Bleached - Think of You
Bands have been making music like this FOREVER. The trick is to make something so done and done again sound compelling again. And for achieving that, Bleached gets tons of points.
This video from Congolese musician Baloji is the most beautiful, amazing and weird thing I have seen in awhile. Great, great, great.
Honestly? I’m not the biggest fan of Colourmusic’s songs. But I could listen to this one on repeat for days. I have been, actually.
Colourmusic — “Tog”
We all agree this is awesome, right? Because it’s awesome. I mean, who’s doing updated Neneh Cherry? No one.
Friends: I’m His Girl
There is something about this song that just blows me away.
Blouse - “Videotapes”
That’s it. The Bots are my favorite new prepubescent punk band of the day. I seriously LOVE these kids.
Isn’t Penny & The Quarters just a great name for a group that sounds like this? Ahhhh! This song just *kills* me.
Penny & The Quarters - “You and Me”
(Also, the mystery of who these people were was just solved, too. Here.)
Easy Lover in the latest issue of Storychord
The awesome Storychord (which “features one story, one image, and a one-song “soundtrack” — each by underexposed talent” each issue) featured Easy Lover’s “End of the Season” in their latest! Please check it out here!

Marnie Stern is very, very funny and totally endearing. Every interview should be this worth watching.
