Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch


I've been meaning to get a play list together of songs from Tarantino movies and Wes Anderson's, so finally I made it happen. They do an amazing job on soundtrack selection, adding elements and feel to their films that heighten everything from start to finish. You'd be hard pressed to find someone that would disagree.

King Khan & His Shrines


I've loved the style of this band for a while but couldn't find the song that made me lose my shit...I found it and it's probably because I'm able to yell "shes' fat, she's ugly."

Band Of Skulls


Put on head phones, close your eyes and imagine some 20,000 people loosing their minds, myself included. These guys whaled at Coachella and once again that festival sucked me in and wouldn't stop accosting me. Absolutely mind blasting, get that shit on and just wait for the ultimate climax.

 Good ol' Gill is back with that sultry voice that'll get plenty of panties in a twist.

Beach Fossils


I've had this in my back pocket for quite some time. It's one of those songs that doesn't really stand out until it's the right time. I happen to be letting everything play and it finally tugged. Sit back and suck it in.

Drink Up Buttercup


Reminiscent of a little beatles, to me at least...a great toe tapper, wonderful and light. Don't be afraid to sing along.

Dan Black


This wouldn't normally be my cup of tea because I hate tea but it's catchy enough to be on repeat.

Women


I've been loving this band for a while and finally got the album...there is something very experimental with the intangible sound that comes through. A sort of Animal Collective feel. I'm surprised I hadn't posted Black Rice a long time ago since it's been a constant favorite over the past 8 months. Two songs to give you a better feel...Lawncare, loud and in charge.

I took some pushing from a few friends to allow this one to grow on me.

The Ettes


One of my first posts was of this band with a couple of chicks that can rock...Here's something from another one of their albums that's a little more smoother...but don't be mistaken they still kick balls.

Karen Elson


Simple and it works...works well. With an eerie erotic goth sound that takes the pussy out of singer songwriter crap.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club


I was so excited for this album when I first heard about it. It doesn't disappoint delivering more powerful songs that'll make you twist your tits. Saw them live years back that put my doubts to rest as an "on the fence fan." Flipped out when I heard they'd be playing The Echoplex last week, considering the size of the venue, and watched with sheer awe the intensity of playing that would bring the prudish groupie to her knees. Sweet Feeling will remind you of the simplicity that many songs expressed in Howl while Beat the Devil's Tattoo speaks for itself. Fucking tits.

The Henry Clay People


An amazing song...I've been lucky to see these guys a couple of times and they never disappoint. This is my favorite thus far and I highly recommend checking them out.

Great pace...great beat...great song. This band does deliver a few solid songs on each of their albums.
