Daily Jam - Rain On

I can't remember what made me think of it the other day, but it occurred to me how long i've been doing this blog, and what kind of stuff i was listening to back then when i started.  And how all that stuff is over 10 years old now.  And how that makes me feel so very, very old.  Anyway, here's Woods with "Rain On," our Daily Jam.

RIP Olivia Newton-John

I was a kid in the '80s, and i have a sister who's 5 years older than me, so Olivia Newton-John was a pretty permanent fixture in our household, be it her solo pop work, or "Xanadu," or "Grease."  Especially "Grease."  So it was pretty jarring this afternoon to hear that the artist passed away today from breast cancer.  I have a lot of fond memories of listening to her songs and watching her movies with my sister.  Here's a track from "Grease."  RIP Olivia Newton-John.


Sister Wives

Here's some great, psych-tinged garage rock from Sheffield, England's Sister Wives.  Check out "Greater Place" below and pre-order the upcoming "Y Gawres" LP here.


Panda Bear & Sonic Boom

Panda Bear seems to have been making the rounds lately, and that's probably because he has a new album on the horizon, this time around as a collaborative effort with Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom.  Quirky psych pop sounds abound.  Check out the video for "Edge of the Edge" below and pre-order the upcoming "Reset" LP here via Domino.


Daily Jam - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

I'm currently reading "Endless Endless: A Lo-Fi History of The Elephant 6" by Adam Clair, so i envision a lot of Olivia Tremor Control and Apples In Stereo listening in my immediate future.  And Neutral Milk Hotel, probably the most critically successful of the bunch.  Here's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," our Daily Jam.

Suede

Here's another new track from the upcoming new album by Suede...or The London Suede if ya nasty.  Check out "15 Again" below and be on the lookout for the "Autofiction" LP in September on BMG.  Pre-order it here.


Daily Jam - Your Woman

I probably haven't thought about it much since then, but there was a brief moment in time during my senior year of high school when this song was everywhere.  Just inescapable.  Here's White Town with "Your Woman," our Daily Jam.
