jam - Austin Town Hall

Groove to the Beat of Kisses

September 30, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I feel like somewhere I gravitated away from dance music in the last few years. I hit it hard for awhile, then I sort of went the opposite direction again; it’s the cycle of my musical life. Anyways, I can definitely hear remnants of the 00s dance greats like LCD Soundsystem and !!! in the groove crafted by Kisses on this new track. It’s about as funky as anything they’ve done (that might be the reason for the title “Jam”), and it doesn’t hurt that they’re tossing out names like Talking Heads and Orange Juice in all the press literature. Wanna get down today? Wanna get down on October 9th? Then check out their new effort, Rest in Paradise.

Catchy Tune from The Sea Life

November 4, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Mondays are always difficult for everyone, trying to climb out of bed and head back to the daily grind. Sometimes you need a nice little pick me up, and I hope that this tune from The Sea Life helps you out in that arena. The band’s been changing around the line-up a bit, and they claim that that has influenced their sound a bit; whatever they say, it’s good to my ears. It’s got this throbbing hook, but in an indie pop realm, as opposed to some sort of electronic induced push and pull. Definitely a group who’ve caught my attention today. Enjoy.

I’m not one to repost music that’s been everywhere and back again on the internet, but I just can’t resist this one from Phantogram. Enjoy much? It’s a jam that no one could resist really. Take this into your weekend and you can thank me later, k?

The IT Department – v2.3

February 18, 2012 brian.gray 3 comments

This edition will bring you a nice little variety. I have an older track from Glass Candy that I’ll use to highlight one the best movies I have seen in a while. I have a track from Superhumanoids that is short and sweet. An old-school feeling trance track from Acid Washed that is new, I promise. Loose Fit busts out some funky bassline action for a genre I like to call “theme music”. I’ll finish up with a stellar track from Dana Buoy you can download. Dana Buoy is in Akron/Family, this isn’t an Akron/Family track.

Head past the break…
