Aluna George-Outlines


Fans of Disclosure or any London female vocalist over electronic loungey down-tempo beats will love this.  A painful, joyful, cliche-ful get over the person you were seeing. Let it go.

It's not like a déjà vu 
And it's not an illusion 
But sometimes I feel you through 
All the confusion 


It doesn't always make me feel sad 
But it never really makes me feel glad 
Because all the good times we had could never be back

Caspian - (Hymn For) The Greatest Generation


Caspian, the instrumental post rock band from MA, fell upon
tough times recently with the passing of their bassist Chris Friedman
on Augusts 25. In the wake of that misfortune, they are prepping
the release of their new EP 'Hymn For The Greatest Generation'
teasing us with this majestic tune by the same name.

Their last album was voted Best Post Rock Album of 2012
by SPIN. Clearly, mourning or not, they have not lost a step,
taking us on a contemplative seven minute journey with
twinkling guitars slathered in reverb and decay, building gently
till they give way to the sweetest of sweeping strings.

Tom Neville & Zen Freeman featuring Aaron Paul - Dance Bitch


Now and then we all indulge in a novelty item, no matter
how frugal you are...or not. But what if that novelty item
was a song? A song that reminded us of the countless
hours we spent tracking the exploits of Walter and Jesse
from AMC's 'Breaking Bad'. Don't we need reminders
even more in the absence of what once was? 
Alright maybe this transcends being a novelty item.

While he was not always responsible or reliable, 
Jesse Pinkman could be counted on to expel the expletive
'bitch' with comforting regularity. Well, Tom Freeman and
Zen Freeman knew he would come through, to yell 
at you, several times over the course of this surprisingly
enjoyable electro-house joint -
"DANCE!..........bitch."

Here's proof that every club night needs a Jesse Pinkman.
