I haven't

Got anything important to talk about. So I think I will just ramble.

I'm extremely excited for Julian Casablancas new album to come out on the 3rd! If you don't know he is the lead singer of The Strokes and while they were on their musical hiatus he decided to write an album. From what I've heard so far it is very 80's driven and I LIKE THAT! Besides the artwork for it is awesome. Here are some promos:





Other than that I guess I will share some music that I can't get enough of lately:

1. Camera Obscura-French Navy
2. Camera Obscura-The Sweetest Thing
3. Julian Casablancas-11th Dimension
4. Mayer Hawthorne-Just Ain't Gonna Work
5. Mayer Hawthorne-Make Her Mine
6. Sparklehorse-Little Girl (feat. Julian Casablancas)
7. Stars-This Charming Man
8. Weezer-Run Over By A Truck
9. Wu-tang-What's happening ft. Busta Rhymes
10. Felt-Woman tonight
11. John Legend-Slow dance

If you're going to check out anybody check out Mayer Hawthorne. He is this white boy from Ann Arbor who was a DJ for 12 years and then started writing soul, influenced by music his dad used to play in the car when he was a kid. He sounds like he could be Curtis Mayfields love child and I'm pretty jealous of his whole album "A Strange Arrangement" .
