Lana Del Rey: "Video Games"

Once again, I have missed the boat. In deciding which songs to post on this blog, I have to perform a bit of a balancing act. I try to only post songs that I really like. This takes a little bit of filtering. However, I also try to only post songs that are brand new.

Anyway, about a month or two ago, I came across a few songs by Lana Del Rey. I decided against giving them a proper listen. My bad. A couple nights ago, I revisited these songs and now I am obsessed. However, I am posting this now. Better late than never, I guess.

Check out Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" video below:

The Black Keys: "Lonely Boy"

North Highlands: "Steady Steady"

North Highlands is new, at least, to me. Their album, Wild One, is available on Bandcamp for $8.

The excellent track, "Steady Steady," is featured on Wild One but is also available as a free single download.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: "Yellow Missing Signs"

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, released their third album, Let It Sway, earlier this year. However, they are now releasing Tape Club--a collection of album rejects accumulated over the band's history. Among the many fine tracks therein is "Yellow Missing Signs" a dark, but catchy number. Check it out here:

Stone Darling: "Baby Come Home"

Los Angeles-area girl-country-garage-band genre Stone Darling has struck a chord with me. This tune, "Baby Come Home," is quite nice. The band will release an EP in November. Until then, check out "Baby Come Home" below.

More Out Of Iceland!

Of Monsters and Men was featured in the last Iceland post. However, this track, off the same album (My Head Is An Animal), is also worthy of attention. check out "King and Lionheart" at the Soundcloud player below:

Small Black: "Two Rivers"

"Two Rivers" features Heems of Das Racist. It's off the mixtape, Moon Killer, which will drop 11/11/11. Small Black is also, supposedly, releasing a new album next year.

Check out "Two Rivers" below:

Eight And A Half: "Scissors"

Eight And A Half consists of members of established bands, The Stills and Broken Social Scene. A full album is expected in 2012 sometime. However, until that unspecified date draws near, you will have to be content with listening to "Scissors," a good song.


Eight And A Half--Scissors

Phantogram: "Don't Move"

I dropped the ball on this one a bit, I'm afraid. However, in case this song is unfamiliar to you, check it out. It's all over, it seems. It's pretty darn catchy, too.

"Don't Move" will be included on the album, Nightlife, along with five others. Due out November 1, 2011.

The Black Keys: El Camino

Okay, so here's a quick story in a nutshell:
