The Ventures- “He Never Came Back”. One of my favorite songs EVER
Ennio Morricone- “Il Mercenario”. Getting hyped about my upcoming trip to Italy, so naturally I have been listening to a lot of one of its greatest composers…
Vampire Weekend- “Diane Young”. From Bruce Springstein to Kanye West, these guys have a way of fusing so many genres to make something undeniably infectious every time. And this time they outdid even themselves. This is a must listen…
Daughn Gibson- “Dandelions”. Interstate love songs, noir country…post country? The Frank Ocean of alt-country? All I’m trying to say is this guy is my new man-crush in a genre that I otherwise don’t normally listen to.
happy mother’s day from 2Pac!
Thee Oh Sees- “Toe Cutter- Thumb Buster.” Grungy psychedelic rock with hints of comedy and horror. Check out their crazy new video…

Temples- “Prisms”. If Sgt. Pepper’s had come out today, there’s a pretty good chance it would sound like this… Thank you to my friend, Stephanie, for finding this gem for me!

Jim James ACL Vine
The Haxan Cloak- “Excavation (Part 2)”. Haunting drone music with killer bass that guides you through the journey taken after death…A real nice, cheerful tune for your friday afternoon ;)
Harry Fraud- “Yacht Lash ft. Earl Sweatshirt and Riff Raff”. Earl kills it and Riff Raff is, well, Riff Raff on this over the top banger. Free download here:

another hilarious video with Steve Buscemi and Vampire Weekend. These are all so good!
Mark Lanegan- “The River Rise”. Because Mark Lanegan is one of the greatest American musicians you’ve never heard of. Definitely one of the last of the grunge era that’s still making good music today.
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats- “I’m Here To Kill You”. It’s like Paul McCartney made an album with Black Sabbath, and threw a wicked guitar solo in every song. Catchy riffs and dark lyrics, no additives or preservatives, this album rocks from start to finish.
Check out this hilariously awkward promo video for Vampire Weekend’s live stream of their April 26th performance at NYC’s Roseland Ballroom for the American Express Unstaged series
Black Tambourine- “For Ex-Lovers Only”. Early 90’s indie pop that almost every indie chick band alive today wishes they were…
