I’ve heard this band’s name everywhere but never really knew a thing about them, other than they look like the folk version of The Village People. I was just sent this song a few minutes ago and I thought it was great enough to share.

One of my earlier posts this year was of The Knife’s song Heartbeats. Here is a lovely rendition of this song done by Jose Gonzalez on his album Veneer.

Home Glasser

Glasser is an attractive new member of the whole “artistically relevant” female singer/songwriter movement going on right now.  If you’re into Florence + The Machine, Bat For Lashes, or Fever Ray, you will be feeling Glasser’s stuff, too.

Bombay El Guincho

I usually do not have an affinity for non-English music because I can’t connect with the lyrics.  However that’s not the case with El Guincho, the one-man project of Spanish born Pablo Díaz-Reix.  It’s easy to just enjoy the tropical vibes and to not give a shit about what he’s singing about.

“I shock you like an eel, Electric Feel, Jay Electra.” - Jay Electronica, “Exhibit C”

Yeah, if you haven’t heard of Jay Elec yet, he’s like the new Nas.  He also rapped over the Eternal Sunshine theme song.

It is funny how you can sing of something so disgusting and horrible, and make it sound so beautiful.
