The Shins - "The Rifle's Spiral"

Official Site for The Shins
An gorgeous video for the first single off the new album, Port of Morrow. I'm a HUGE fan of stop-motion animation as well as The Shins. Two good things that go great together. Enjoy!

Dana Buoy - 'So Lucky'

Dana Buoy's Facebook

Recorded out in a bungalow in a lagoon near Thailand...yet another reason to follow your heart and do what you love. While this isn't an amazing track, there's just this dreamy flavor to it that I really enjoyed. I just wish it didn't end so abruptly. Enjoy!

Death Grips - I've Seen Footage

I've never listened to them before, but this song just kinda grabbed me tonight and I sort of liked it! How do YOU like them? Let me know and I'll 'see' ya next time!

Catcall - "The World Is Ours"

CatCall's Official Site

Catherine Kelleher of the punk band Kiosk is about to go solo. I've always wondered where she'd end up because you could just tell she had that 'it' factor. Here's the first video off of the upcoming album, The Warmest Place.


If you like the song, here are a couple others that I've enjoyed from Catcall. Enjoy!

Catcall - "Satellites":


Catcall - "Swimming Pool":

The Penelopes - "Sally in the Galaxy"

This video and song is a mix of things I like: superheroes, childhood imagination, a twist and when people get what they deserve after they bully someone. Enjoy!

Jane Birkin - Orang Outan

When I started this blog it was meant to be about those long forgotten gems that have all but disappeared from the collective hive mind. Originally this blog was to be geared more toward the novelty section in the back of the record stores of old. What ended up happening is a lot of emails asking me about current bands that I enjoy or bands that I see getting traction and eventually worming their way into our ears. THIS song by Jane Birkin instantly brought me back to what I was thinking about when I started this blog. It's a perfect example of the stuff I was looking for. The more I listen to this, the more I enjoy it! Enjoy!

LeftBoy - Outro

LeftBoy's SoundCloud Profile

  LeftBoy (aka Ferdinand Sarnitz) is quietly creeping into the mainstream.  Using videogame references and an art-house approach to what sounds like someone who knows what they're doing with a lot of free sound tools, LeftBoy's sound grabbed my attention with the song 'Videogames' not too long ago.
  While a lot of people won't like this right away, I suggest giving his stuff a couple listens.  I think you'll get hooked like I did on this guy.
   I'm going to post a warning for some of you who I know have kids and listen to this blog.  Make sure the little ones aren't around for this particular track.  You, on the other hand, should probably load 'Outro' into your workout playlist because it's that kind of a track.
  Enjoy!
