Kurt Vile - In My Time
I must have been higher than a damn kite to forget this amazing song on my ‘Best Of’ list… and, really, the whole of Smoke Ring For My Halo is stunningly good, too.
So I shall place myself before the music gods & await my punishment for letting this talented soul slip through my list-making fingers.
‘Best Of’ all the way, kids.
Le Trio Joubran - Nawwar
When music is this good, liking it is like breathing - oh so easy to do.
Fantastic.
‘Best Of’.
Smoke Fairies - Hotel Room
Evocative, old-school-folk-like UK blues? Yeah, maybe that’s it… I don’t fully know where to put them, but I damn well know that I like them.
Through Low Light And Trees was officially released here in the States in June of this year & it has been a welcomed addition to my music library.
You need more: Smoke Fairies - Summer Fades <—The above is grand but this is even better!
Woods - Any Other Day
A comment on YouTube pretty much sums up my feelings whenever I listen to this song:
Am I having a flashback to 1967?….yes I am!
Totally agree in all the best ways.
‘Best Of’.
Ms. Dynamite - Neva Soft
While her third studio album will not be hitting shelves until an undetermined date in 2012, this single was dropped in August of this year - to which I say ‘yay!’
Still as sharp as ever with her lyrics & flow, very glad to see this artist returning to the forefront.
‘Best Of’.
Do you remember? Because I do: Ms. Dynamite It Takes More
Mayer Hawthorne - A Long Time
Ain’t nobody got moves like that anymore… ;)
Anyway. I dig on soul/R&B music, but it is usually of the ‘old’ variety - not so much the new. But this track is smooth - like butter - and such a jam.
You gotta love it.
‘Best Of’.
The Antlers - Corsicana
There is something so haunting about this song, as if it were the end of the world and there are only seconds left…
It’s beautiful.
‘Best Of’.
Total Slacker - Thyme Traveling High School Dropout
It’s nothing revolutionary. And I can agree that a whole album of random references paired up with some fuzzed-out guitars might not be worth multiple replays (P4 opinion)… But this song right here?
I play it more often than I don’t.
Because sometimes heavy thinking is not what I am in the mood for.
‘Best Of’.

Matt Pond PA - Love To Get Used
I’ve always been a bit of a fan of Matt Pond PA, from way back in my early internet days (when I didn’t have an iPod, didn’t know about blogs and would stumble into music like a lost tourist).
He’s got this sound that I cannot identify with regular genre-labels. All I know is that when I hear his voice & his particular sound, I remember hours upon hours of work out in the hot sun with a billion burned cds in my truck - and I suppose the passing of time does this… but I recall those days with fondness.
He’s got a true-blue WNCW vibe. And I’ll always love that vibe.
‘Best Of’.
Lia Ices - New Myth
One of the most underrated releases of the year, Grown Unknown is a masterpiece of avant-pop (sweeping music & ethereal vocals & like a fairy tale spinning out in your ears).
‘Best Of’.
