I had the opportunity to listen to the latest album from the Canadian group Copilots. Sunstroke is an odd title for an album because none of the songs are painful to the touch but might make you delirious as some jangly trippy music washes over you.

I stumbled on to this live performance of Sun Kil Moon’s “By The Time That I Awoke” and I quite liked it. The minimal accompaniment and slightly off voice all work together for me. Haunting would be a word I would use to describe it.
I’m really digging this song from the California indie rock band Foxygen. ‘How Can You Really’ is from their latest album ‘…And Star Power’ released in October 2014.

The other night on Late Night with Seth Meyers I got a chance to hear La Roux, a band from the UK, and I loved the music. I really loved a song that wasn’t used on the show.
While checking out the guest list for the Monday 11/18 edition of the Late Show with David Letterman, I noticed the musical guest was listed as Luscious Jackson. What?? They were one of my favorite bands back in the late 90s and I thought they broke up years ago. Sure enough they released their first album in 14 years titled ‘Magic Hour’ and it is as great as their albums back in the day. I’m deeply in love with the track they played Monday night ‘Are You Ready’.

I was following my usual Saturday night routine. Watched “Promo West Live!” and searched YouTube for a video for a band that caught my fancy. Well this past Saturday I found Love Grenades by accident and I fell in love with their music. I have wore out this particular clip titled “Young Lovers” and I hope you won’t be able to get it out of your head.

On Wednesday the rock band R.E.M released a statement announcing they would be ending the band after 31 years together. I “met” the band through my college roommate Mike. He played the album “Murmur” for me and I was hooked. “Green” was one of the first CD’s I bought when I was able to afford a CD player (I’m old kids). I love all their songs and albums but if I was forced to choose, these three would be at the very top of the list.
