Dan Auerbach

It's been a while...I get it.

Half of what is The Black Keys kicks out a great album with a little alternative flair to what we are use to hearing. I appreciate this one cause it's catchy in an uncheese dick way.

"My Last Mistake" by Dan Auerbach

Elvis Perkins

This one will make you tap...another kick ass band recommendation by dirty Adair.

"Doomsday" by Elvis Perkins

The Polyamorous Affair

Outta nowhere I just so happen to take a look at the lineup at The Echo... and bam, dope ass groves.

"Nightlife" by The Polyamorous Affair

Future Islands

Love the band...but mostly the proposed album art designed by Ryan Adair, check out his site and blog.

"Pinnochio" by Future Islands

Bishop Allen

Another one of those slow jams that have been boiling on my speakers for the past couple of weeks. A lot of Bishop Allen's stuff has a wonderful indie quality about it... it's catchy and off-beat. Busted Heart is also another favorite off the Charm School album... who knows I'll probably post it tomorrow.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

I've been planning on diving into this bands extensive catalogue for years now but I guess you could say I haven't been in the mood. I ran across this little gem, that's getting me motivated, on pandora after I created a station for The Dutchess and The Duke. Bam that's one bad ass start. Listen a couple of times when your feeling confident and relaxed. Yeeeeeaaahhh baby.

"Feel So Good" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Atlas Sounds

It's kinda catchy, in an ambient way. Shhheeeeeeeeeeeelliiiaaaaaa. I took me a while but I made it.

"Shelia" by Atlas Sounds

Washed Out

There's something that slowly grew on me with this one. Still not sure and I can't place my finger on it, but I keep coming back to it. Not a typical jam that I'd normally play but figured it was worth sharing.

"New Theory" by Washed Out

Dead Man's Bones

Just one more reason why Ryan Gosling rules.

"Lose Your Soul" by Dead Man's Bones

The Drums

Straight outta a place called "the bomb ass shit"... I ran across them attending this local residency at, yup you guessed it, Spaceland. Haven't been able to get this song outta my head. It's your new favorite whistling song.

"Let's Go Surfing" by The Drums

The Impossible Shapes

After D&D I'm on this mellow kick and found this one on Pandora. Of course it's on loop and I'm up to 45 plays between my computer and ipod. I'm currently looking into their new album, and I'm sure if I approve you'll get a lick.

"Pan-Ther" by The Impossible Shapes

The Dutchess & And The Duke

Second posting from this band...gonna see them live and am pretty fucking stoked...enjoy yourself.

"Hands" by The Dutchess & And The Duke

Rain Machine

Give it a listen. If you like TV then you'll probably be able to handle this. I can dig it...it's got a little of an off-beat feel.

"Give Blood" by Rain Machine

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

I had the privileged of see this guy after coming back and listening to his first album over and over all year.  He played and Spaceland so you can be sure I got my shit together and got there.  I happened to have come across this song I had overlooked for far too long.  Grab some good head phones and eliminate all distractions, you won't be disappointed.  It's starts slow and finishes hard.

"Mountaineerd" by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson

Built To Spill

Built To Spill has a new album out that I have yet to delve into. So of course I'll bring it back a bit to my favorite. Just listen to them strings.

"The Car" by Built To Spill
