Black is the new Black – Black Mountain and Black Angels
In an attempt to get all my firends to see the Black Mountain / Black Angels show this coming Monday (22nd) at the Clubhouse I am posting some of my favs…
Both these bands bring the heavy indie psychedelic rock jams!!! Think Black Sabbath, Iron Butterfly with a new-retro indie spin. Can’t wait till Monday!!!
The Hair Song – Black Mountain
Queens Will Play – Black Mountain
Bloodhounds On My Trail – Black Angels
GET GOOD HEADPHONES!!!!!
If you are playing the music on this blog on your PC or laptop speakers…… stop listening. Seriously. Either hook up a sick set of loudspeakers or get Bose headphones at a minimum… (I highly suggest and currently sporting Shure SRH840′s).
Listen to the music the way the artist meant it to be heard (loud and clean) and your love for music will reach new levels.
Thanks for listening! (And please keep listening even if you are rocking the laptop speakers.)

Spring Mixtape :: 2 of 2
About to drop the bomb on your weekend!!! If you don’t find something on this mix you like…. oh well, too bad for you.
Ratatat :: 17 Years – Dope stuff from Ratatat. Just getting warmed up… (btw… can’t wait for their new album. May 18)
Gorillaz :: On Melancholy Hill – I am loving this new album. Chill song for what’s about to come…
The XX :: VCR (Matthew Dear Remix) – Stepping up the energy slightly. One of the best XX remixes I have heard yet… and there are tons out there.
Blue Scholars :: New People (Empire of the Sun Remix) – You can’t help but MC along after the 3rd time you hear this one. Catchy stuff!!
Crown City Rockers :: Balance (feat. Scarub) – Straight outa Oakland. Not Too$hort gangsta… but sick base line groove from the Bay.
ChocQuibTown :: El Bombo (Toquemen el Bombo) – Time for Maragaritas!!!
Wailing Souls :: Shark Attack – Is it 4:20 yet? Now that’s a pool party!!!
Billy Ocean :: Caribbean Queen – Billy is still the Friar of Fresh. I think of dark tanned bodies when I hear this song. Love it!
Vampire Weekend :: Holiday – This song makes me want to order a Dos Equis from a beach bar that exists in my daydreams…. ice cold with a lime…mmmmmm!!!
Ra Ra Riot :: Can You Tell – Penny loafers and poped collars punk
Free Energy :: Free Energy – Listen to this one if you are lacking energy. Free Energy has plenty to dish out. Love the 70′s Camero guitar licks… think Cars.
Two Door Cinema Club :: Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix) – BOOM!!!! Now we are shaking rumps… “Let’s get this started girl”
The Beach Boys :: Wouldn’t It Be Nice (The Girls Can Hear Us Remix) – Usually not a fan of retro remixes…but… this is a perfect summer party jam.
Crystal Castles :: Crimewave (Midnight Conspiracy Remix) – Pure remix 80′s new wave magic. The Daft Punk beat at 1:36 is LEGIT!!!!!
wait what (the notorious b.i.g. vs. the xx) :: one more chance for a heart to skip a beat – This wait what mashup will make you say “wait… what?” VERY EXPLICIT (I warned you… but you still listened. Don’t blame me.)
Animal Collective :: Daily Routine (Phaseone Remix) – Ending it all with a chill ass remix. My fav Collective mix to date.

Geographer :: Kites – Music that makes you feel cool….
There are some songs I hear and immediately a smile comes on my face and I think to myself…. “this is music for cool people”…. then I say…… “does that mean I’m ….?”………… well at least when I listen to it I am cool in my own mind for that moment. I love that music can do that to you!!!!! Songs like Kites make me love music.
Geographer was somehow lost in the mix of bands like Passion Pit, Yeasayer and xx who are all brilliant. I say they belong in the mix. Either way… I am thrilled I found the Animal Shapes – EP.
This weekend must do: Put your Gucci sunglasses on, roll down your windows while you drive around in the Spring sunshine blasting Geographer – Kites!!! Now you’re soooooo cooooool.
Notable Tracks: Kites, Night Winds, Original Sin

Spring Mixtape :: 1 of 2
I would personally listen to this mix by the pool, beer in hand and burgers grillin… but I am sure you will have fun listening whatever you decide to do. (I really suggest the bbq pool thing though)
Gorillaz :: Welcome To The World of The Plastic Beach (Feat. Snoop Dogg and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble)
The Notorious B.I.G. vs. the xx :: Islands Is The Limit
Lil Wayne :: Track 03 Lil Wayne Mixed Tape
Bassnectar :: Magical World feat. Nelly Furtado

Blackalicious :: Side To Side (With Lateef & Pigeon John)
Mayer Hawthorne :: Your Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasin’ Nothin’
Jimmy Liggins :: I Ain’t Drunk
The Hotrats :: Love Is the Drug…. and it’s good.
The Hotrats is a cover band formed by Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey as a side-project from their main band Supergrass.
They cover Roxy Music’s, Love Is the Drug which is one of my all time most favorite-ist songs. Roxy Music is so slick and sly with their funky ass version of the song. The Hotrats do a killer job covering it and put a slight euro-trashy spin on it but still keep the right amount of funk and slyness. Good Love!!!
Hotrats :: Love Is the Drug – Turn Ons
Roxy Music :: Love Is the Drug (Single)
