Eleven tunes I was smitten with this year…
“Jackie Blue” by AM & Shawn Lee, Celestial Electric
Pure 70s, funky pop
“You Were Never There” by Diego García, Laura
Beatlesy hammock music
“Bedouin Dress” by Fleet Foxes, Helplessness Blues
Desert wanderers in perfect harmony
“State Of The Art” & “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye, Making Mirrors
An eclectic Australian (real name Wally), good at sick beats and quirky pop
“Big Burned Hand” by Iron & Wine, Kiss Each Other Clean
A loose big band hymn, horny
“How Deep Is Your Love” by The Rapture, In the Grace of Your Love
Walk into the club like you own the place.
“A Time For” by Lack of Afro, This Time
Old school Al Green, howling in the alley shooting dice
“Midnight City” by M83, Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming
Driving along the pacific coast highway in 1986
“This Old Dark Machine” by James Vincent McMorrow, Early in the Morning
The Irish Bon Iver, a quieter Van Morrison
“For 12” by Other Lives, Tamer Animals
My favorite, spaghetti western soundtrack bliss
