Too Heavy For Monday Morning

Bloody Beetroots have a remix album coming out on Feb. 14th. Here's an old one (Tiga remix). And I already told you it was too heavy for Monday morning. By-the-by here's my show schedule:

Friday 28 Jan - T-Bird and the Breaks at Continental Club
Wednesday 2 Feb - Deerhoof at Emos
Saturday 7 Feb - Murder By Death at Red 7
Friday 18 Feb - Tapes N Tapes at Mowhawk

First aid stripes

As you all know, I was super smitten with first aid kit when they were in town for ACL. Apparently Jack White is fan as well, and they just released two songs recorded by him in Gnashville. Here is one o' them.

First Aid Kit - It Hurts Me Too by Cover Me

Morning C.E.O.

This morning my Iphone decided to wake me up with this song. It was an incredible morning so I decided to share part of my good mood with you guys.

In my opinion, ceo put out one of last year's best ep's (White Magic)... here's his video for "Come with me."

Black Flag Vs. Duran Duran

You POV Shot Me In The Head

New video and single from Australian ex-pats, now natives of Brooklyn The Deathset. They'll be at SxSW this year, but also have been the last 3 years.

Aloe for the soul

I feel soulful this morning and Aloe Blacc is awesome.

Here are two songs from his latest album "Good Things," released last September.

Oil Rasslin'

Great song by Broken Social Scene. They released this video in December.

Texico Bitches, enjoy:

I’m cocky and single and I got your genes tingling Girl, with my costly signaling

I think most of us heard Baba B-man's Natural Selection song when it showed up over the summer. The full album is on his bandcamp and a video funded by the National Science Foundation is on the way. My favorite and the source of this post's title is 'Sexual Selection.'

Was language originally a mechanism for survival or reproduction?
Can you talk a predator out of attacking?
Can you talk a parasite out of infecting?
Can you talk a potential mate in to consenting?
Potentially, right?

Massive Bird And Fish Die-Off Connected To Government Testing

Going home and back to work requires some pick me up music. I'm not sure this does, but it's beautiful anywho. Also, given the mass bird die off of late, the cover is a fitting eulogy. 'Made In Heights' is a side project for Sabzi, DJ for Blue Scholars, and a new vocalist known only as Kelsey. You can download the whole album free and legal from their bandcamp http://madeinheights.bandcamp.com/. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

Puke and Fart

Buke and Gass are a duo from brooklyn named after two instruments they actually created together (as in actually made the instruments themselves), the buke is some sort of baritone ukulele with six strings and the gass (pronounced "gace") is a guitar-bass hybrid. If you only read that description you would probably think that their music is boring and soft hipster crap, but actually it's surprisingly busy and energetic, and the girl has a very nice voice. They released a full length called Riposte in September, but I enjoy their 2009 EP better. Here it is in its entirety for your streaming pleasure.
