Posted in General Clickable Play-This-List Something For The Weekend

How about a seriously feel good tune for this Friday’s Weekend Tunage? ‘Little Talks’ seems to be the perfect song for today. I’ve been whistling this all week long, it’s the first song I’ve been playing when I wake up every morning and I can’t help but leave the house with a giant grin on [...]

The name Ships may seem familiar – Chris posted about this new Dublin band and their super catchy tune ‘You’re Gonna Feel It’ a few weeks back, and since then a bit more info has been shared with us about the release of the song itself – which it deserves to be shared. Turns out [...]

The Tallest Man On Earth – 1904

Posted in Get Your Gig On Play-This-List

1904 is the newest track from The Tallest Man On Earth. I’ve been a fan of Sweden’s Kristian Matsson ever since The King Of Spain. This track is more of the same folksy goodness from the solo artist, which is not a bad thing in my opinion and I enjoyed listening to it. This new release [...]

Sunday Supplement: The Echo Friendly

Posted in Play-This-List Something For The Weekend

The new HBO show Girls brought me to the discovery of this honest and melancholy song by The Echo Friendly. Jake Rabinbach and Shannon Esper make up the Brooklyn duo, and ‘Same Mistakes’ seems to be the only single that’s been released by them thus far. If you’re in depression mode as tomorrow is Monday [...]

Weekend Tunage: Diagrams

Posted in Something For The Weekend

It’s funny how you can miss the boat with something that’s right under your nose and then when it enters your consciousness you think, how can I have missed that. That’s what happened with Diagrams. I’d been scouring different sources for new tunes and kept skipping an article in a magazine about Diagrams, Sam Genders and [...]

Ms Mr: Hurricane

Posted in Play-This-List

At the start of the month I posted about Ms Mr – a NY boy/girl duo whose music I’ve been crushing on. I’ve been wearing out their debut 4-track EP, wondering when some new tunes were on the horizion. Well the wait is over, as today they premiered their new single ‘Hurricane’ over on Disco [...]

Best Coast – The Only Place

Chris — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:37:41 +0000

Posted in General Clickable

Title track from Best Coast’s second offering here for you. It doesn’t exactly suit the crappy weather today, but what the hell. No change of direction from BC with this album, but rather a step towards being a grown up band. I just read a funny quote in Mojo though that kinda sums up what [...]
