Getting my Lee Hazelwood vibes on today via the new duets album from Binki Shapiro & Adam Green. All original songs - pretty solid throughout. Check this gem "If You Want Me To".
Song of the day from album of the week. "Letter of Intent" by Ducktails of their new album, The Flower Lane. It's out next week on Domino. Dreamy stuff.

Just going through all my music from last year to make sure that I haven't missed anything. Came across this Bright Moments album called "Natives" that I remember liking but that had gotten lost in the mix of everything else aliong the way. So I had a relisten and recalled why I dig it. He plays with Beirut and Arcade Fire, among others, which you'll recognize immediately. Check out this track that is titled after my hometown, Milwaukee. Good stuff. This'll make the Top 100 list, for sure.
Happy 2013 all. My top albums of 2012 list is on the way. Hang tight. In the meantime, check out one of the tracks I've been digging for a little while from Foxygen, off their upcoming album, 'We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic'. Called "Shuggie". Here's to great things in 2013.
