Can't think of many things better than driving around town with my sister, blasting L Boogie out the stereo, and singing at the top of our lungs.
Every time I listen to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill with someone, I say the same thing, "I think she made a perfect album." This song is one of its finest.
So we thought this one would be a karaoke classic, but it fell flat the other night at our local Backstage Lounge. Maybe it wasn't the right track to follow up Ginuwine's "Pony." Nevertheless, this jam remains a banger in my mind. Always.
Another gloomy morning here in L.A.
Can't ever get enough of McMorrow's haunting voice, and this track -- produced by Toronto's Anthony Paul Jefferies (aka Nineteen85) -- feels like just the thing until the clouds get out of the way.
Another gloomy morning here in LA and this song came on the radio on my way to work to brighten the day.
(Shoutout to the guys over at KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic -- you can check out Lidell's performance on their radio show from back in the day below).
I had a chance to see Lidell perform live at the Cabaret Juste pour rire when I lived in Montréal back in 2010 (also found a video from that show, check it out below). So much energy and talent. And fun.
Okay, one last video (I promise) of "Multiply" featuring Feist, Mocky, and legendary music professor Chilly Gonzales, teaching music theory to his students and friends in "Master Class."
Feeling some strong desert vibes today. Looking forward to getting out to Palm Springs very soon and this cover of Architecture In Helsinki's "Heart It Races" seems like just the thing.
Missing the beach on this gloomy, overcast morning in LA.
Beach days on the weekend.
She back! This just dropped yesterday, what a funky way to kick off the weekend with some feel-good celebrations from this classic Queen of hip hop and R&B.
🎶 Doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo. 🎶
Happy Friday!
An oldie, but a (Canadian) goodie. Really channels the vibe I was feeling from Dan Auerbach's latest "King Of A One Horse Town," yesterday's featured track.
You might know Dan from this little band he's in called the Black Keys. This song off his latest solo release reminds me of Sam Roberts and Beck in the best ways and I love it. The video is pretty epic, too. Enjoy!
Love this peppy, upbeat track from LA artist Gavin Turek. Give it a listen below or scroll down to watch her perform it live on KCRW.
What a low-down, dirty beat. Love this new track that dropped just last week from Murphy (aka Chet Faker) and my boy Kevin.
This one goes out to all the mamas, future, present, and past, and those who have passed on, including the late Donda West. Catch her and Kanye singing together in the adorable video below. Happy Mama's Day!
