Allo Darlin

One of my favorite tracks from 3 years ago, The Polaroid Song from Allo Darlin

They're most recent single has a B side called Wu Tang Clan, how cool is that?

You can pick up these and other wonders at their bandcamp page.

The Tallest Man on Earth

I'm listening to this guy again today. This is a fine, fine Dylan cover:

He also had a nice EP that came out in 2010 featuring this song.

The Rosebuds

I'd forgotten all about this song - from what I think is by far my favorite Rosebuds album, Make Out:

The whole album is worth a listen. Lots of good mix fodder on there - Back To Boston, Boys Who Love Girls and Kicks in the Schoolyard have all made it onto mixes of mine over the years.

Rilo Kiley & Pinback

Kickin it 2004 style this week. Rilo Kiley had arguably their biggest moment in the sun with the album More Adventurous and Pinback reached what most fans consider the pinnacle of their sound so far with Summer in Abaddon.

Kate Bush

Kate Bush falls in love with a snowman in a nice return to form.

mojave 3

There are two popular versions of this song - I prefer the second but they are both lovely. It is a perfect tune for this time of year when everything is turning cold and grey.


Just pray for us, pray for sunshine
These days are cold and I´m missing you
This letter was meant for your eyes
Destroy it and then just go hide
You´re the only thing left that makes any sense
Please don´t blow it

Five for Fighting

Before they had their 15 minutes with the ballad Superman, Five for Fighting was putting out pretty good rock and roll.
