Late night jam

"Coming home after a Friday night out with friends" should have this track included on the soundtrack.

Kings of Leon - Knocked Up (remix)

[also, thanks AT for the Chromatics]

Rainy Day Music

It's been raining for a solid 24 hours in Los Angeles. It never rains in LA, once or twice a year it seems. This extended rain has me realizing how nice it is sometimes to sit inside while it rains and listen to music. I've just stumbled onto this guy Bon Iver even though his CD is on all types of people's best albums of the year lists.

Bon Iver - Blood Bank

Currently providing inspiration...

School of Seven Bells - Connjur

This is my new favorite song of the last couple weeks. There's lushness in the arrangement and the electronic sounds build and build but maintain a subdued feel. They are playing a concert here at the Music Box with M83 on Saturday after Thanksgiving. See you there?

Saturday Soul

Its overcast and cool in LA today. A melancholy mist hangs over the Hollywood Hills. Its a perfect day for songs like this.

I Got The - Labi Siffre

Some of you may recognize a familiar sample from the middle of the song. If so, kudos.

Morning Funk

A little something different to get people moving.

Wake Up - Hamilton Bohannon

Hamilton was from Atlanta, worked for Stevie Wonder, produced a bunch of Motown artists in Detroit and laid down some good stuff in this track existing somewhere between Funk, Soul and Disco, but also decidedly 80's. If the music moves you, you can find his greatest hits here. If you're really feeling this song, its from the 1983 album "The Bohannon Drive."
