New Band of Horses tune

Recorded live at Sweden's Accelerator Festival. Gus always comes through with the key finds.

Toe Jam

Best video ever? David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal provide the rhymes, beats by Fatboy Slim, directed by Keith Schofield.
Genius.

She & Him

M. Ward has collaborated with Jim James (MMJ), Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Neko Case, and Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley). But I've never been as enthralled as I am right now as he joins Zooey Deschanel to form She & Him. The album is titled Volume One, and is worth checking out. Sorry Scarlet, but this actress makes a great singer.
I'm all about music that sounds like it comes from another time (timeless?). On April 29th, the pair performed at the Vista Theater in L.A. Check out this clip of "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here". Jason Schwartzman (go watch The Darjeeling Limited and listen to his band Coconut Records if you haven't already done so) plays the piano during this tune at the show.

Damn! That's Funky!

Lettuce is a seven-piece band including members Eric Krasno (guitar) and Neil Evans (keys) of Soulive. I first saw the light when we stumbled across Soulive playing in a tent surrounded by knee deep mud at Bonnaroo many moons ago.
Invest the time to listen to this compilation of live jams by Lettuce and then go get some funk for yourself! Damn!
