Other Lives and Indians at Music Hall of Williamsburg 11/29/12

Amazing show last night as newly signed 4AD artist and up and comer, Indians took the stage with a beautiful mixed set of acoustic and electronic tunes, followed by the full on classic-rock-merges-with-modern-rock sound of Other Lives. I snapped a few pictures but as usual they do the sound no justice.

Other Lives:

Jesse Boykins III and MeLo-X - “Black Orpheus” Video

This LP has caused quite a debate with some music friends. Some love it, some hate it. Get a hint of what the album Zulu Guru sounds like with the video for "Black Orpheus" and then check out the whole album by Jesse Boykins III and MeLo-X.

Boston Bun - "Housecall"

This is pretty awesome. Great video too. Enjoy Boston Bun and "Housecall"

Local Natives - "Breakers" Video

How bout a new Local Natives video?:

Wildcat! Wildcat! - "Mr. Quiche" Video

Cool tune by what could be a cool band. Digging what I hear from Wildcat! Wildcat! so far.

Darwin Deez - "Free (The Editorial Me)" Video

Not sure how to feel about the new Darwin Deez. Anyone think that lightening can strike twice?

Angel Haze - "Love Of My Life" Video

Been some really decent hip hop out there as of late. Angel Haze looks to be hopping on that train with Joey Bada$$. Check out her new video for "Love of My Life".

Radiation City "Hide From the Night" Video

A new video for Radiation City tune, "Hide From the Night".

Pools - "Chlorine Cologne"

Here is the other track that I have been listening to this weekend as promised. Check out Pools. Looking forward to more from this label, Spills.

Miguel - "The Thrill" Yours Truly

The energy and passion is one of the things that makes Miguel so awesome. Check it out on Your Truly.

Jeedo - "Make it Boom"

Been listening to this cool as hell track from Jeedo all weekend. And I will also share another similar artist later. Great stuff and can't wait to hear more.

The Sword - "The Veil of Isis" Video

The Sword and a weird new video for a killer track. Enjoy, "The Veil of Isis" below.

Mikky Ekko - "Pull Me Down" Video

A cool new track and video by Mikky Ekko to start the weekend off.

The Sword at Webster Hall 11/14/12

Amazing night at Webster Hall last night. The Sword just about ripped the roof of the place with their Sabbath-esque rock. It's only a matter of time before they are playing arenas (if we can rewind 20 years and they are already there, maybe). Here are some photos from the show that give no justice to the sound.

Beach House - "Wild" Video

Always nice to hear a Beach House song. Check out the video for "Wild".

George Ezra - "Over the Creek" (acoustic)

Woah! Really cool stuff that I stumbled on via a friend. Check out George Ezra below.

Wild Belle "Keep You'" Video

An interesting new video from Wild Belle.

Alt-J "Buffalo"

One of our favorite albums from this year is from Alt-J.  Check out a new song featuring Mountain Man  from the soundtrack from the upcoming Silver Lining Playbook (which was actually filmed in my hometown of Delaware County, PA).  

The National Rifle at Cake Shop this Friday

Ya'll, the National Rifle LP that comes out in early 2013 is awesome.   Seriously, good work.  Take my word for it or just press play for a preview of the song "Coke Beat" which has been in my head for weeks.

Better yet, they are playing Cake Shop at 152 Ludlow Street on the LES  this Friday and previewing the entire album.  Gotta get there, NYC.

Purity Ring - "Lofticries" Video

Cool new video from a band that may make a number of year end lists when they start in a few weeks. Wait and see if Purity Ring is on our year end best of list and watch "Lofticries" now.

Wife - "Trials" Video

Getting more and more excited to get my hands on a Wife LP.  Check out "Trials" below.  Love the creepy website too.

oOoOO at Glasslands 11/08/12

Awesome show last night at Glasslands in Williamsburg.  oOoOO  played a dark and deep set of his witch-house sounds that satiated a crowd who only wanted to move. oOoOO, himself kept his heads down and let the music do the talking.  And talk it did.  I snapped a few photos that I thought you would enjoy.  But you must check out oOoOO on soundcloud below if you haven't yet.  Then I guarantee you'll want to check him out next time he performs.

Wife - "Bodies" Video

Killer tune from an Irish black metal doing cool, flowing, dark electronic. He goes by Wife. Dig into the song   "Bodies" but enjoy the wild video as well.

The Weeknd - "The Zone" feat. Drake Video

The Weeknd working with Drake. Remember when everyone was like, "who is this dude?" Now everyone know.

Bullion - Love Me Oh Please Love Me

Been digging this Bullion EP.  Hoping to hear more from this guy.

Crybaby - "I Cherish The Heartbreak" Mahogany Session

Finding something interesting in the stories and vocals of Crybaby. Check him out playing on a dirt road.

Shilpa Ray - "Nocturnal Emissions" Video

Cool new video by the one and only Shilpa Ray. Enjoy a world where women decide on men's reproductive rights. Sound as silly as the opposite which happens daily. "Nocturnal Emissions" is below.
