Juncture

From their latest album. Some may disagree, but I think they sound better and better with each release. 

Warm weather here in SF makes it feel like summer's here early!

Not sure how I missed this...  but she has a new album coming out next month. Better late than never!

Best rock album, from beginning to end, that I've heard in a couple of years.

Tweedy - World Away

For some reason, everyone is hating on the new Black Keys album. I, on the other hand, am totally into it. I guess it doesn't help that one of the weaker songs is the first single ('Fever'). But in my opinion, Turn Blue is one of their more soulful efforts. I guess if the internet had its way, the Black Keys would stay a two-man blues-rock group playing midwest garages forever. 

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Houston Hades

Chill out: What You See is What You Get by LAKE

Don't Move - Phantogram

Queens of the Stone Age - If I Had A Tail

INSTEAD - check out the Lenno remix (so so dope) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imBjPYTD7uw

Feels like a seamless melding of Thom Yorke's Eraser and most recent Radiohead work.  Also it's now impossible for me to listen to his songs and not imagine him dancing around (see also: Ingenue).

I used to listen to Squarepusher in undergrad, and I’ve come back to it in a major way with my morning commute on public transit.  This song is from the new album ‘Ufabulum.’

Another one of those electropop "amazing songs with a terrible name" that builds into an incredibly infectious breaksy beat. 2:18 is the jumpoff. New favorite swedish dj duo for sure. 

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us (Live on KEXP)

Incredible writing paired with a catchy, down-home rhythmic feel. Hilarious and incredibly relatable to us Los Angelenos
