this is my silent song

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Painless
Mae
The Everglow

mae | “painless”

there was a time (2005) when i listened to this album very frequently. while it isn’t really the type of music i look for these days, i can still play it & enjoy the hell out of it - loads of good musicality & production to be heard.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Horn
Phish
Rift

phish | “horn”

one of my favorite phish songs. the sections from 1:20 through 3:13 blow me away, musically. almost simple, but so complex as they weave through the many key changes with fluidity.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] It Beats 4 U
My Morning Jacket
Z

my morning jacket | “it beats 4 u”

when i’m working & listening to music, sometimes i’ll just stop everything to focus on the song, rocking out in my own way (usually head bobbing & finger tapping). that just happened with this mmj track.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] The Ace is Back
The Stereo Bomb
Now Hear This

the stereo bomb | “the ace is back”

what would you say to single track that features samples of the following:

1. Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz - What U Gon’ Do
2. Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a Place on Earth
3. Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime
4. Kanye West - All Falls Down feat. Syleena Johnson
5. Green Day - Give Me Novocaine
6. The Killers - Mr. Brightside
7. Incubus - Pardon Me
8. Eve - Let Me Blow Ya Mind
9. Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood

11. Dr. Dre - Still D.R.E.
12. Disney’s The Lion King - I Just Can’t Wait to Be King
13. Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We’re Going Down

listen & tell me this isn’t the shit. get the entire mashup album free (in case you’re anti-piracy, don’t worry, they’re giving the album away on their website).

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Apply
Glasser
Ring

glasser | “apply”

because of reasons.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Can't Say No
The Helio Sequence
Keep Your Eyes Ahead

the helio sequence | “can’t say no”

it’s about time for another album, eh boys?

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Hundred Dollars
Punch Brothers
Who's Feeling Young Now?

punch brothers | “hundred dollars”

if you think i’m not about to post most of this album over the next week or so, you’d be wrong.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Kid A
Punch Brothers
Who's Feeling Young Now?

punch brothers | “kid a”

from their new album who’s feeling young now? .. holy shit, guys. as if the entire album wasn’t already fucking spectacular, they threw in this radiohead cover which will leave your mouth gaping & saying only, “wut.”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Neon Bible
Arcade Fire
Neon Bible

arcade fire | “neon bible”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Kaounding Cissko
Toumani Diabate
The Mande Variations

toumani diabate | “kaounding cissko”

if you haven’t heard of diabate, the kora, or malian music, i suggest you give this a try.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Stranger
Dr. Dog
Shame, Shame

dr. dog | “stranger”

finally saw them live last night & they were sick! to think i almost didn’t go just because i didn’t have anyone to go with. eff. so much energy.

public service announcement: if dr. dog is touring anywhere near you on their current tour, get out & see them. tickets are cheap (my ticket was $16 +$3 fee), so you have no excuse!

deerhunter | “helicopter”
