simply LOVE the music video for Devil Fool by Be Brave Benjamin directed by Pablo Maestres. so beautifully shot, and an awesome concept… it’s strangely fun to watch people teetering on the precipice of disaster.

a wonderful reader, Heather, put me onto to Brooklyn based songstress Sydney Wayser, whose new album Bell Choir Coast is, simply put, track after track of RAD. have a listen to Potions below (the video premiered on Time entertainment last week) and be sure to buy her entire album here.
boy oh boy have i been getting a lot of emails, tweets and comments from people hinting that i need to put together another music mix soon. the last one i posted was back in march, and for that i’m sorry – but you see, i have been without a steady internet connection for about 10 weeks (!!) until i finally managed to get internet hooked up in my flat this week. cue: yay. many, many yays.
so i’ve been catching up on what’s been released in the past while, which is always enjoyable. amongst this batch of new tunes is a new passion pit track, which i was really excited for because i LOVED manners – i played that album non-stop when it came out back in 2009. take a walk is quite a different direction for them… i don’t know how i feel about it yet, but i threw it in anyway.
one of my favourite new discoveries has to be TV Girl – and here’s some most excellent news: you can download their entire album for free at stereogum.
i also posted a couple of these tracks over at Noonday Tune, a collaborative music blog by twitter pal Rowan who has rounded up 9 south african twitter folk to contribute a track a day at noon local time – the perfect accompaniment to the sound of cape town’s noon day gun.
so, what new stuff have you been listening to? i’d love to know.

The Parlour Suite sent me an email to tell me about their new album Everyone’s Looking which is dropping this coming weekend. i can’t tell you how flattered i am to be approached by talented people making good music.
The Parlour Suite is the surf-pop project, formed by Mpls (Minneapolis) husband-wife team, Joel and Inga Roberts, and supported on drums by Joshua Perez. The stories in the album are reflective of the cityscapes & sun soaked beaches that our tours have brought us to. Skateboarding on the boardwalk in Venice Beach & flipping thru CD’s at Earwax Records in Brooklyn. The songs are a bit of an escape from the winters in Mpls. We are set to hit the road with the album in April… bringing the songs back to the cities & places that are woven throughout the record.
a lovely album to listen to on a spring day – since the northern hemisphere is starting to thaw and flowers are beginning to bloom… i’m sure you guys are going to enjoy this. listen to it here or press play below.
first of all i have to say a huge THANK YOU to my blogger pals who were so generous in helping out with their wonderful guest posts while i was moving. i know everyone enjoyed having them around (and it was nice having a different perspective around here for a little while).
i still don’t have internet at my new place – but i am begging, borrowing and stealing a connection wherever possible. while i catch up on what’s been happening online i thought i’d make up for my absence with a new music mix, a pretty mellow electronica tinged affair to help ease you into the weekend.
