This song is amazing. It’s very melodic and has a bit of a Caribbean feel to it. And on top of this, Rostam Batmanglij (of Vampire Weekend) and Wes Miles (of Ra Ra Riot) are the two members of this synthy side-project. If you’re looking for some music to hold you off until Vampy Weekies decides to drop their next album, check out Discovery’s album, LP, at their official website.
Putting your bare feet on grass is definitely a great feeling, but what if you could take that feeling elsewhere, like the urban streets? Well, a little company known as KUSA is making your wish come true with their $31 flip flops.
Now, these aren’t made of real grass, and are instead made of Syn-Turf. But that’s ok, because they probably feel like the real thing anyways. So, would you wear these? If so, you can go ahead and buy a pair right now!
Have you ever woken up and immediately have had a song stuck in your head? And then, only a few moments later, you’re singing said song because it’s so catchy? Well, that happened to me this morning with Cut Copy’s new-wavy track, “Take Me Over.”
“I can’t dream anymooooooooooooooore…….. since you left” – Me singing this just a few moments ago.
Just dance. Go wild. =D
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that this blog is going down today from 8am to 8pm in protest of SOPA and PIPA. But don’t worry, my blog will be back up later that night with some new content.
Much love,

When I first heard this song around this time last year, I thought it was a brilliant, nostalgic-inducing, reverb-filled indie electronic tune. I quickly tried to find more beautiful songs from DyE, but at the time, he was a rather unknown artist. After not hearing anything about the guy for over a year, I decided to give the song another listen and look him up on Google. That’s when I found this video, with over 2 million hits on YouTube and another 276K on Vimeo.
I don’t want to give away the details of this video, so here’s the official description:
Directed by animation wunderkind Jérémie Périn, the video tells the story of a group of highschool kids ready for teenage mischief. They break into the local swimming pool intending a session of innocent nightswimming, in an awkward climate of romance and apprehension. What happens next is for you to discover here. NSFW.
This excellent track is available for free, right here.
What do you get when you combine an indie band from Brooklyn with one-half of a rap group from Queens? Well, you get this song right here: a lovely collab with Heems from Das Racist and Small Black. Listen above.
The entire Small Black mixtape, Moon Killer, is available online for free, right here.
A look through Das Racist’s discography will show you that these guys like to rap, especially on some hard beats. “The Trick,” however, is a chilled-out track produced by Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, and sounds nothing like their other stuff, but I love it!
Yeah, this song’s kind of old, but for the rest of the not-uber-hipsters out there, this is some fresh instrumental, fast-paced hip-hop/electronic tunage. Confused on what I just said? That’s ok. See that play button above? Just hit it, and your ears will be engulfed in Star Slinger’s amazing production.
Download this song and the rest of the album, Volume 1, here.
