The experimental, hip-hop sound of Ghostpoet‘s debut album Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam has become more and more a favorite since it’s 2011 release, but this Blackcab Session featuring an acoustic version of Survive It has me wishing he would record an acoustic version of his album.

This short, stop-motion film consisting of some pretty awesome animations of paper was created by Steven Briand during a two month internship at Partizan. It makes me want to go learn how to create stop-motion right now.

Rainy Day Listening: Junip – To The Grain (Live Session)

It’s another rainy day in Seattle which has me searching for those rainy day tunes. As a long time fan of Jose Gonzalez, I am a little embarrassed to say I am just recently starting to listen to Junip, but better late than never, right? The trio that is Junip consists of Gonzalez on guitar and vocals, Elias Araya on drums and keyboard player Tobia Winterkorn. With a sound very similar to Gonzalez’s solo work, they make for some great rainy day listening. Enjoy.

Music Monday: Theophilus London – Love is Real

This week’s Music Monday shout out goes to Theophilus London, a guy whose style I dig and whose album I have been listening to fairly non-stop for the past couple weeks. The latest video for his hit single “Love is Real” is also some of the latest work by the High 5 Collective that will take you through a night of romantic adventure and hopefully make your Monday that much better.

What are you listening to this week?
