We're back after taking last week off to digest our Thanksgiving meals. With many 'Best of 2013' lists hitting the web this week, I have been soaking in a lot of what was heard over the past year. These are some of the standouts this week:
QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE-If I had a Tail:
From a band that oozes cool. This song is just one of many badass tunes on the album ...Like Clockwork which was released in June.
PARQUET COURTS-Stoned and Starving:
Put some headphones on and listen to this song. This Brooklyn NY band has a way of sucking you in. Caught them live this past summer and their live show just pulls you closer to the stage. There is a 30 minute documentary about the band called "Light Up Gold Road Trip" that makes you want to like the band even more. Good search to watch when you have some free time. It's worth 30 minutes.
TEMPLES-Colours to Life:
I'm happy to hear more of this psychedelic sound coming back. These english dudes first album will come out early next year, but this is a taste of whats to come. I dig it.
JAGWAR MA-The Throw:
A blend of Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Janes Addiction and that psychedelic that I love. This is from the debut album from the Sydney Australia trio.
T. REX-Life Is Strange:
Obviously not a new song but you will find this on the Dallas Buyers Club soundtrack, which is a fantastic movie and should be listed in the 'Best of Movies for 2013'. Either way, it's T. Rex, it's a great song and when I saw the movie last week, I made me want to to dig out my T. Rex cd's and listen to them nonstop.
That's all for this week. We'll have more best of stuff coming up next week.
