Sunday Hi-5: Still Corners, Noble Lake, Class Actress, Brando Biondo, and Vehicle Blues

sunday hi-5

Sunday…one more day left of vacation.  Time to reflect – hot, humid, and strenuous, but also lush and enjoyable time in DC for the fourth.  A chill Wednesday. Hot and humid, but also rainy and lovely/memorable time at Hershey Park.  The little one experienced his first love of amusement park rides.  Really Hershey Park is a place every one should go to at least once.  Beats any other amusement park hands down, because its full of CHOCOLATE folks – cannot beat that.  Also we were there for about 5 hours on Friday when a serious storm pretty much shut down the park – what did they do?  Give everyone free ticket vouchers to come back at another day – on the house.  Pretty rad.  So here’s to you vacation/DC/Hershy Park – a five pack of songs to show my appreciation of the good times.

Ahh…the best time of the year…Vacation.  A time to enjoy life, catch up on sleep, travel, and generally have a good time from morning ’til night.  Also it’s a time to pop off the headphones, plug in the speakers, call up the posse and let loose with some choice vibes…

Sunday Hi-5: Poor Spirits, Jimmy Morris, Slime, Thundercat, and The Fabulous St. Knicholas Cage

Its Sunday, more importantly it’s Fathers Day – a day I get to do whatever I want (within reason).  So my order of business is: Run.  Eat. Massage. Shop. Eat. Watch baseball (this might get scratched because, lets face it, the O’s ain’t quite doing so hot). Open space.  And the good tunes for this lovely day will be streaming heavily and loud throughout.  Check a few right now:

Sunday Hi-5: Twin Sister, Inc., Dinosaur Feathers, Male Bonding, and Empress Hotel

Sunday hi-5

Whew what a hot week.  At least the coming one will supposedly be milder.  With the heat came busyness and craziness and of course a few drops of stress.  Perhaps the milder temps will produce …milder situations…or milder circumstances.  Yeah.  Mild.  Meanwhile, these songs aren’t necessarily mild, but they’re damn good:

mp3: Twin Sister – Bad Street | Website

mp3: Inc. – Swear | Website

mp3: Dinosaur Feathers – Please, Please George | Website

mp3: Male Bonding – Bones | Myspace

mp3: Empress Hotel – Mach Bach | Bandcamp

Sunday Hi-5: I And I, Caged Animals, Young Heel, Shabazz Palaces, and Idiot Glee

Is it me or is quality of music getting better and better as summer seeps in.  The last two weeks I’ve listened to more quality/favorite albums and singles than in the first 5 months of the year.  Maybe I’m over-exaggerating a bit.  Things come and go in waves – this one is just breaking hard and I love it.  Count these few as a few of the ripples in the tide:

mp3: I And I – Beekeeper | Website

mp3: Caged Animals – Girls On Medication | Bandcamp

mp3: Young Heel – Trouble’s At The Top | Bandcamp

mp3: Shabazz Palaces - Swerve… The reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding) | Website

Sunday Hi-5: Blackbird Blackbird, Digits, Moon Bounce, Viktor Longo, and A.P. Witomski

sunday hi-5

Now that the end of the world is over, we can all finally get back to the real important things in life…music.  I’ve been sitting here for the last few moments trying to come up with some sort of awesome post-apocalyptic theme for this fab 5 pack of songs, but either confusion or laziness took over and I’ve decided to just put up the usual – 5 recent jams that have been jamming hard on my jambox as of late.  JAM!

mp3: Blackbird Blackbird – Do Re Me | Bandcamp

mp3: Digits – Smooth Liar | Website

mp3: Moon Bounce – Sleeper’s Quarrel | Bandcamp

mp3: A.P. Witomski – Pandoraski | Bandcamp

mp3: Viktor Longo – Baby Sunshine | Soundcloud

Sunday Hi-5: POLLS, Girls Names, Paul White, Black Lips, and dirty white lines

Its been a hot second since the last one of these collections, but here I am again blasting out the songs that make me smile as of late.  Its a pretty eclectic selection this time ’round so they might not flow together seamlessly and all, but ain’t that how life is?  Beautiful.

mp3: POLLS – Mouth of a Fox | Bandcamp

mp3: Girls Names - Seánce on a Wet Afternoon | Blog

mp3: Paul White – Burnt By The Sun | Myspace
