Get these.
April is the start of music season.

Had to bring this SF native back. IDK why I have a kinship with this guy. Maybe it's how I met him. Maybe I secretly think we're related... either way. If you don't have this album get it. Darondo - How I Got Over

Rocket Juice & The Moon - Lolo (feat. Fatoumata Diawara & M.anifest)

Sweatshop Union - Bill Murray

This is pretty amazing, and it's loosely based off of Delirium from Coffee & Cigarettes - Jim Jarmusch. DOPE. Sweatshop Union - Bill Murray

Chester French- Black Girls

This song seems so in genuine. It's like a) if you like Black girls so much why aren't you in the video with one b) what does hetero interracial have to do with homo interracial? If all their past videos hadn't been so full of coked out Manhattan blondes this would be more believable. If he needs examples try David Bowie, Justin Timberlake, Mayer Hawthorne et al.

Black Girl - 1966

Here is the first 5 min, the second video is the whole thing.
I love Noire, and the French did it well.

Good Kisser - Hunx & His Punx

This band is from Oakland, and I would put money on that they are from the west. LOL I grew up with this in my backyard. It's not even a good song but it makes me nostalgic.

Tupac Live 2012 At Coachella Legit Full Performance, Intro and outro!

So I woke up this morning to someone at Coachella talking about this Tupac "performance"
It creeps me out. There is technology out there that can be used to fool us and control us. His performance brought up all these feelings I had about Brave New World. This isn't what I meant when I wanted a mash up album, but also creepy that I was on a Tupac wavelength in the same week.

Jack White - Sixteen Saltines

OTHER than "youth in revolt" or Jack feeling some kinship to a level of anarchy or also a COMPLETE ignoring of what the song is about and his circumstances (and me wanting to smack a kid and untie him) I don't think I'm supposed to understand this video. I do like that it is an extreme departure from his last few, and I'm putting it out there that I would like to direct one.
