Boots Electric

The next best thing to a new Eagles of Death Metal release – a Boots Electric (aka Jesse Hughes aka Eagles of Death Metal dude) solo album. Man, I know it’s gonna be good and rockin’ and funky. For pete’s sake, Money Mark is involved!! It’s a wait worth waiting, ya know … but giddy up tiger.Bring on that Honkey Kong. 

Jungle By Night

Progressive upbeat afrobeat/groove jazz from Amsterdam. Lots of flavor and funk. Into their energy and refreshing innovations. Certainly check out their blog, it’s a great read about their journey as a band and you get a real sense of their love for music. Here’s the song that got me hooked (I stumbled upon it while “researching” E.T. – as in the extra-terrestrial – … when you have kids, you end up reading about the most random shit). Listen up to their new album – you’ll dig it, hard. Swear.

Aretha

Listening to this song as I was taking my kids to school this morning, I got all crazy teary eyed. She knows how to work it. Love.

Del the Funky Homosapien

Like it because it’s hard and gooo-ood. Love it because it’s some fresh, but still, classic Del. Listen up to Golden Era. Lotta great tracks. “One Out of a Million” is crazy good.

Cults

Throwback reverbed vocals combined with a wall of pop sounds. Makes for a nostalgic summer day feeling on many of their tunes.
This video, is pure genius. Love it lots.

Mayer Hawthorne

Watch the entire video. WATCH IT …’cuz it’s funny.

Love this man.

Beirut

From Beruit’s new single. Glorious and intoxicating. It is the sound they do so well. Carries me away every listen.

The Greg Foat Group

Get your psychedelic groove mind on.  Yeah … you did just watch and hear that. Check out Dark Is The Sun for more funky electronic jazz psychedelia. Worth it. He’ll take you there. Crazy instrumentation.
