New Music Video - Chromeo ft. Toro Y Moi "Come Alive"

Chromeo and Toro Y Moi on the same song, brilliant. But I am underwhelmed by both the song and video. Meh, maybe it will grow on me.

These kids are cooler than I ever was at their age, shoot, even at my current age, haha. "Blue Collar Jane" is off their album Snapshot. Find out more about these Irish lads here.

Local Flavor - Black Alley "Bad Girl"

One of the best bands in the DC music scene, especially live. You have to see them if you haven't. Their debut album Soul.Swagger.Rock.Sneakers is available on iTunes.

Throwback Thursday - Stevie Wonder "That Lady"

This is one of my favorite Stevie songs. It's such a throwback, he doesn't even have his signature braids, haha. 

New Music - James Blake "40455"

Honestly, he could sing anything and I would probably like. His voice is just so soulful. "40455" sounds more like an art piece, like it would be in a museum with looping video of a naked chick and a deer staring at each other. Haha, okay, maybe not that. 

New Music ~ Neon Trees "Sleeping With A Friend"

Tyler Glenn, lead singer, said "sonically speaking it's our biggest-sounding song to date." Which is true, but I think there is a lot of restraint here that keeps it from going into that over the top territory. I'm digging it. Check out the song and their Rolling Stone article here.

Throwback Thursday - Mr. Big "To Be With You"

Some drunk person is usually singing this at karaoke. I think I've ignored how well the lead singer can sing, homeboy* got chops.
*I've been saying homeboy a lot lately, not sure why.

New Music - Misun "Nothing Else"

The vocals sound a little off in the beginning. It's a bit underwhelming, which means I'll probably love it after a few more listens.
