M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming November 29, 2011
M83′s latest album, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming is the perfect soundtrack for snowboarding.

GOTYE – “Somebody That I Used To Know” September 12, 2011
I think this song is great, but what’s with the music video? I think music artists can let their artistic side get the best of them when it comes to creating videos to accompany songs. Then again, I don’t really appreciate music videos as most fans do. They just don’t appeal to me more than [...] Read More…

HOLY GHOST! – “Wait & See” May 4, 2011
This funky little jam is fantastically retro, undeniably catchy, and the video is awesome. Holy Ghost! uses their own fathers to play the band members, it’s pretty hilarious. If you like this track, you will no doubt love the rest of the self-titled debut album which was released last month via DFA. Don’t stop til you [...] Read More…
