first album due to Apple's recommendation of best 'Alternative' album of 2008. It really blew and I lost faith in Apple's credibility. After hearing this though, it seems The Morning Benders have found their niche, thanks to production credits from Chris Taylor, bass player/mulit-instrumentalist from Grizzly Bear. But really, It is imperative you look down below for an even more beautiful fleshed out live version of the song featuring John Vanderslice and that weird looking bro from 'Girls' (ironic).
Coyote Clean Up: Don't Worry Dub (feat. Orphan)
Some post chill-chillwave from some bro that I don't know much about. What I do know is that the bass in the song has this ability to make you feel as if you are in fact being sucked into a speaker. Some heady shit man.
Amanaz: Khala My Friend
Some African psychedelic music circa Ninetenn-seventy-something all the way from beautiful Zambia. One of my favorite songs of the moment, it should appeal to everyone. This jam sets the mood just right when I'm relaxing after a long hard day of NHL '10 with my bros. Seriously.
jj: My Way (feat. Lil' Wayne)
This song is pure magic. I never really caught on to 'jj' until I heard this song. Her slow cough syrup vocals and tropical haze aura mesh beautifully with weezy's flow. I have a hard time describing this one. JUST LISTEN.

Ryan Bingham: The Weary Kind
Saw "Crazy Heart" the other day. It's a small kind of movie if you catch my drift, but Jeff Bridges does an excellent job playing Country/Western has-been 'Bad Blake'. All of the music in it is fantastic if you're into that sort of thing, but this song takes the cake. I'm positive it'll win best picture by the way they hype up the song in the damn movie. However, I've never heard a tune with so much sadness and grief, yet so much sentiment. This is the only song I've heard from this guy but T-Bone Burnett produced it as well as wrote it and he's certainly got an eye for talent. Think Rocky Votolato but with room to grow.
PS I LOVE YOU: Facelove
Band name aside, best Broken Social Scene song that Broken Social Scene never made. Shreddin.
The-Dream: Love King
Radio Killa's back with the first leaked song off his last solo album (apparently). It's a pretty schizophrenic jam, one that I'm gonna need to listen to a couple more times before I figure out how I feel about it.
Harlem: Someday Soon
Banging on shit, breaking guitars. I can't wait for their album "Hippies". This maintains their ruff n' tumble lifestyle while adding a relatively sunny element to their repertoire.
