River – Leon Bridges

9 April 2018

Take heart darlin.

I don’t want to be there anymore, I want to be here.  

I am here.  I am here, feet down, looking straight ahead, with one foot forward…

When The Levee Breaks – Led Zeppelin

9 April 2018

The following is a statement issued by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on December 4, 1980 – two months after drummer John Bonham’s death.

We wish it to be known, that the loss of our dear friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with the deep sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were… 

Brighter! – Cass McCombs

9 April 2018

With a laid-back feel that cuts right to the heart, Cass McCombs has crafted a unique and honest sound. The guitar riffs effortlessly flow over the percussion while the bass sits back and doesn’t miss a beat. His voice is a mix between spoken and sung which gives Cass McCombs the ability to tell us a story through his lyrics in a different way than usual; it feels like he’s talking directly to you…

Sonnet 130 – APE feat. Layla Moallem, Jah-Zee

9 April 2018

We jellyfish are living embodiments of the essence of poetry.  Poetry in motion, one might even say.  We are simple, succinct, infinitely manifold — even pointlessly so — and beautiful to contemplate.  As the world’s most efficient swimmers, we also aptly represent the words of Polonius from Shakespeare’s Hamlet:

Civilian – Wye Oak

9 April 2018

Let me tell you why this song belongs to one of the few perfect songs out there. It has to do with three components: Melody, emotion and arrangement. 

The first one is simple: The melody of the song, so wonderfully melancholic, yet so simple. Singer Jenn Wasner basically just sings up and down the scale, of course sometimes skipping a halftone or so. It brings you back to childhood memories,…

Tatlı Dile Güler Yüze – Altın Gün

Altın Gün, translated “gold day”, is a Dutch music project. They cover Turkish psychedelic essentials with their own style. The band consists of two Turks, Merve Daşdemir and Erdinç Ecevit Yıldız.

No Tell Lover – Chicago

9 April 2018

“No Tell Lover” is probably Chicago’s most underrated song. The understated use of horns, the subtly sexy lyrics, Peter Cetera and Donnie Dacus’ pitch perfect vocals and the indefinable feeling of contentment is a musical concoction that is indelible ear candy.

Danger! High Voltage – Electric Six

9 April 2018

Now I know I promised this week we’d be sticking with indie games but something came back across my radar and I had to find a crappy game it featured on in order to wedge it into the list. So here you go…

Fuck U Betta – Neon Hitch

9 April 2018

Neon Hitch grew to be one of my favorite electronic dance music artists over the years especially when she released this week’s song “Fuck U Betta” back in 2012. The song is about a girl trying to convince a guy that she can satisfy him better than his current gal…

Feels – Calvin Harris ft Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean

9 April 2018

This week’s track is inspired by the newest playlist on the site: Music to Vibe To! Our latest curator — Noka Agudah — featured this Calvin Harris joint as her first track on the site and we just had to steal it! And you can probably guess why…

Where Is My Mind? – Trampled by Turtles

I still recall hearing the original of this weeks track, back in the late 80’s .

The original as most of you would know, was written and delivered by Pixies’ front man, Francis Black. From the Surfer Rosa release, “Where Is My Mind”, has not only become a signature dish amongst Alternative listening circles – but has also been extensively used for film and TV advertisements and even video games, exposing it to the broader masses…
