Summer - Beer drinking music.

Summer is in full throttle and I've been pretty busy traveling lately. But I've finally got some down time here in Texas to post some things I've been listening to lately. Calvin Harris had recently released a new EP "Bounce" and I have a radio rip of his newest single that has been "officially" released yet. I love Calvin Harris and I love that he knows how to create a bomb ass summer tune to get me bobbing my head to the beat. Lets see... I've also been listening to the new Fleet Foxes album (need I say more?) as well as Molly Wagger, Tune-Yards and Metronomy. Molly Wagger is a four person electro/folk band from scotland and they just released their new album "Flambeaux" on July 4th. Their single "Steve" has some great beats and melancholy melodies that I think we rarely hear from artists these days. Tune-Yards' lead female vocalist really does everything for me on their track "Bizness" and the video is pretty cool as well. I've posted some other summer tunes I've been listening to as well. Listen to these with your windows down. Enjoy.

Beirut's Back

Beirut is realeasing their new single East Harlem EP on 6/14 and it sounds amazing. Beirut has been out of the circuit since 2009 but I'm glad to hear they've returned with an amazing come back track and I can't wait to hear more. Enjoy.

Beirut - East Harlem by Revolver USA

Nicki Minaj [Catch Me]

A new bonus track just leaked from Nicki Minaj entitled 'Catch Me.' And different from most of the tracks on her album, where she is more or less sugar sweet and cute, the beat goes hard and Nicki is in the mood to fight... Over a man. Check it out. Enjoy.

Beyonce... [1+1]

Beyonce does it again. Couldn't find good quality download to give you so I posted her performance from the American Idol finale last night. Too bad no one in the competition could sing like this one. Enjoy.

Bon Iver

Bon Iver released a new track today off of his upcoming self titled LP to be released June 21st. It's everything you would expect and more from a Bon Iver tune and leaves me anxiously waiting his album to drop. I can't wait. Anyway, I've also posted a tune from a Bon Iver like band called The Middle East from Australia. I love this track. Also, Wise Blood released a new track ... thought I would post this one to put a little spice in the mix. Enjoy
