chiddy bang: ray charles

i've got a fun new track for you courtesy of chiddy bang. this is the first single off the upcoming Breakfast album. about the song, chiddy says

"The song actually started out as a joke when my brother, Cheeseburger Don, got so high he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on. I looked over and he reminded me of Ray Charles, probably because I was high, too. I started freestyling about him and we laid it down right there."

if that isn't motivation enough to listen to it, i don't know what is.

have a terrific tuesday!

the black keys: run right back

in the event that this link doesn't work, google it my friend. you definitely don't want to miss the b-side to lonely boy. the black keys can do no wrong in my book and this track is no exception. with their classic southern rock growl you'll be swinging through friday like a badass.

the staves: mexico EP

i'm really liking these british girl's music. they got a laura marling type of sound that goes perfectly with the cooler weather.

ceremonials.

florence + the machine's new album 'ceremonials' is just wonderful. i hated it at first but eventually it grew on me. you definitely gotta download it! my favorite tracks besides the singles are: Never Let Me Go, Lover to Lover, No Light, No Light, and Spectrum.
