[Music Video] XXYYXX - About You

An end of the party song. If you like this also check out Good Enough over at [bandcamp]

[Music Video] Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Okay. Now that I have your attention. Ryan Lewis is the new Eminem except he's not a white trash piece of, well anyways, he's good. We've had him here- hit the search on the side, and this song has been around on the internets for a month. But it's too good not too put up.....ahhhh....piiiisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Music Video] Deep Sea Diver - NWO

This band is quickly becoming one of my new favorites. I haven't been able to turn their new album off repeat. Every song is beautiful- a great album to listen to during the imminent demise of the East Coast. Pick up their album over at [bandcamp]

[Music Video] Spirit Animal - Lead!

Another great song by Spirit Animal and another great video. This is a bit reminiscent of 1980s Red Hot Chillies. Head over to their website and pick up your free copy of "Love Crime" because that is banging too. [Spiritanimal.us]

The Finale

Hey everyone who still reads this little music blog that's been tucked away in the dusty corner of the internets.

Over the past year, I've had a really wonderful time posting on this site, meeting new people, and listening to all of their great music. But somewhere along the way, I felt like I was just going through the motions to find the next 'hit' song.

It's probably because it was only me posting to the site and I tried to get at least a song up a day, and with a full time job and family it became too much.

But I'm not going to leave you all empty handed. Come back on January 1st for my last postings - a brand new Best of 2011 mix.

Why should you care you ask?

Because you're sick and fucking tired of every single other list on the internet having 80% of the same songs.

Until then, look at check out my favorite site www.theBurningEar.com  for all the new tunes. And who knows? You might even see a post by me every now and then.

[Video] Eskmo - We Got More

I've only been to NYC once but this is how I remember it.

[Video] Fulton Lights - Staring Out the Window

Very very very clever. Congratulations to director Ninian Doff for this insanely entertaining video. I don't think I'll ever be able to look a crows the same way again.
