seriously though, i've been listening to this album the past couple weeks, and i love it more each time. there's definitely a lot of wholesale lifting going on, but it's all done with a wink and a nod, and mashed together in this awesome, unholy amalgam.
Lorde – Royals
It's hard to believe that this young lady is only 16 years old, but that seems to be the truth. And she's right that we will never be royals. Now, If only I can avoid this tune on top 40 radio for the next 6 months.
AlunaGeorge – You Know You Like It
the title of this song is rather self-explanatory.

Jeff Mangum – “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea”
Live in Buffalo. I was here, though way at the back. I don't like large crowds, so I usually stand well back at concerts. This was the encore, and a few people were actually leaving before he came back out. I was completely baffled. Either they a) didn't know how concerts and encores work, b) didn't know the In The Aeroplane Over The Sea tracklisting very well, or c) were really worried about traffic.

When that french horn started up, this huge wave of feeling washed over me. I left the show feeling refreshed. It was definitely one of the best shows I've ever been to, and this was the perfect closer. So it's on that note* I take leave of my DJing duties. Thank you for indulging me this week.
*You jerks know full well no pun intended 🙂
Dinosaur Jr – “Little Fury Things”
This may be my favorite Dinosaur Jr song. I love the last verse where J.'s voice stays at the same level of calmness while the cacophony builds around him. I went with this version as it was the earliest one I could find. Looks like everyone was having a good time.

Big thanks to Bootsy and free who got me turned on them a few years back.
Jacob Giles – “How Do You Smile?”
This is my oldest male cousin Jacob. He's four years younger than me. My oldest cousin is his big sister. Often times when we got together when we were younger, the girls - my little sister and his big sister - would always play together, and Jacob and I would play together. I haven't seen as much of him as an adult as I would like, but we're working on seeing each other more often.
This is an original work of his. I'm really proud of him not only for his talent, but having the guts to put himself out there like this. I couldn't imagine opening myself up like that for the world to see.

Jack Johnson – “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing”
If you'll indulge me, I've deviated from our live version habits because this video holds a place in my heart.
