A Turntable Goes Better With…

Want to be forever cemented as the coolest aunt/uncle/mom/dad/friend to a teenager? Get them a turntable. Then save everyone’s sanity with a pair of headphones. Bonus points for including a classic album, like The Beatles’ Abbey Road.

Mates of State: Palamino

More music I’ve been loving lately. Mates of State played a show in Chicago last Friday, and they played every single song I would have wanted them to. (Thanks, guys! Just for me, right?) Palamino is the opening track on their newest album, Mountaintops.

I’ve seen Jens Lekman a couple of times, but he’s playing a show again tonight in Chicago for which I was unable to get tickets.

Heads up: there is some profanity.

If you like Jens Lekman, perhaps you’d like to check out his Facebook page? Also, buy his albums of course.

Eleanor Friedberger : My Mistakes

My Eleanor likes music from this Eleanor. (Me too.)

Christmas Chip-Tunes

Brandon (who normally doesn’t like Christmas music) told me about this and I thought it was such genius I had to share. Christmas music. Done in chip-tunes. In the style of various old games.

Awesome.

Download it here: 8-Bit Jesus.
