Cheat Sheet #19 2011

The Weeknd - The Birds (Part 1) source Listen Before You Buy
This guy drops another smooth jam. R&B is very far from my wheel house, but this works because it has suck a tasty beat.
New mixtape supposedly out this Thursday June 23

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Same Mistake source My Blog Cliche
A return to form. Really love the song, but it does have a very similir beat to "Yellow Teeth." I hope the album can hold up, the short video clip below is like a royal sampler and it has some more good sounds on it.
New album Hysterical is out Sept. 20

White Denim - Drug source Gorilla Vs Bear
Nice and easy pop music with a touch of pscydelia. This reminds me of the Posies from the 90s with out any over the top guitars. Turn the volume down if you watch the connected video.
Album D is out now

Cool Kids - Swimsuit (feat. Mayor Hawthorne) source The Chuckness
Great song for the summer. A nice drum beat and swimsuit theme. This is way cooler then anything I will do this summer. I think I'll write a sweet tune about going to Disney World.
New album When Fish Rid Bicycles is out July 12
Band Website

Future Islands - Before the Bridge source Listen Before You Buy
I really like the intro to this song, then the voice comes in and I was caught off guard. I listened again and the shock was gone. A distinctive voice and good sound.
Song is from a new 7 inch out next week

RIP Clarence Clemens

Bruce Springsteen (Clarence Clemens)- Sherry Darlin' (Live from '80s)
I'm not a real big Bruce fan, but this video shows the power of the man and his band live. Clarence Clemens could blow a mean sax and was an awesome performer. RIP.


Bruce Springsteen - Tenth Avenue Freeze Out (Live '93)
Dicey camera work but good sound


Clarence Clemens Solo - Jungleland (Live '09)
Still had it all the way till the end.

Saturday Morning Videos #4 2011

A great week for videos. Every one of these tracks will be played all summer long (and most I have posted previously), this is the greatest video post ever! Thanks to Pitchfork for the hook-up.

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues source Youtube
This is not an official video, but I've been listening to this song so often it needs to be recognized. Song of the summer!


Bright Eyes - Jejune Stars source Pitchfork
Straight forward performance video that is ok, but I think this is a great song.



Bon Iver - Calgary source Pitchfork
Out of the sidehatch, feel free to leave comments about the meaning of this video. It is beyond my capabilities.


Antlers - Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out source Pitchfork
Drink more milk and some weird stuff - a little creepy.


Crystal Stilts - Shake The Shackles source Pitchfork
For science

Oh Land - Wolf and I from youtube
I highly recomend the new album!



The Black Lips - Live at Webster Hall source Pitchfork
This clip made me realize how awesome this band is! Now I just need to find a way to see them in concert.


My Morning Jacket - Circuital source Paste Magazine
Great classic rock sound



Coldplay - Charlie Brown source Someone To Shout For
Click the link to Someone To Shout For to hear three other new Coldplay tracks. For fans this sounds like it is going to be a great new album, for non-fans I'm sure it sounds lame. I'm looking forward to this one.
