tryin something new here. out on the shore and the world is lookin delightful. but can’t say the beauty of the beach makes throwing up a jam a tougher task than you’d take it fer.
but I remembered I found this cover and wasn’t about to leave y’all lackin. hope it’s as good for you as it is for me:
spoon – bring it on home to me (sam cooke cover)
.

hard to even say what there is to say about this.

that said? this song fits the summer like beach sand makes my feets feel good.
so meet aer. two boys by way of wayland, ma. gettin prepped to drop their debut album later this year, they’ll be swingin through our nation’s fair capital for a show at jammin java on july 14. so checker the first single of the upcoming album, and if you’re in, hit the show:

get that sun,
B

at least to a month or two.
think this dude has been pretty clear on his love for RAC and penguin prison. put em together and my world is grand.
had the opp to catch PPriz live at rock n roll hotel a few weeks back, and could not have been any more satisfied. case missed out?
penguin prison comes back through DC, 930 club on july 11 w/ neon trees
and
RAC hits 930 club on july 27 w/ POP ETC
both shows promise to be ah-mah-zing but more on them to come.
for now, enjoy the new video that dropped for pp and rac’s hollywood yesterday:

callin it right here and right now. I’ve always said it. a hit is a hit is a hit.
and this one’s got all the right ingredients.
can’t say this dude’s fallen madly er nothin. but the track’s got the vibe and mechanics for the makin of a summertime smasher. check owl city and flavor of the moment carly rae jesperson on their newest collab. gonna haveta remove your lyrically-critical, sonically-exploratory buds and just try an enjoy yourself:
.
owl city and carly rae jesperson – good time
.
feel a little used,
B
finally! was thinkin through it yesterday. writing can be kinda tough at times. frankly? there just aint a hot track to throw up each and every one of the week. sure this dude does his best. and does a damn fine job if I do say so bout myself, myself. but a musical desert comes and the droughts can seem forever, till you stumble on what is unquestionably one of my summer time favies of the moment.
so say hi again to zak waters. brought you his track, flirt, back in december but been waiting for just the right jam from this unquestionably talented dude before falling for him hard. tnt found its funkiness, but it didn’t move me the way this does. but this one? right here? if it don’t move you you should probably listen again:
.
zak waters – skinny dipping in the deep end
.
the track is available on itunes now, and the album is due out this fall.
and here’s the album preview, with a hot teaser of a brenton woods cover of gimme a little sign:
.
straight up pumped,
B
or at least this dude’s. been hyped on the concept since we threw their lead off tracks up in january. well the band is back with a somewhat more regal name and a new ep and vid to boot.
so re-meet the royal concept. phoenix meets the strokes for lunch with greatness. today, the band is dropping the brand new video for their first single off their debut ep which also drops today on lava and universal republic records. check it below and peep the full ep stream as well. candidly? for me? this album is somethin pretty special. if you think so too, the band’ll be rockin a tweetathon today at 4pm EST to answer all your q’s with a’s. send em your questions @TheRoyalCNCPT with the hashtag #GimmeTwice and tweet with the band live.
.
the royal concept – gimme twice
.
.
on joy,
B
and total credit on this one goes out to el fox.
here at the dudes, we try to bring new insight into your audibles whenever possibles. but its a rare thing when our musical minds are truly blown.
so gonna flip it on you and go backwards for a minute. had no idea daft punk were hot on the sample train, but turns out…
meet edwin birdsong. la-borne son of a preacher man, birdsong played as a studio sessioner for the stevie wonder and has been sampled by the likes of dp and gang starr. tell me if I’m late to the bus here:
.
edwin birdsong – cola bottle baby
.
and the revamp
daft punk – harder, better, faster, stronger
