Julian Lynch | Rancher

Surprise, Surprise, another post about Julian Lynch. I know there are about 2 people who read my blog, so I don't really care how boring or repetitive it is. I'm on a mission to make my few readers love Julian's music.

Honestly, I moved to Brooklyn exactly one week ago and Julian's bandcamp page has had the front tab of my Firefox browser the whole time. It's been awhile since a record has dominated me like Mare, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Although Mare is the record of the moment, Julian's Orange You Glad EP contains what is my favorite track, Rancher. Scroll to track 4 and listen to Racher's blissed out perfection.

Julian Lynch | Mare

Please, go here and bask in the awesomeness of Julian Lynch's new record, Mare.

If you know anything about Julian's music, you won't be surprised to find that the record is brimming with hazy atmospherics, raunchy guitar leads, far east and African influenced rhythms, and the most tasteful clarinet playing you'll find in indie rock.

Mare is a grower, but once it grabs you, you're down for the count. While you're over at Julian's bandcamp page, pick up everything he has for sale. The dude has been killing it for years and people are finally starting to pay attention.

Ke$ha - I Like Your Beard

I know Ke$ha has sold a billion records, but I'm not sure many people have made it to the last few seconds of "Your Love Is My Drug" and paid attention to how profoundly awesome the last line is. I promise, the last 3 seconds of this song make the whole thing worth it. Thanks, Eric.

Born Stoked

Below is the video for Wet Illustrated's Born Stoked.

The song is a total jam and the video is even better. During this season of NBA finals, enjoy the psychedelic footage of Spud Webb's epic 1986 dunk contest victory.

Still Hard

Remember when I posted about that awesome band Diarrhea Planet? Of course you do! Since you read that post, I'm sure you've been listening to their EP nonstop.

For those of you who were loving the Aloha EP, there is good news. Aloha will be getting a 7" vinyl release via Evil Weevil Records. The boys will also be doing a cassette release of their newest EP, Loose Jewels. Lastly, DP will be doing a split release with fellow Nashville rockers PUJOL.

Hopefully, Diarrhea Planet will be -in the words of Casey - "h00jer than U2."

Below is a live video of Aloha standout, Ghost With A Boner!!!
