Mathematical!

Found this on Reddit and I thought I'd share. I'm not really sure how the song relates to the Fibonacci Sequence, or if it really does at all. Sounds mathematically sound to me though!

Slow Down Dolly

Lots of people have heard the amazing rendition of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" by The White Stripes, but no one does it better than Dolly herself even when slowed down as evidenced here:

Gridlocked Girls

Make The Girls Dance have brought us some great videos ("Baby, Baby, Baby", Kill Me") here's another. I guess "Baby, Baby, Baby" did so well, they figured you can't really go wrong with attractive women. They're not nude this time, but they are dancing, and there are close ups. Check out "Girls" below!

Dreamscapes

Shigeto's new album No Better Time Than Now came out 8 days ago, and today we get a video from the album. Shigeto had this to say about the new video:

"Some close friends & I worked very hard on a short film for "Detroit Part 1". We wanted to show a somewhat abstract, psychedelic dream, loosely representing how my life has been in Detroit and the experiences I've gone through. It's different, weird and very personal. I hope u can dig it."

Anyway, here's the video, I hope you dig it too.

Like A Mime

This Is Tropical video came out back in February, but I just found out about it. It's old, but it's an excellent video so I'm posting it anyway. "Yellow Teeth" is from the album I'm Leaving which came out in May of this year. The album is great and also features "Lover's Cave" which I think I posted before as well.

Just discovered Discovery the other day. It's one member from Vampire Weekend, and one member from Ra Ra Riot. The result is super chill indie-electro-pop. I super dig it, check out "Osaka Loop Line" below!

2 on 22

I know I just posted about HNNY the other day, but I've been listening to move of it and it's amazing. Check out "Kela" which was just posted today, and "Mys" which was posted on the 14th. Looks like he's got quite a variety of styles he's playing with. 3 EP's this year, and 1 last year. Hopefully an LP soon?

Major UMEK

Time for some tech house! UMEK, who dropped his first album back in 1997, has a number of years as well as a number of techno and house tracks under his belt. After dropping this track "Move Around" today, I can't wait to see what else he has up his sleeves! His last LP release was 2011, so hopefully a new album soon?


Also released today, another video from Major Lazer. Can we please just get a full length feature film featuring the Major? Check out "Scare Me" ft. Peaches and Timberlee.

Always Safe

Kölsch just released his first album full length this year, back in June. 1977 is the title of it, and it's a little bit techno, a little bit house, but all good. I'm excited to see what this man grows into. Hopefully he keeps it up!

Soul Dancing

AM & Shawn Lee released a new video today. Kinda disappointed in the video, as I've recently seen a number of videos that were exactly the same as this featuring old footage from Soul Train. Just seems unoriginal. Get it together AM&SL.

Bouncing Floating Heads

Recently my friend Jen asked me if I had introduced her to the band Minitel Rose... I hadn't, and she didn't remember who had, but oh boy I loved it when she played it for me. It's weird, quirky even, but I love it. The video is pretty quirky too. I love the laughing-floating-bouncing heads. Awesome band!

Two Drummers

You're the guy?!?
Thought this story was pretty funny and some of you would get a kick out of it. I know I have a few drummer friends that read my blog and they're bound to love it.


Hanging In The Balance
Daniel Waples is an excellent musician I found while looking up a hang drum solo from a Shpongle show (video 1 - video 2) I went to. Relatively new, hang drums were invented around 2000. I think they're super awesome and I'd love to play with one some day.

Two For Tuesday

Got two videos from Shortcircles today. One that slipped by me last month, and one just released today! Last month this video for "On My Mind" was released, shot in Oakland, the video reminds me of my times in the East Bay and really makes me wanna return and visit friends.

The second video, "Tunnels" features footage from a trip to and from a show in LA with some other Oakland resident musicians James and Evander, who I've had the privilege seeing live here in San Diego, and on their home turf in Oakland.

My Mind Is Ready To Hunt

Günther is back with a video for "Pussy Cat" which was released back in 2008. Why it took so long to come about with this is unknown, but could the video's arrival mean new material coming soon? I'd love to hear a new album from him, we'll just have to wait and see!
