Reigning Sound had an album come out a year ago. Wax Fang has one coming out soon, and the Bees just released the video for their new totally awesome single, hosted at the Guardian. Each of their album seems to re-create some genre of music in the style of 60′s psychedelic pop. Their 2002 release Sunshine Hit Me was Merriweather Post Pavilion before Animal Collective even dreamed of making the album. And it’s 10x better. Their 2005 release Free the Bees is perhaps the ultimate summer record, no matter how much Pitchfork shits on it, and applies the spin to classic garage rock. 2007′s Octopus brought the funk. And now, their latest release set to drop sometime soon, though I don’t know when, and by all accounts it’s got a heavy folk infusion.
Posts are going to become more and more infrequent -- I’ve got one more final on 7/29, then the MPRE on 8/6 followed by my bachelor party. In the mean time, enjoy some of the tunes I’ve been rocking out to while studying and when not listening to Secret Agent Radio over at Somafm (that link will open up a stream in your preferred media player, be forewarned).
Sleepy Sun -- Sandstorm Woman
A heady mix of spaced out ass shit, sometimes with harmonica. Bad ass
Marco Benevento Trio -- RISD
I think my favorite part about watching Benevento play is that he always looks like he’s having a blast on stage. This song looks as fun to play as it is to listen to.
Tame Impala -- Alter Ego
It’s sort of like if you mixed Daft Punk with Wellwater Conspiracy. Either way, just listening to it gets you a little ripped I think.
Wax Fang -- Majestic
The one band I need to see live more than anyone else, save MMJ. I only know of them tanks to the fine people over on the MMJ boards and the band themselves for playing some dates with them. But goddamn, what an amazing band
A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES TO THE BLIND WOULD BE AWFUL MAJESTIC.
IT WOULD BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THAT THEY EVER HAD SEEN.
Dr. Dog -- Where’d All the Time Go
Perhaps one of the greatest songs in the past 5 years. The Album still holds strong as the best of the year
This site is run for shits and giggles. It's my less serious, unprofessional side, and should not be construed as such. In fact, as much as HR departments are shocked to discover, people are typically much more reserved when at work and do not carry on in a professional demeanor when not at work. This is one of those times. If you want my more professional self, check out Folk Demon Dot Com
