NPR's top 100 from 2012

Found a couple of things that piqued my interest after checking the list...heard a few things this morning on the radio so I went and looked up their picks:



Their pick from this is Mulata (which I need to hear in it's entirety) but this track Mala is dark and ominous. Interesting mood music.




On Epitaph...yes, really!




So beautifully sweet




play this loud. :)




kinda fun poppy number





She sounds like Sade you say? Sure, I'll take a listen...



St Vincent & David Byrne? well, yeah....didn't expect all the horns, but I like em





not sure how much I like this, but it IS some next level shit yo...at least for me.




they certainly like these 80's sounding joints...this is kinda fun :)

and finally...




I didn't listen to everything on the list, but I got through most of them. Let me know what else you're liking :)

Hi Sessions

I caught an episode of this show while I was home and really liked it. Nice recording set up for the live performances. I enjoyed the Young The Giant version of this song (catchy) but here, stripped down, the lyrics really shine through more so than the bombastic original.
