Laugh with me baby… I just want the simple things

March 2, 2014 by MD

It’d been a while since I had heard a song for the first time and within 15 seconds found myself saying “This is incredible. Who IS this??” The latest from Miguel, Simplethings, did exactly that. This song is everything I want out of music, and everything I’m living right now. Soulful vocals, a growling guitar and profound honesty make it the perfect anthem for this very moment. Don’t miss this one. Miguel – Simplethings

Say you a gangsta… That don’t impress me none

June 18, 2013 by MD

In light of this weekend’s trip to Miami with Lu & the crew, I think you should check out Kat Dahlia. Her first single, Gangsta, not only floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee, but it will knock you on your ass quicker than who?* That’s right. Ali. (Muhfuhka.) No really, this one is straight up angsty ecstasy. My favorite opera singer, Barbara Cook, once said “The very place where safety lies for us is the thing that […]

I can be elusive (if you want me to….)

Ellie Goulding’s new song Hanging On (featuring Tinie Tempah) came out yesterday… it’s a pretty cool cover, but not quite changing my life. Ellie Goulding – Hanging On ft. Tinie Tempah (Active Child cover) It’s growing on me, though. Her recent take on the weekend’s High For This definitely got better the third or fourth time around. Ellie Goulding – High For This (the Weeknd cover) I quite like the new(ish… ok I missed it) video for Lights. Click through above***- […]

Take this, don’t look without seeing me…

Kyla La Grange was my favorite musical discovery of 2011. Hands down. I have been putting off writing about her in hopes of doing her justice, but I can’t wait any longer. She writes the kind of music that gives me strength to get through whatever the day brings. I’ve been watching her evolve for some 18 months now, checking in frequently since I first heard that incredible voice. Since then, each new song and its accompanying video has only […]

wild eyed, you’re still flying…

June 9, 2012 by MD

Just came across Went Away- a warm, uplifting song from the Maccabees’ latest album, Given to the Wild. They are playing Webster Hall (NYC) on June 13th.  I can’t wait. They make me feel better about life. The video for Went Away is kind of bland, but check out the short film above, it’s quite powerful. The video for Can You Give It is quirky and endearing, while Wall of Arms and Empty Vessels are both pretty heavy. I vaguely remember a […]

we’re working and we’re so much better for it…

Godwolf just might change your life. I don’t remember how I stumbled across “Another Me,” but I instantly fell in love. And then it only got better. Their music strikes this sublime balance between tenderness and rage that is nothing short of earthshattering. “We like the idea of blending the ethereal with the vicious: the ambient with the aggressive: the God with the Wolf.” I can guarantee that these five will knock your socks off. Absolutely. Brilliant. Godwolf – Another […]

Something my soul needs…

June 5, 2012 by MD

I consider myself a reasonably articulate person, but sometimes I find myself unable to put a certain feeling into words, until I hear a song that finds the perfect way to express it and I get that epiphany blast of pleasure.  It’s like an EXPLOSION… but a good one. (Off the record, I would love to hear this sung by a female vocalist. Any girls you’d like to hear cover it? Leave a comment.) Keaton Henson – Flesh And Bone

I need you to be rough…

May 30, 2012 by MD

Check out Poliça. I love the way this Amongster rises and falls so much that it didn’t even bother me that I could barely make out a goddam word she was singing for most of it because she has this sort of female Thom Yorke thing going on with her vocals and the video is sort of like Planet Earth meets soft porn. Something about the way that snail is raising it’s nonexistent eyebrows tells you a boner (or clit […]
