“float on” is probably one of the most polarizing tracks in modest mouse’s catalog, due in large to it’s commercial success. i’m not a fan of blackbird blackbird, but after hearing their cover of said song, i couldn’t help myself from posting. enjoy.

i’ve yet to listen to anything else from the as-of-now p4′d new album from best coast but this tune is surely in a shoo-in for top 10 jam of the summer.

you may or may not know jarrod gorbel, the former lead singer of the now-defunct band the honorary title. though their output was very hit and miss for me, everything i’ve heard from gorbel’s forthcoming solo debut seems promising enough to comment on. you can check out “ten years older” the highlight from what i’ve heard so far, and then check out an exclusive stream of the much more accessible “i’ll do better” here.

mp3// ten years older

i’ve been smashing myself over the head for the past few weeks for not listening to she & him sooner, and then soothing my headaches by blasting volume II on all my sunlit car rides through town. check out one of my favorite songs from the disc “don’t look back” in a live performance w/ craig ferguson

i’d be lying if i said i’ve REALLY been listening to anything other than oceana’s clean head ep for the last 2 weeks. though their “rise-recordcore” status always kept me from listening to them in the past (i still can’t stand anything else from their back-catalog) this EP is a complete retooling on the bands sound. “joy” the EP’s fourth and last track is a touching and fitting closer, building through hopeful choruses into it’s glimmering end. for those of you out there still trying to find a band to fill the void left by the break up of as cities burn, give the clean head EP a shot. you might be surprised.
mp3// joy
