Hi I decided to expand to tumblr cause I’m..pretty broke. Pretty much customizable, and all rocks/teeth were collected by myself while I was working in Alaska. Price negotiable msg me if yer interested!

Henry King - Keepin' It Deep Entry by Rico Lumanlan

Here’s my entry to the Keepin’ It Deep contest. All votes are appreciated!

Hey my lovely lovely followers, please PLEASE help out my best bud by voting for his entry! He’s a GREAT DJ and deserves a shot at doing something with it like this!

Max Frost- White Lies

I honestly can't get the fuck over this song- mad props to Mr. Frost for his talent! This song is more or less the perfect mix of indie chill, uplifting, groovy, electric vibing mess of amazing. His other songs are pretty rad in themselves, so you should check those out too!

Matt Corby- Untitled

Holy shitballs. Not only is he easy on the eyes, his voice is insanely talented! This song is filled with so much emotion you're likely to cry, smile, feel a little anger, feel a little joy- all at once. ENJOY

I think I've fallen in looooOOVVeeeVEEEVEVE

my god.

Vance Joy you have an absolutely beautiful voice that could lull me into a dream world. I can't wait to see what else you come up with in your music ventures.

So I just realized the fucking word posts with info isn't showing up anymore so, sorry bout that I'll change it over break.

Fitz and the Tantrums- Out of My League

Oh boy.

This band has a natural soft spot in my heart- they came to play a free concert at my college (which is quite small mind you) and they rocked it. The grass was all mud, I was right up front with a really cool guy, everyone was more or less fucked up on something, and I will dub it as one of my favorite concerts attended. 

That was a tad dramatic. As well I'll be biased and say they're way better live but I'm not of the groupie sort.

Sorry it's been a while, school gets busy.

Anyways, I think these guys are make some great indie/chill/acoustic shit and this is a great cover, enjoy or something.

Kill Paris- To a New Earth (Gramatik Remix)

Dis shit is tight. This is everything you're expecting when Gramatik takes on Kill Paris's soulfull bass with a groovy glitch hop styling. All in all it turns out to be a mix of jam band, glitch hop and dub. To a New Earth came out Feb 26th GO GET IT.

Don Bikoff- Rindlers Metamorphosis

This is a purely instrumental song, but don’t let that throw you off- I’m finding they are some of the best. Don Bikoff is a bit older in his 60’s, but  this just shows his history with music and his lack of popularity is purely due to his lack of songs/publicity. He deserves much praise after this tune.

Hope your ears are feelin lazy for this one.

Generationals- Put a Light On

We finally got dumped on by snow in shitty Indiana...nostalgia of my home of Michigan is started to really set in. Anywho here's a great indie-pop song to get you through the day by one of my favorites- the Generationals. They give off a great happy vibe along with the rest of their songs in the album "Heza", which is up for pre-order now!

Flux Pavilion- Jah No Partial (w/ Major Lazer)

I'm bored of school so I'm getting a tad shmammered tonight I hope. Thisll get me in that groove I hope. This comes from Major Lazers album Free the Universe and has vocals from Johhny Osbourne. It starts with a great rasta jam feel and slowly churns into a full fledge dub-fest that you can't not dance to.

Rodriguez- Hate Street Dialogue (Round Table Knights Searching for Sugar Man edit)

Well, I woke up at noon today, it's shitty outside, gloomy, and I need a midday pick-me-up. Here's an edit of the classic Detroit hero Rodriguez's Hate St Dialogue (1970 album Cold Fact) morphed into a groovy haze of goodness made for some easy listening that will suck the cold out of your day and replace it with a cup o' chai or some shit like that.

Dag Savage- When it Rain (Ft Aloe Blacc)

Suuaaaavveeee...dats what I gotta say. Produced by EXILE for Dirty Science this limited edition track hits the soul where the soul needs hitting. Ahhaaa nuthin else to say y'all...when it rains it pours.

Lorde- The Love Club

It started snowing today here in Indiana, big beautiful fluffy flakes. But it's Indiana, not my beautiful hometown of Michigan so ugh.

Anyways, for this bright snowy day here's an upbeat tune by New Zealander Lorde...just a teenager! Not a huge female singer fan but her song is pop yet substance filled for the musical intellects. 

Enjoy!
