Bobby Caldwell

I just found out that he's white. My whole life is a lie.

DUCKWRTH

This sounds like N.E.R.D. in the best way possible. Keep doing your thing Duckwrth.

Rizzle Kicks Grew Up

I mentioned these guys in 2011 and I just stumbled across them again. I'm happy to see Rizzle Kicks are still kicking it.

Billie Eilish x Jengi

A project that my sister and I are planning introduced me to the original "Oceans Eyes" that I only knew as the Jengi remix. This sent me down a rabbit hole for both artists, so I'll share my favorites. Billie's vocals are enchanting and the grooves of Jengi make the sun rise. What a wonderful vibe.

Genie

Everything about this Busy P track gets me there. I might have to buy an Ed Banger Records t-shirt after this one.



Also I think this fashion film is a better music video than the original.

Best of Like A Version 2017 (so far)

I'm always on the look out for a good cover. Triple J has featured some killer hits this year.

Electric Guest

What a solid sound. They should be more popular. It's one of those groups you have heard before, but didn't realize it.

Regina Holding Hands

Since Apple auto adds every song you have ever bought on iTunes I've been listening to songs that I used to play in college. Unfortunately the best in my old library we're given to me or stolen, so the real gems are missing. Today I was able to track down a song that I used to play a lot thanks to a girl's name. White Denim's mix of vocals and sound is enchanting.



Another track you should check out.



And for a bonus here's a great article about life: "Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on."

All My Friends (Franz Ferdinand Version)

I was looking for good LCD covers. This one is fair. I've always enjoyed the effect on Franz vocals.

This works so well that it doesn't need DP's vocals.

Enchanting stuff.

Vanilla Fudge

Vanilla Fudge is an American rock band known predominantly for their slow extended heavy rock arrangements of contemporary hit songs, most notably "You Keep Me Hangin' On". The band has been cited as "one of the few American links between psychedelia and what soon became heavy metal."

Vanilla Fudge · Then and Now

Takako Mamiya & Tatsuro Yamashita

Classic Japanese funk and soul at it's best.

Ojuelegba

This song by Wizkid makes me long for warmer weather. The Drake version isn't half bad.

Lofi Hip Hop Live Stream

Just beats, so relax.

Flamingosis

Flamingosis is like the best grocery store music ever. The jam of jams.

Sussudio

I've been going through the 80s top 100 Billboard charts with the girlfriend and some how I've never heard of this song. I definitely can hear that Chromeo was influenced by Phil Collins.
