Dave Gahan & The Soul Savers - "The Longest Day"

I've always loved Dave Gahan's solo stuff. This has his touch all over it and it's pretty awesome. Enjoy!

Avalanche - "Frontier Psychiatrist"

The Avalanches Official Site
It's been TWELVE YEARS since they've put out an album. There official site states that something special is going to be announced. They've been working on an album since 2005 that "its so fuckin party you will die, much more hip hop than you might expect...".
Being a BIG fan of The Art of Noise, Negativland and the short-lived Emergency Broadcast Network, The Avalanches instantly became a staple of my ear's diet back in 2000.
While they're not new, their album, Since I Left You, is one of my all-time favorite things to listen to simply because it's comprised of samples and 'found-sound' clips. Those that've followed this blog for any length of time know that I'm a HUGE sound design nut. When someone takes random samples and creates something like The Avalanches did in 2000 (it is CONSTANTLY listed in "Best of" lists overseas), it just shows how fun music can be!
Enjoy the only two videos actually created for 'Since I Left You'...both are two of my favorite music videos because of how insanely unique they are.
If you've never heard of The Avalanches? You're welcome.
Enjoy!

Stockholm Orlando - "The Young and the Free"

Stockholm Orlando's Site
This is a band I found by happy accident and I highly suggest you begin paying attention to. They need some love so let the reposts commence! Here's the latest...Enjoy!

KONSHENS - "Jamaican Dance" (Official Music Video)

Normally I don't post stuff like this. However, because of another project I'm working on (The Celebrate! Project) this song really fit that project extremely well considering that I'm inviting people to follow and celebrate a year's worth of holidays with me in hopes of helping get people to step out of their comfort zones. Enjoy!

U900 - 'Twist and Shout'

Originally this blog was started as a showcase for novelty songs and videos. It sort of evolved into me just sharing new music I'm sticking in my ears.
Dr. Demento fed my ears for four hours every Sunday while I was growing up in Southern California. Here's something that would probably be a part of a modern-day Dr. Demento Show. Enjoy...this is strangely adorable.

Purity Ring - "Obedear"

I really don't know anything about the band except that I found this song haphazardly on YouTube through the suggested videos section. It was a perfect song for the mood I had going on while working on several social media projects that were up against a deadline. Enjoy!
