New album from The Field will be played on repeat for weeks the second i get it. Prepare yourself.

I. Am. So. Fucking. Excited. About. This. Album.

Go here to stream a track from Yesterday and Today. It’s worth it, i promise. And if for some reason, you haven’t heard the Field before, go get From Here We Go Sublime. It won’t let you down.

If you like Röyksopp and have 15 minutes, you should watch this.

But just a heads up, it’s kind of weird. However, also hilarious.

I'm a little late to the Bat for Lashes party, but it's okay, because the party is really just getting started.

So i’m finally biting into the Bat for Lashes Two Suns apple to see what the big deal is. So far it tastes fucking delicious. The single, “Daniel”, especially is a good jam.

I am musically diverse.

I’ve been listening to Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Webb Pierce, and other old country stars for about a week now. Well, the streak is ended, and i’m now listening to the new Venetian Snares, which i am REALLY excited about.

Here is the first track. It is entitled “Deep Dicking”. I’d be lying if i said that i didn’t think it was cool that i can go from “Coal Miner’s Daughter” to “Deep Dicking” without blinking. I am musically diverse.

Highlights from my 2 day Honky Tonk/Old Country marathon

For the past two days i’ve listened to nothing but the Webb Pierce box set i just obtained entitled The Wondering Boy. This morning i finally broke it up by playing some Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton at Octane this morning. Here are some highlights from the past few days.

“There Stands the Glass” by Webb Pierce

“When I’m With You” by Webb Pierce and Kitty Wells

“Wings Upon Your Horns” by Loretta Lynn - Pretty sure this song was banned when it first came out.

“Jolene” by Dolly Parton
