Can’t get enough of the vocals in the song. Truly mesmerizing.
♩ Twin Limb – Workhorse [from Haplo]
Shimmering and insouciant pop track. First-rate throwback sound. Super relatable lyrics that make me want to have an all night adventure.
♩ Mass Gothic – Every Night You’ve Got to Save Me [from Mass Gothic]
Sex music for hipsters and I absolutely love it.
♩ Wet – It’s All in Vain [from Don’t You]

Great cover of The Eyes’ classic, “When The Night Falls,” by the Brooklyn trio BOYTOY. Stream the track below and catch the band live if you can swing it. BOYTOY’s latest EP, Grackle, is available now via PaperCup Music.
bed. released one of my favorite EPs (klickitat) and songs (“Billy Joel”) this past year. So needless to say, I can’t wait to hear what’s next from the Portland based, slow-fi maestros. This new track, “Girl,” is the first from their upcoming debut full-length album.
If you’re in Portland next week, the band will celebrate the single’s release on December 15th at Crystal Ballroom.

What are your favorite new releases this week?
A few of my favorite covers from this past year…
Weezer and Wavves teamed up earlier this year for a limited-edition split 7″ that features an unreleased Weezer track and Wavves’ take on “You Gave Your Love To Me Softly.” This song was originally released back in the 90s for the Angus soundtrack (great soundtrack btw and a super underrated movie) and is actually my favorite Weezer song. This Wavves version is super fun and really well done.
♩ Wavves – You Gave Your Love to Me Softly (Weezer cover) [from Weezer x Wavves 7” Split]
♩ Chrissy & Hawley – A Little Respect [from A.V. Undercover Season 7]
GIRLS has always utilized good music, but this track was absolutely perfect for the scene/episode. One of the best Bowie covers I’ve ever heard.
♩ AURORA – Life on Mars [from Girls, Vol. 3 (Music From The HBO Original Series)]
♩ Har Mar Superstar – When You Were Mine [from A.V. Undercover Season 7]
