This past month it seems I've been wrapped up in the corrosive mist of San Francisco and I'm beginning to sense the signs of rust on those surrounding me. Thus, the August Rust Mixtape! This time around it's a bit longer (Fourteen tracks). In addition to the Soundcloud seamless stream, I've zipped the individual tracks that comprise the stream so you can listen at your own discretion. If you enjoy something, please support the artist.
San Francisco videographers Yours Truly deliver another flawless clip of Washed Out in the studio performing "Far Away." Earnest Green gives the Within and Without track the smooth rock/jazz treatment. Boy is it smooth. It'll leave you itching for an unplugged-esque version of the whole album.
There were whispers all across the interwebs less than a month ago about a potential collaboration between James Blake and Bon Iver and now we have the first and perhaps only incarnation of such. Let my early Christmas wish be for more. And how long until Mr. Blake gets his Kanye collaboration? Listen to "Fall Creek Boys Choir" below via Youtube:
A. It's Ryan Gosling in capri-style casual Clark Kent mode breaking up a street scuffle in NYC.
B. His finesse is one for the ages.
C. Who hates Ryan Gosling? No one hates Ryan Gosling! Why?.... He breaks up fights in intersections. Also, he happens to be one of the most underrated musicians to come out of the last five years.
I try to avoid two things here, regurgitation and delayed regurgitation. This post has both, so lets just say they cancel each other out. Two weeks ago The Fader debuted "As I Float: The Great John Nash", a mix-tape by Los Angeles talent, Young L. I just stumbled upon the batch of fantastic beats and a flow that will probably appeal to the masses.The stone that pushed this one to the edge of my blogging cliff and into TPM existence was the fact that "As I Float.." is strung together by none other than Imogen Heap samples. Yeah that's right, ying and some yang. Download via TheFader here. Watch the Trailer below:
Well, he's back folks. For all of those substituting your Neutral Milk Hotel cravings with Decembrists folly over the past years you can download and stream Jeff Mangum's live show at Trinity St. Paul's in Toronto, August 13th. Yes, it sounds amazing. Link here!
Ever since 'Vomit' was shared as the first single off San Francisco's Girls new LP I've been establishing a slow burning infatuation with the song. Watch film noir-ish video below. Download the track here. (via Abeano)
