  • Today’s serious aural fixation: Bang Bang (cover) by Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes. You might know Clairy for her coulda-sworn-it-was-Winehouse smoky style, or perhaps from their soundtracking // cameo in this great Heineken commercial: You can stream their debut album, Baby Caught The Bus, below. Check it: Baby Caught The Bus by Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes

  • Off her new album ghostbird, here’s Malaysian artist Zee Avi with Siboh Kitak Nangis. If there’s one thing I love, it’s gorgeous music and lyrics that I have no chance of understanding. All the same, something about her voice really gets me - this is music to bury yourself in the pillows to, music to drink coffee in bed. This is music that makes me glad I have orange curtains. LISTEN. Find the album. Listen more. More music here. Check it.

  • I don’t have my car. Some lady reversed into me. All good, no worries, everything’s fine and dandy - but I’ve been listening to someone else’s radio presets in a rental car - some ghost who seemed to really like KCRW and oldies. This song was on it this morning and I was driving just a little too fast and I was just the right amount of slightly hungover and I’m wearing a skinny tie and the windows were down and there was just so much good about the moment. Come on. Give it a spin. You’ll feel cool, I promise.

  • Let’s all talk about how amazing this cover is. It sounds like something that fell off of the Treme soundtrack and took a left turn at True Blood blvd. Hip, dark, fresh, imminently danceable. Would love to hear some sick remix of this bumping in a club. Florence and the Machine - Not Fade Away (Buddy Holly cover) off of the Rave On Buddy Holly tribute album. Here’s the video - look how much fun she’s having!

  • Amor fati is a Latin phrase loosely translating to “love of fate” or “love of one’s fate”. It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one’s life, including suffering and loss, as good. Moreover, it is characterized by an acceptance of the events or situations that occur in one’s life. I can live with that.

  • Off of the forthcoming Ukulele Songs by Eddie Vedder, here’s the only legitimate reason anyone should even pick up a Ukulele, the classic Tonight, You Belong To Me, most memorably performed by Steve Martin in The Jerk. As a means of comparison, here’s Steve below.

  • copycats: Dearest by The Black Keysoriginally by Buddy Holly via fuckyeahpastiche: A substantial portion of my music library is devoted to Buddy Holly and his Rockabilly contemporaries. I’m particularly partial to Mr. Holly, which has me absolutely thrilled for this upcoming tribute album (save for the Kid Rock track… confusing). Click through to onethirtybpm for more info.

  • New Orleans-based indie rockers Generationals have an 80’s surf kind of sound with but with a modern spin and indie style. I really love their 09 album Con Law. and can’t recommend it enough, to be honest. This song, Trust, is off a forth-coming EP of the same name, and bodes very well for the band’s follow up album Actor-Caster, due in March 2011. It was released to the KCRW DJs the other day and, uh, my copy fell off a truck. So. DON’T ASK QUESTIONS JUST LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC OK? The video is awesome and exactly 100% what it should be. If you dig the song, give the video a watch. Generationals - Trust from LaundroMatinee on Vimeo.

  • I’m still crazy for last night’s Boardwalk finale, so here’s the increasingly-stuck-in-my-head theme song. Like many other HBO shows, this is a real-ass song that was appropriated by HBO and now will forever be tied to the show. Try to listen to “Woke Up This Morning” without feeling like you’re in Jersey. You can’t. You can’t!

  • A Bluegrass Sunday Aural Fixation: Crooked Still – Come On In My Kitchen. I could live in this song forever. It makes Life feel like an episode of Justified and there’s nothing wrong with that at all. EDIT: The download button up top doesn’t work. But THIS LINK does. So. Right click and “save as” to snag a copy of this for yourself. Come on. It’s worth it. Give it another listen, it’ll grow on you.

  • Today’s aural fixation: Ain’t No Shooter Shining (Weezy vs. Bill Withers) and if I’m correct that’s just a little bit of Spoon thrown in towards the very end. A chill way to get through the work day.
