I just came across this little vid on the Dorkcast. It's Washed Out, now with some compadres fleshing out his latest songs. I gotta say, I wasn't sure if/how these chillwavers could translate their one man laptop brand to a live setting successfully, but indie hunk Eernie Greene did, and the results are stunning. Movies are rarely better than books, and live versions of songs are almost never better than their recorded counterparts, but in this case... I'm feeling this version, and I don't even like this song on the record! Laid back, mature, classy, not even chillwavey. Impressive. (excuse the lame screen shot)

welcome back summer

As of today I'm officially back and ready to enjoy what's left of my summer vacay, down to the last humid drop. who's up for BBQing? skinnydipping? hipster watermelon party in the backyard? ironic baby pools? chillbrave (chillwave for our troops)? seersucker suits? playing 'bones' on the porch with your bros? watching Eastbound and Down w/ your grandma? smoking dank? enjoying a summer concert series? bumpin Will Smith in your land cruiser? going down to the 'rock quarry'? listening to some Seal in your bathtub?

tell me, what do you guys wanna do?

Too Young?

The only reason you may have heard of Tyler, the Creator is.....

I'm not sure why the Youtube Title calls it a Tyler track, but the video says Earl...
but, I will say the only reason we haven't really heard this kid Earl yet, is because he's only 17 and in military school, and his moms won't release his music because of the vulgarity. So it's kinda like when Snoop was in Jail and when he got out he dropped Doggystyle....well, maybe..

But maybe this Earl kid (the higher voice and clearly the better rapper), has a chance, his flow kills, especially amongst the sea Odd Future crap.
