You Need to Hear This Remix by That’s Nice

I swear, I will never fully understand how my morale can go from 0 to 60 in a heartbeat and all it takes is a well-placed bass line and funky guitar riff.

Thursday Tracks: “Mirror Maru” by Cashmere Cat

“Mirror Maru” got lost somewhere within the realm of Legend of Zelda then somehow became the backing track to a futuristic piano lounge and I am totally about it.

Great Good Fine Ok Kicking Off My Fall With An Incredible Debut EP

You’re just gonna have to accept the potentially mortifying display of dancing you are putting on for the world when you listen to this song. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

NEW MUSIC: “Savior” by Secret Company

Once upon a time, I stumbled across Secret Company, a band of four guys from across the pond, and then proceeded to talk about them again. And again. And again.

Late Night Insomniac Music Series: Rhye

It’s probably a good thing that Rhye has not completely overtaken mainstream radio. I mean honestly, if their album’s lead single “The Fall,” got as much radio play as overplayed top 40 hits do, everybody would be getting pregnant. Everybody. All the time. Non-stop.

SONGS THAT NEED TO BE HEARD: “Violence Out Tonight” by Little Comets

Some songs are purely felt and they refuse to be broken down or dissected. “Violence Out Tonight” is a song that can and should speak for itself.

Arctic Monkeys Took Over My Saturday

There are a lot of reasons to love Arctic Monkeys. Beyond their music, one of my personal favorite reasons is that lead singer Alex Turner is physically incapable of not looking like a 1950’s greaser.

Ones to Watch: Valise

90% of my twitter followers are unsigned bands trying to drum up fans. Today, I extend a huge thank you to Dallas based indie rock band, Valise, for being well worth the digging.

Recent Obsessions: The 1975

For the really great bands, it’s like meeting a singular being, a living entity. With The 1975, it isn’t just the music I had to understand. It was the videos, the songs, the album artwork, the everything. All tied together in one perfect package.

Recent Obsessions: Sleeping With Sirens

It didn’t surprise me that I fell in love with the band Sleeping With Sirens. What did surprise me was just how far and how fast I found (and still find) myself falling for them.
