Die Antwoord - "Enter The Ninja"
So, I’m not sure how much of their image is an act and how much is real, but maintaining that mystique is probably why I love these guys SO MUCH. Hopefully their album comes out sooner than later.
Here’s an “interview” with the group which seriously made me laugh out loud:

WatchDead Man’s Bones - “Name In Stone”
Some actor named Ryan Gosling is apparently in this band. Since I really know nothing about movies / actors (srsly, it’s embarassing) that fact doesn’t really do anything for me. However, I thought the song was kinda cool with a fun chorus, so I thought I’d go ahead an post it, enjoy!

Vēja Ziedi - "Iebrauca Saulīte"
Ok boys and girls, I’m gonna get ethic for a second. My friend Imanta just recently sent me some stuff she’s been working on with her friend Agnese, and I have to say it’s really awesome (even more awesome if you’re Latvian). Anyway, what makes this good is the way they’re able to mix a traditional Latvian folk sound with more modern elements.
Have a listen for...
Local Natives - "Airplane"
I’m diggin’ this pretty hard tonight. It’s the perfect music for a spring that just won’t warm up or a winter that refuses to give up. Listen, download, and enjoy here.

Baltimore: Teach Me Your Dance Moves
Having grown up in Washington, DC (er, Silver Spring, MD - potato potahto) I remember the district used to have an amazing music scene with a very distinct sound. I think it’s safe to say that those days are completely over. For now.
(Aside: Kristaps Kreslins, owner of my favorite local watering hole Pharmacy Bar, has a theory that with a democrat back in office, the music scene will get...
Jamie T - "Pacemaker"
I totally LOVE this song. It reminds me of a British version of Operation Ivy or maybe a maybe The Streets infused with G. Love. I don’t know, but it’s fucking bangin’. Banger. I feel like listening to this song and beating up a St. Vincent fan (a dude St. Vincent fan, of course). ‘Cause that’s how I roll.
