[video] White Denim - "Street Joy"

Austin, TX discerning garage-psych four piece have released a video for the track "Street Joy" off their new and noteworthy LP, D. The well-executed video harkens back to a hormone-filled 80's prom to great results. Check it out below:

Soul grooves for your early mornings...

I know nothing about this man except he calls himself "Tony Touch." I feel that with a name like that, further research isn't even necessary at the moment. If I can recommend anything to our lovely readers this week, listen to this mix! Throw it on during those late nights/early mornings and groove...



Lots of love,

[live] Beirut @ the Republic

this friday evening, before heading to a sold out bonnaroo, one of my favorite folk bands of all time, Beirut, will be performing at the Republic in the CBD. the band is currently on tour to support their third studio album, the Rip Tide, which is set for release on August 30. Zach Condon and company will be share the stage with Twin Sister, a quintet from brooklyn who seems to open for personal favorites every time they play in Nola (last year they opened for Devendra at the House of Blues).

Don't miss out on this show, and get your tickets early over @ the Republics website; I predict a sell out.
check out a few Beirut songs below, including the title track from their latest single release,"East Harlem."
