There aren't a whole lot of live performance videos of Sam hanging out, but this one is pretty great and seems to be an appropriate 100th post for me.
Angel Olsen – Miranda
angel olsen (AKA "angela babbler") softly crooning/caterwauling in a brooklyn bakery. i've been enjoying her debut, and i can think of a few of other citizens that might too.
John Fullbright – Satan & Saint Paul

This dude and Woddy Guthrie were both born in the same town. His debut album, From The Ground Up, is getting a lot of high praise.

Delta Spirit – People C’mon
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kyyjd0234w
I stumbled onto Delta Spirit earlier last year via spotify (before the book of faces ruined it), and was really taken with their album Ode to Sunshine. The rest? Not so much. But I do like this track.

h/t to my friend teddy w. for turning me onto The War On Drugs. I've had Slave Ambient on in the studio for the last several days, and that's a good thing.
Jessie Ware – Taking In Water
some britsy pop-soul, or something. however you'd like to describe it.
one, i like using that tag, and two, while sampleboy over there might not truly deserve it: you push buttons. act like you've been there.
