The Ross Sisters - Solid Potato Salad. (1941)

Cause that made sense. Is your body supposed to be able to do that?

Dashboard Radio
Have the latest version of Sarafi? Use Tumblr? Then I highly suggest you get this. This looks way awesome and I’ll be looking into it tonight. This was made by the very intelligent jeffrock who also built the Tumblr iPhone app I believe.

I’m a huge music-nerd and a huge nerd-nerd so I wrote a Safari Extension that allows you to listen to your the music in your Dashboard, iTunes style.
Features:

 Transport controls. Play, pause, next and previous track.
 Liking. You can like and unlike right from the transport controls.
 Reblogging. Love a track? Put it on your blog.
 View original post. Clicking the track name opens a new tab and loads the post that the track originated from.
 Autoload. When you get to the end of the tracklist Dashboard Radio gets the next set and keeps the music playing.
More features coming soon…

Hope you enjoy it!
Download Dashboard Radio (requires Safari 5.0.1).
After installing be sure to set your Tumblr account details in Safari > Preferences > Extensions.

Totem Pole - Voyeuristic Tradition

A drone-a-rific band out of West Palm Beach that with a pinch darkness that is psych music is, adds a bit of pop sensibility and some harmonies to make an awesome album full of spaced-out tunes.

via pastaprima:

They have their album Caves and Tunnels, Mountains and Stars up for free download on their bandcamp and highly suggest you go get it.  Check a few highlights:

King Charles - Love Lust

I completely forgot about this song for a really long time, I had it in my drafts section with no text, just the audio file. Luckily, I remembered I had it in there and I get to share it with you.

With such an infectious vocal part by the very eccentric Brit with Banhart-type iconic hair, a driving piano part accompanied with a simple clickty-clacking of drum sticks it is hard not to tap your foot.

David Ramirez - Shoeboxes

Well isn’t this lovely! Andrea produced it, she seems really rad, so I’d give her a follow if you don’t already.

via andreantoinette

David was in town from Austin this weekend, so we filmed a little take-awayish show of his new song Shoeboxes. You gotta listen, he’s so good.

Tender Times - a yvynyl mixtape
Reblogging solely because of the cover art. I haven’t even listened to it yet. The cover art alone is numero uno. You can go ahead and assume the tracks featured are numero uno also. Mark’s mixes are always solid.
Don’t forget to follow Mark over at yvynyl he’s way better at blogging than I.

This has been a busy summer. As I’ve built this mix over the past month, reconsidering it, pondering it, I’ve swapped songs in and out, never quite finding ‘the moment’ when it all came together. I think it was the new Deerhunter song that did it for me. A kind of anchor. We all need anchors in our lives, don’t we? A kind of benchmark to see how far we’ve come. I hope you’re all finding anchors of your own this summer. 
Do me a favor and click through on the links to learn more about these bands.  Many of them are putting out music completely independently and would love the support.  Many also offer free music, so if you dig a track a lot, why not check out some of their other work. Best yet, buy their records, artwork, merch and tickets to their shows. Support indie artists.

Brothertiger - Wind at My Back

Soooo good. Soooo smooth.

I feel like when I listen to this I need the follow things:

  1. Cute girl.
  2. A darkened high school gymnasium.
  3. A disco ball.
  4. A tweed blazer with elbow patches with the sleeves rolled up
  5. A skinny knit tie.
  6. Wayfarer type sunglasses.
  7. Sweet dance moves.

You can download via bandcamp

Jordan Irvin Dally - The Punchblows

Jordan was kind enough to tip me off to his free-floating, dreamy folk music. I would assume L.A. native with rather rustic vocals and adventurous music has a new album or EP in the works since the songz he sent cannot be found on his bancamp site, but I recommend you can buy his EP Despistado there, it’s awesome. I expect big things from this kid in the near future if things aren’t already in the works.

Daniel Zott - Road to Emmaus

Now that the Tumblr servers have right it’s self I am able to tell you about Daniel Zott. Daniel an eccentric dude out of Detroit that makes pop songs that sounds from sounds that bring memories of Grizzly Bear to Beck to hip-hop and then to a “less-depressed Elliot Smith” as said by Detroit Weekly.

You can listen to his new EP on candbamp he released in April.

IN EVERY ROOM - EM E GEE

In Every Room is a small Baltimore band gaining some buzz around Charm City. This track is off their just released a debut cassette under Friends Records, just in time for Whartscape. Where I will be seeing them play on Sunday, they play early so make sure you come out.

You can get their album digitally on bandcamp, cassette soon.
