The Wrens - Everyone Choose Sides
“You know when you really really like a band or a person, and you think of them in the highest possible regard, so if/when you find out they’re really assholes, it crushes your soul and makes you reconsider everything you hold dear. For those who are fans of the critically acclaimed New Jersey band, The Wrens, you need not worry. Not only are they not assholes, they turned out to be the nicest most genuine people I have met in a very long time (and incredible musicians). How nice you ask? Well nice enough to find time between two sold out Chicago shows to stop by a fan’s apartment and give him one of the most amazing experiences of his young life. That fan was me… And the experience was seeing my favorite band (seriously, I am not just saying that) play an acoustic version of my favorite song using my family’s guitars. and in a bind for a percussion instrument, the drummer, Jerry, utilized of all things one of my favorite breakfast foods. All of this took place in the living room of my Chicago apartment, and it was a surreal experience, one that we captured on film, so without further ado, THE WRENS LIVE AT BRENDAN’S!”
This is how you know when the love you give a band is completely justified.

Talking Heads - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
One of the best songs of all time. I just decided to play this at a party I’m DJ-ing. I don’t really care if it’s a hit, because I’ll be dancing and singing the whole time.
This post was inspired by an incredible cover video Matthew Perpetua brought to my attention.

13 & God - Afterclap
This song doesn’t really reflect my current mood or even represent what I’ve been listening to a lot lately. it just popped into my head, and I needed to listen to it.
I think this may be the only album that ever came out of Anticon that I actually love more than one track. It’s a really solid album the whole way through.
It’s a collabo between Themselves and The Notwist.
