Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II

YES!!! Feb. 5th for UMO and March 5th for Youth Lagoon! Fuck YEA!!! 

Let me add that these are two of the coolest album covers I've seen. Youth Lagoon's looks like something I wish I thought up. God there is so much great music out there. You just have to look.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Endless Shore (Melody's Echo Chamber Cover)

Check this out. Unknown Mortal Orchestra covers Melody's Echo Chamber's song "Endless Shore". The original is my favorite off her album. I love when bands I love cover music from other musicians I love especially the song I love most, love it, love it, love it. Full of love!

Death and Vanilla

I think I stumbled upon one of my new favorite groups. I'm speechless. I mean wow. Love it. Love it. Love it. Wish I could own the vinyl. It's music like this that makes me happy to be living in the time that I am. I'm going to let this one speak for itself! Enjoy!

Belles Will Ring - Crystal Theatre

Woah, how has this record slipped past my clutches for over a year!? If ya dig the Laurel Canyon vibe, then this is for you. If you like Crosby, Stills, Nash AND Young, you're in the right place. It has those late 60's influences with the organs/keys, guitars and bass much like that off all the best artists of the 70's, from Neil, to David Gilmour to Danny Kirwan and Peter Green. Great stuff. The best part is they still make it their own sound. Awesome stuff.

Good Ol' Thomas Campbell

Temple - A Film By Jack Coleman

The only film that supersedes this one is "Tracking". I like what Deus is doing. A LOT. The dudes in this film and we are kindred spirits. The only thing is this film is available here in the States, where as Tracking is only available in Australia and to ship it here costs 22.00 or I could overnight it for 78 dollars! Alas, for now I will have to put off purchasing Tracking until a later date. I might get this soon though.

Here's Tracking's trailer

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Kinski Assassin

This is fucking weird. Real fucking weird. And hilarious.

Maple Leaves & Snow Mounds (Mikey Detemple)

Treehouse

Trippy, drippy, 8-bit partly, drone, electro-tunes. I never used to be a fan of such music (drone/ambient), but I find that it invokes thought. For me, it acts like a tour guide to introspection. It's there, it provides a background and a general idea if you will for long contemplation. Not that you don't pay attention to the music and its intricacies, for it does not act like background music for some coffee lounge or anything like that. I now value it equally with music that has a more traditional structure.

My favorite track is number 7, panspermia holizon.

A little dose of Shaun Thompson and Mark Richards

Vintage Joint: Philamore Lincoln

A psych-folk release from 1970 (a fine year for such music). Amazing stuff. Yet another criminally over-looked record.

theres a three eyed wolf with devil horns howling at the moon, id roll a joint with the shake i found but my mom wont leave me alone. my girl made apple butter cinnamon pancakes this morning:

Maston - Young Hearts

Check this cool tune out. Allmusic says "Influenced by Van Dyke Parks, the Beach Boys, Ennio Morricone and Burt Bacharach, but with a spooky late-60s Psych undercurrent and plenty of Nilsson-esque songcraft"

Something I drew and painted

Sleeping Loops - Summer Loops

A dude from Long Island, NY who I presume loves both the beach and Real Estate's first album A LOT made this super awesome record. It's mellow, hazy, relaxed, calm, laid back, slightly sleepy stoner-ish beach mellowness. He has 3 records on Bandcamp and they are all free! What a nice dude. Keep'em comin'.

Tame Impala - Endors Toi/Mind Mischeif

Yea more Tame Impala because it's my blog and I fucking said so.

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way/It's About That Time

This is my favorite Miles tune that I've ever heard. So is the other track on this album, "Shhhh...Peaceful". Both clock in around the 20 minute mark. If this is your first foray into jazz then I wouldn't recommend this song, try Davis' "Kind of Blue", Dave Brubeck's 1961 album, or Oliver Nelson's "Stolen Moments". HOWEVER!, if you stumble across The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions (on certain websites that offer files for less one cent, wink wink) which spans 3 or 4 albums and has varied song lengths for those who find long songs difficult, get it! Enough rambling.

The Dolly Rocker Movement - The Ecstacy Once Told

Awhile back I posted the perfect song by Ennio Morricone "The Ecstacy of Gold". This is The Dolly Rocker Movement's take on that song. Its in the same vein as The Amazing's take on "The Sunny Side of Heaven" written by Danny Kirwan for Fleetwood Mac, named "The Kirwan Song". Good stuff. From the album "Our Days Mind The Tyme"

Cocos Lovers - Feral and Wild

One word: Hippie.

Clive Tanaka y su Orquesta

Danceable, tropical, dream pop synth tunes. Off the album "Jet Set Siempre No. 1"
