New: Father John Misty


Father John Misty, formally the drummer from The Fleet Foxes a.k.a J. Tillman, has recently broken away from the mellow stylings of his former band and discovered some sort of pent-up musical energy that he now releases willingly under the alias of FJM. I managed to catch the group opening for Youth Lagoon in Vancouver last weekend and they almost stole the show completely as Tillman gyrated and pranced around stage, clearly enjoying being out from behind the drum kit and being able to connect with the audience. To back up the solid live performance FJM has released a very nice debut album with a completely drug-affected front cover (above). Please see below for the two stand-out tracks... Enjoy

New: Chase Moore


Another member of my musically talented family, my cousin Chase Moore is a rapper/producer living in California who was born and raised back home in Melbourne, Australia. Chase has steadily been building a name for himself battling on West Coast Grind Time, selling beats to fellow rappers, and producing tracks. His latest beat made me want to share with everyone, it features a brilliant sample from Florence & The Machine... Enjoy

New: Joey Bada$$


The new mixtape from this young NYC rapper is definitely worth checking out. Great production and some very talented verses almost makes you forget that you're listening to an 18 year old. The album name may be an homage to the time in hip-hop that Joey is trying to emulate, and he's doing a pretty good job of it too... Enjoy
