Rhye - Right Never Comes

So this love grows 

Ariana Grande - Love Me Harder (ft. The Weeknd)

Unexpectedly, this has rocketed to new favorite jam status after seeing the SNL performance.

Jamie N Commons x Ambassadors - Stay With Me (cover)

If you ever wanted to hear "Stay With Me" sung a few octaves lower than Sam Smith's original version, this is the jam for you.

Sir Sly - You Haunt Me

Whiskey and wine, night after night, you haunt me.

The Barr Brothers - Half Crazy

The Barr Brothers are taking things in a different direction with this song but still incorporating the harp. It makes for an interesting and unexpected listen.

The description for this song is one worth knowing about. The soundcloud description reads:
"This song, Half-Crazy, could be described as the tenacious offspring of the North African desert music of Mali/Morocco and the sweat and electricity of the Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues. That music is like a stem-cell, really open to going in many directions. On this track, we wired the harp through a dirty little amplifier. I played my early 40's Oahu lap-steel. Andrew uses a loping high-hat feel, and the electric bass pushes the whole thing. The lyrics got a nudge from our friend Nathan Moore--we're all half-crazy, half clear as a bell."

Shakey Graves - Dearly Departed

Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange.

With

Vance Joy - Mess is Mine

Bipolar Sunshine - Love More Worry Less

Title says it all.

Say Lou Lou - Peppermint

I still feel your kisses burn with peppermint

Bang Bang Bang - Shake Shake Shimmy

So shut up and leave the blues for when I'm gone.

The Kooks - Around Town

"I need someone to love me when the chips are down." 

Shana & The Hooligans - Get Gone

Summer Jam status. Handclaps!
 

How Sad - It Is What It Is (Blood Orange Cover)

Melaena Cadiz - Swinging Low

We're swinging low and I'm afraid we can't stop. 

Say it like you mean it, 

say it fast and low, 

say it sweet and tender 

and you can let me go.

Agnes Obel - Aventine

There's something a little Enya-ish about this track, but it's enchanting none the less.

Vacationer - The Wild Life

Summer vibes forever.

PAPA - I'm Not Sorry

Wild Party - When I Get Older

"When I get older, I'm going to be there to hold her."

Those Darlins - Oh God

You said, "Oh God, what have I done?"

You can get the new album, Blur the Lines, now. And you should.

Liz Lawrence - Health and Safety

After listening to Liz Lawrence's and Allman Brown's duet "Sons & Daughters" approximately 100 times in the last week, I was happy to see a new Liz Lawrence song/video show up in the inbox.

Hold On To Your Heart

The only mix I've been good at making regularly has been my Valentine's day one that usually includes favorite songs from the past year that I send out to friends. Since I've been so M.I.A. I figured I'd share it here too. Enjoy. Happy Valentine's Day.

Bear's Den - Hold On, We're Going Home (Drake Cover)

I will never tire of this song. This is a nice indie-ified cover by Bear's Den. Enjoy

Allman Brown & Liz Lawrence - Sons and Daughters

Those quiet hours turn into years.

Ha Ha Tonka and The Moondoggies

Granted I've been out of the music game for quite a while, so maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like Ha Ha Tonka's and The Moondoggies' 2013 album releases went shamefully unnoticed. I can't get enough of either of them and they compliment each other well. I'd love to see the two bands tour together. Have a listen.

Video of Ha Ha Tonka - Dead to the World (my favorite)

Happy jamsicle for sunny days.

 

"you've got your heart set on anywhere but here."

Jenny Lewis - Completely Not Me

I've been completely obsessed with this one...

Max Frost - Suspended Animation

MØ - Don't Wanna Dance

I don't want to dance with nobody but you

Nick Mulvey - Cucurucu

"My heart beats with a ceaseless yearning to belong. Singing Cucurucu."
