The Minutemen

Something I learned.

Arthur Russell

Alright so I jumped on the bandwagon, liked him after the release of the super sad documentary, and free downloads strategically placed on blogs, and after a member of Grizzly Bear decided to press a 7" of a dusty unreleased track.
But, his music really grows on you. At first listen it was strange and annoying, because all I wanted to do was listen again. And that voice. I still don't know why.

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

The Nearness of you - Ella Fitzgerald

Lake

Two starkly different songs by the same band. Both great for the appropriate occasion. You'll see what I mean.
Lake-"Madagascar"

Nico

"Chelsea Girl" was made for October. It had to have been.

Camera Obscura

I hate to post a mostly blank video, but the song is so wonderful it will be worth your while.

Pete Drake

PETE DRAKE: FOREVER
by mrjyn

Pete Drake-"Forever" 1959

Creepy back-up singers aside, this is one of the coolest things I've seen ever. All the while you thought T-Pain was making futuristic shit.

Alien Lanes

Great album cover. Great album, period.
