Coconut Records - Back to You

Weird how Rivers Cuomo keeps putting out albums but Jason Schwartzman made the best Weezer song of the past 5 years.

Princess Reason - Always Pretty

I can’t say enough good things about Tricot Records except that it is where all the good music has gone these days, I was wondering, but now I figured it out, the secret is out there, how do sentences end

The Emotions - Best of My Love

Everyone’s hopped up on Daft Punk right now.

I’ll get to it, don’t get me wrong. I’m just grooving to this at the moment.

Can’t touch a classic.

Sunset Theme - Front Seat

I’ve been scouring Bandcamp tags for the best obscure music and I finally got something great. Apparently this is a cassette-only release from some tiny Maryland label. It rules.

Synesthesia - Andrew McMahon

Andrew McMahon, of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, has been a constant music presence in my life since middle school. This week, he released his first solo EP, The Pop Underground. He never disappoints me.

Chance the Rapper - Favorite Song (feat. Childish Gambino)

Man, I slept on Chance the Rapper for, like, a day. Retrospectively, worst day of my life.

And, yo, Gambino’s gotten fucking GOOD y’all.

Daft Punk - Get Lucky

If you haven’t heard this by now, stop right now and catch up with everyone else!

I thought this song was perfectly mediocre the first two or three times I listened. Then, on the next play, it became one of the best songs I’ve heard in years. Listen to it twice. Three times!

Norman Connors-You Are My Starship

One of my favorite memories is driving my 1999 Chevy Malibu from a party in the Victorian Village to my house in Clintonville alone, and I decided to take Riverside Dr. because it was 3AM, it was the middle of July, I had spent a good half hour at this party casually talking to and aimlessly kissing this unfairly stunning girl who I never saw again after that night, and it was the perfect temperature to drive with all the windows down while going 45 MPH.

As soon as I hit Riverside this song song came on the now defunct Magic 98.8…Classic Soul and R&B.

I probably had the most ridiculous smile on my face as the summer breeze and this song carried me home. Gotta love Columbus, OH in the summer.

Tame Impala - Runways, Houses, Cities, Clouds

This has been rolling around my mind all day… finally gave in and blared it full-volume/windows down on the way home. Which led to blaring it full-volume/windows down at home.

Which led to listening to it (especially the back 4 minutes) while clicking to different parts of The Endless Summer on Netflix.

Tame Impala and 60’s surf docs, y’all.

My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday

I went through my entire music library yesterday and rediscovered some classics.

This song is amazing. I don’t know why I forget it exists sometimes.

The Postal Service - Brand New Colony

Oh man, somebody mentioned The Postal Service tonight, and I instantly fell down a hole of nostalgia.

“I’ll be your platform shoes, undo what heredity’s done to you, you won’t have to stretch to look into my eyes.”

The best lyric on the album, you guys.

Gui Boratto - Beautiful Life

Sometimes I need to hear this song. Now isn’t necessarily one of them, just sometimes I do.

I need to hear it when it’s newly spring. I need to hear it when I’ve had an awful day. I need to hear it when I’ve had an amazing day. I need to hear it when I’m just not sure. I need this song.

“What a beautiful life. What a beautiful world.”

I know that those are the words, and they’re perfect, but sometimes I mishear them as “What a beautiful life. What a beautiful girl.”

Is that wonderful too? God, it twists my heart into knots.

I like that my brain tricks me into that sometimes.

“I can see lights. I can feel love. I can see the sun.”

Love you guys. Spring’s just around the corner.

Every birthday wish I’ve made since seeing this video is to be as cool as this guy around the 1:52 mark.

He is so fucking cool.
