I was looking for your heart through the flowers in the park.

I snoozed on this Cotton Jones album last year, for no other reason than that I simply lost track of the fact that it ever came out.
Now I'm revisiting it and finding it to be absolutely lovely.
Fans of Lee Hazelwood, M. Ward, Fleet Foxes, Tim Buckley, Merle Haggard, Bon Iver, etc. may want to give this a listen.

Suburban dogs are in love with their chains.

It may have made Pitchfork's #20 on Top Albums of 2009, but also I've got a friend who absolutely hates this album.
That said, I personally have to say I dig it.

They'll be playing a free show at the Brooklyn Bowl tonight.
Have a listen and decide for yourself.

What do you want to see, what did you want to be, when you grew up?

Seeing my friend Hallie, among many things, makes me think of happy, somewhat-tinged-with-melancholy, dreamy music.
The new Atlas Sound album is full of that, in spades.
Especially this track featuring Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear.

One of my favorite records of the year. Easily.
Big fan of Bradford Cox's music.
And have a listen to his Micromixes.

I get lost in them on subway rides all the time.
