Here’s some fun music. Obrint Pas sounds like ozomatli meets sublime. Really fun music. This is La Vida Sense Tu.

This is Admiral Fallow with Squealing Pigs. I don’t know what it is about Scottish music (Frightened Rabbit, We were promised jetpacks), but I like it
Dan Baker lends a lot of his sound to Tom Waits, but in a gooooood way. This is a damned good song. This is 365 Days.
Continuing the Classic Rock Revival mood is Cold War Kids with Louder than Ever. cc: @coldwarkids
Classic Rock Revival is coming. Example 1, The Cave Singers with At the Cut. cc: @thecavesingers
Have you heard of The Generationals? @generationals This is Faces in the Dark. Pay attention! New album streaming on KCRW http://bit.ly/evaxsw
Fun track by wesafari. This is 1300 Matchbox.
Wait… hang on. That’s the Jackass song. Nice! Calexico - Corona (The Damnations cover).
Keeping up the recovery tunes. Here’s Bonobo with Ghost Ship. Gorgeous mix of harp (?), piano and soft beats.
A little Quiet Brilliance for your Friday recovery morning. This is Skver with Ena.
Here’s some Quiet Brilliance for your ear holes. This is Turtle Ambulance - Bueno Pues. Get their album for $5. It’s great.
New stuff by G. Love. Really fun track right here. This is Fixin’ to Die.
This is a little old-timey, but how can you not like the blues? Stefan Grossman - Memphis Jellyroll.
This guy’s voice reminds me of Sting… a little bit. The music surrounding it is really interesting to listen to. Elbow - High Ideals.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how you eloquently remix music. Take note. This is adamned.age remixing Firnwald’s thyrpass.
Maxence Cyrin does piano covers. They’re really good, but Arcade Fire’s No Cars Go works really well. ++film.
Sorry this is live, but if you can ignore that you’ll find a white boy with some serious vocals. Where did that come from? Adam Fitz - Last Summer.

A little Art vs Science to get you going this morning. This is Magic Fountain.
I thought I would cringe at this Seal cover, but hey, this is really good. Yeasayer with Crazy.

L’hymne au printemps – Fortin, Léveillé, Donato, Nasturica. Translation: Spring Song (or Song of Spring) by a great jazz quartet.
2004? How did I not catch Carol Bui in my musical net? This is really good, fun music. This is How I Recover.
Nice little cover by Rachel Sermanni. Beautiful voice. Nice guitar work. This is I Want You Back (Jackson 5 cover).
Don’t be scared. It’s just music. Mophono - Smile.
By far my favorite Four Tet track. This Unfolds is really a joy to listen to.
#40 on The Hype Machine’s Zeitgeist is The Morning Benders (I skipped a few). This is Promises.
A little more Menomena. This is TAOS. They’re #43 on the Hype Machine’s Zeitgeist.

Blitzen Trapper decided to throw in a song for the holidays. Christmas is Coming Soon is simple and wonderful.
Add in a little Charlie Brown before the night’s out. Christmas Time is Here.
You can’t have Christmas without a little Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This is The Silent Nutcracker.
Distortion is your friend. Say it with me. Slow Club - Christmas! (Baby Please Come Home).
Slow that stuff down, young stud. Pedro the Lion KILLS (in a good way) I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day. Excellent.
A little nerdy twist to the standard Sleigh Ride. These are the OneUps with Super Mario Sleigh Ride. Nerdy, but really, REALLY well done.
Here’s a song I have recently adopted into my Christmas playlist. Matt Pond PA with Snow Day. Perfect for the season, not just Christmas.
I’m not much of one for the more popular artists, but I can listen to anything during Christmas. This is Gavin DeGraw with Silver Bells.
You can’t have Christmas without The Drifters. This is White Christmas.
Let’s hear some Christmas music. First up is Belle & Sebastian with O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
Wall of sound. Face smash. Boogie on down…. maaaaaaan. Howlin’ Rain - Dancers at the End of Time
And now for something completely different… Tim Eriksen - Hope.

French rap! This is DSL.
Guess what? At 4 o’clock today I’m going to punch you in your face. Love The Streets.
Zaz - Dans ma Rue. I’m a sucker for French music. This girl’s distressed voice really resonates with me for some reason. I like it.
Missing this concert was depressing to say the least.

This is my calming wind. If you hear this around me you better leave me alone. ;-) Jason Mraz - A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.
Nice music for a cold, rainy day.
