A big thank you to Local Natives for making Thursday a little better! Check out their new track "Breakers" from their upcoming LP, Hummingbird, due 01/29/13.

Grizzly Bear - "Yet Again" Video

Here's a band for years that I have been trying to love but I still only use them for background music. I've seen them live and that won me over a little but it wasn't sustainable. I gave up soon after. Giving the new LP another spin this morning and wondering, what am I missing? Why do people fall so hard for Grizzly Bear? Anyway, watch "Yet Again" below, 'cause you know that you are "supposed to" love these dudes.

Jens Lekman - "Become Someone Else's" Video

The new Jens Lekman has quietly moved into the heavy rotation of my Rdio account. It's a damn good record. Jens does not misstep in my estimation. Check out the new video from I Know What Love Isn't, "Become Someone Else's".
