I think I really like this new Sia track. It says: Up With People! From her new album due next year called We Are Born produced by Greg Kurstin. Sort of reminds me of The Weather Girls meets Freeze (A-E-A-E-I-O-U) meets Deborah Harry's This Jam Was Moving. Or whatever that song was called. ...

Chris from Gorilla Vs Bear recently dropped a new song by Harlem , a cover of "Sometimes" written and originally recorded by Gene Thomas . The original (in the video below) was a smooth ballad that veered towards the more middle-of-the-road lillywhite pop sounds of the day. The song was ...

SVB can almost always get into the groove and a quick intro to Nite Jewel by our pals over at Stones Throw saw some pretty quick disco dancing action happening. This song is sort a of twisted 80's Arthur Baker tribute on mushrooms - heard through the ears of Ciccone Youth's take on "Into ...

Thanks to Evan over at Together In Digital Dreams for turning me on to Xylos , a five piece from Brooklyn who play a sort of sensitive and charming kind of indie-pop. They've got a sweet five song EP available for free here ; all worth checking out. For you Philadelphians, they play at ...

Oh yeah, and here's a new Tindersticks song from their forthcoming album, Falling Down A Mountain due in February. Sort of reminds me of "Satisfaction" meets "Time Is Tight." And if you don't know those songs, your license to blog should be revoked. Black Smoke - Tindersticks

One of our favorite local illadelphian singer/songwriters Langhorne Slim plays Johnny Brenda's here in Philly with LA CSN&Y throwbacks Dawes this Thursday nite. It's got the makings of a great evening of new troubadourism. Here's one of a bunch of great songs from Langhorne's new ...

You may have read about the next installment of Beck's Record Club - taking on the odd & obscure classic album Oar by Skip Spence and recruting help from Wilco, Feist and Jamie Lidell to do it. Spence, for those of you unfamiliar with him, was a founding member of Moby Grape and ...

Soulsavers' new album Broken seems to have fallen on quiet ears since its release in August. The band's redemptive gospel-goth-rock & soul seems to have gotten more cinematic and sonically expansive since their album of almost two years ago, It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You ...

My friend Peter Himmelman did this really funny bit on his internet show Furious World last night called "The Black Man's Treatment" where he compared a song by a duo he deemed the "whitest duo ever" to a cover of their song by a Black artist. The duo: Seals & Crofts. The song: "Summer ...
