Really getting into The Men's album, Open Your Heart. Particularly digging this track at the moment. Easily song of the day from album of the week. So bummed that I missed them down at SXSW this year.
Just some late-night-jamming. One of my favorite dirty songs of all time. And you gotta love those blown-out keys.

Not sure how he does it, but Bill Callahan has consistently put out beautiful music.
The new album of his is no exception to that trend.

As a part of the ongoing Imaginary Soundtracks series,I present to you my favorite Emitt "the one man Beatles" Rhodes song, ever. I'll get this in a film or some project someday, I guarantee.
I was at SXSW for the full 10 day extravaganza, came back and almost immediately came down with a burly sinus cold.
Finally feeling human again, I still intend to post a kind of SXSW wrap-up, but in the meantime, I came across a great little pop song from the band Princeton,
and the vibe is just hitting so right at the moment that I wanted to share it right away:
Met these guys down in Austin in an alley behind the venue where the Carpark showcase was taking place.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see them play that night, which is a bummer, not only because I have a soft-spot for fellow midwesterners (they're from Chicago, me, Milwaukee) but because the more I listen to the promo of this album, I wished I would've seen them then before they get too big, which could be a likely scenario, given the quality of this release.
Look for it out on Carpark in June.
Also to note, I wanted to post the second song (Oh, Ivory!) but after doing some nosing around on the web, I saw that it hadn't been posted/leaked yet and so I didn't feel right letting that one out yet, in respect of the band and label.
So in the meantime, give a gander to this track, the first song on the record and one I also dig.
Also, don't forget to go out and support your local independent record stores on Saturday.
It's Record Store Day!
Lots of rad exclusives and in-store performances.

Fuzzy, jangle-y, janky pop music from an Austin three-piece.
Their album "Hippies" just came out last week on good ol' Matador.
Fun times.

The first time I ever saw The Dodos was a few years back at Todd P's party at SXSW.
It was one of those times where you just stumble in not expecting anything in particular and then walk out blown away. This is my favorite track so far off their new "Time To Die" album:
