It’s been four (long) years since Rolling Blackouts was released and I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear new music from The Go! Team this year. Definitely a highlight. No other artist/band can pull off what they do with cheerleader chants, samples, guitar riffs, hip hop beats, and so much more.

♩ The Go! Team – Blowtorch [from The Scene Between]

Father John Misty’s follow up to 2012’s Fear Fun has to be one of the best sophomore releases in quite some time. This is one of those albums I can listen to completely over and over again. The lead-off/title track perfectly sets the tone and hooks me overtime. On another note, I was lucky enough to see Misty live for the second time this year (thanks honey bunny). One of the best live acts these days. Do yourself a favor and catch a show if you can.

♩ Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear [from I Love You, Honeybear]

Not only was First Day of Camp some of the best TV I enjoyed all year, it was packed full of fun and memorable tunes.

p.s. Oh how I wish “Electro City” was a real broadway musical.

♩ Craig Wedren & Isaac Carpenter – I Am a Wolf, You Are The Moon [from Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp]

Josh Tillman (aka Father John Misty) co-wrote the video (starring Brett Gelman and Susan Traylor) with his wife Erin Tillman and co-directed with Grant James. I Love You, Honeybear is one of the best LPs i’ve heard all year and available now on Sub Pop.
