While I didn’t attend Coachella this year, I did see Radiohead play in San Jose, California before they headed down to Indio for the festival. The set I saw was mind blowing. Below is their set from Coachella 2012.
Music discovery.

I saw the punch brothers at the somerville theater a couple weeks ago. Their new album is awesome. Here’s a good recording of one of their new songs off of “Who’s Feeling Young Now?”
Matt and I went to the Banff film festival last night and there was a kayaking segment that had this song it.
Apparently we were all too busy in October to post anything to this amazing site. So im sneaking one into November so we dont look like slackers. I love finding gems on the internet, enjoy the space!
The Ting Tings – Silence (Bag Raiders Remix)
Who doesn’t like the Twelves… if you don’t know them you should get your dancing shoes on and maybe clean your house to this shit. These guys really get the guitar riff and use it like masters. Mixed with some amazing electronic keys, I can always feel what these guys are throwing down. GET DOWN ON IT.
Watch these guys get down and show you how its done!
This track is by far my favorite, the build is explosive leading to this amazing breakdown! Enjoy those little funky twists of the keys in there. Wait for it…..
BASS LINE BUMPING on this track
ENJOY
2 great songs put together so well that it almost seems it was made that way.

After listening to some of the tracks on my Booka Shade post, Night Falls in particular reminded me of The New Deal. If you get a chance to see them live, you should make every effort to, as 2011 will be the last year as a band. A few favorites to for your listening pleasure.

I’ve known of Booka Shade for a while. I have listened to a couple of tracks here and there but never got them to stick. I even passed up seeing them at a show at the Independent a few blocks away from my place. All until I was experimenting with some Genius mixes this weekend and a few of their tracks came up. Perhaps I always passed them up for more active beats and melodies, but as I dive in I’m coming to the realization that this German duo can deliver energy and movement, just at their own, sometimes weird, pace. Maybe weird is a bad word – let’s say unique.
A testament to their talent, they’ve even had a DJ-Kicks release.
I’m still acquainting myself with these veterans of the Frankfurt electronic scene. I’ve read that their latest album is more aligned with club music – it’ll be interesting to unravel this progression, especially given the tracks below which come off their earlier albums.

Sometimes I feel that finding music that excites me is hard. I search and search, looking for the best of the best, something that pops. But then I hear an older track screaming out my radio getting me all excited again and im reminded “go back to that guy, hes prob got something new or old you haven’t heard” Well this post is all about my original find of Just Some Kid. Hes an amazing DJ, blending the best mix of music into a web of fantastical ear food.
This first track I found on Feelmybicep a while back and it really hit the spot.

This one is so far my fave, but feel free to get over to his soundcloud. Make sure you keep your ears open for shows with this guy spinning. It will be an amazing dance-fest.
