Songs that are Blowin my Mind
Some stuff I haven't been able to turn off:
- Jake Fussell - Star Girl, Rabbit on a Log (myspace) All of the songs Jake's got on his Myspace page are pretty much playing around my place nonstop. Listen at how warm and relaxed that sound is, just a voice and guitar playin' blues that's as comfortable as old blue jeans. I don't think he's got any albums, though, so this is all I've got for now. Sigh.
- The Kinks - This Time Tomorrow (YouTube) 'Cause it was in The Darjeeling Limited trailer and also in Les Amants Reguliers which I am dying to see.
- Rogue Wave - Eyes (IGIF). They've got a new album coming out. I'm excited.
- Flight of the Conchords - uh, all of their songs. (YouTube) Yeah, I like parody songs, especially by guys who can use "muesli" in a rhyming couplet. Also, they're cute.
- John Vanderslice - Time to Go (high-res video) New album coming soon!
- Leatherbag - Tennessee (lonesome music) Definitely an early Red House Painters vibe.
- Lil' Wayne - I Feel Like Dying (FADER). The sampling is brilliant. And haunting.
- Jim Jonsin - Beer Buzz (myspace) A freestyle throwaway summer sample that'd be great on a mixtape.
