Wise Blood has got a knack for mixing all over the place generes into some feel good music. It’s light, it’s happy and it is the perfect summer blend. His EP, titled “+” is available for free download on his Bandcamp. Below is a song off his next EP which isn’t coming out until August, enjoy!

2 ALL THE GIRLS WHO HAVE TRUSTED ME by Wise Blood

Jacksonville’s Unouomedude (pronounced: you know you owe me dude) has released his EP, Marsh, which he's described as a “summer pop record… that captures a few different types of sun-drenched pop.” He also claims that all of the songs “were inspired by dreams, memories, and places.”
I agree. Both his songs and his Tumblr are pretty dreamy. Download Marsh off his Bandcamp.

Delorean’s back at it with their latest single for Subiza, “Real Love”

Delorean- Real Love by matadorrecs

The Aussie’s are just killin it this month, first ceo’s new jam, then Tortoiseshell, now check out this new track “OOOO” from the Sydney based group FISHING. I’m keeping this one on repeat to channel some of that island feel my way!


The Very Best came out with their album Warm Heart of Africa in 2009. I first got wind of them last summer via their track “Yalira” but after a recent re-listen, I think that “Julia” might the perfect upbeat late night summer jam.

Neon Indian’s “6669” trippy stop motion video. Featuring some type of gourd and weird spider. I kinda like it.

A chill little ditty from the Aussie group Tortoiseshell

“Tortoiseshell! A musical squad of dudes, cousins, and brothers. Making music for the sand pit, island sojourn, disco or pastel bedroom. Their conga cuts, energy and high spirits map a vast vista of pop taking in many mediums and times.”

Tortoiseshell feat. Canyons - This Girl by stephanienaday


The Klaxons have always got something interesting up their sleeve.




Banksy’s “Exit through the Gift Shop” started screening in April and is finally making its way across the US throughout the rest of the summer. Get amped on that.

While we were out...

Hope everyone had a savage Fourth.

Stumbled across this gem not too long ago from Charlottesville, VA’s Evenings. “Friend” sounds like it could be played nicely in rotation with the likes of other southern groovers like Toro y Moi and Washed Out.

Download this and the rest of the songs on their EP, North Dorm, here.

The newest track from Cults is here, “Oh My God” is available for free as part of Adult Swim’s 8 Singles in 8 weeks feature. Cults are one of my favorite groups of 2010, they’ve got this catchy-popness that makes you feel good inside.  The video for “Oh My God” (below) features their front-woman, Madeline, in a crazy, tripped out balloon costume that looks like something you’d see in a coral reef.


ceo has also got something new for ya. “Everything Is Gonna Be Alright” (available for download here). It’s got a nice, savage jungle sound to it.

D-Rod’s Savage Summer Wish List…

So, I’ve been working my ass off trying to make rent and rage on PBRs at the same time which has gotten pretty taxing. I know it is the cool thing these days to be “poor” and dress like a homeless person. I guess that’s what’s “in” right now, but this is a lifestyle I’ve been living for quite some time. So I wanted to drop a little D-Rod summer wish list/survival guide of things that will make your summer even more savage than it already is.

-You’ve gotta have your gear ready for the beach. I stick to board shorts when I’m on the beach or at the pool, and the kind that look like jorts are where it’s at. 
Volcom has a pair called the “fixie mod”, go figure:

This pair by INSIGHT are even better, these things are the tits:

-In the spirit of summer, you’ve got to have some nice kicks. I myself have never been a huge sneaker head, but if I had the dollars I would grab a pair of these Miami Vice Reebok Pumps. I think Miami is pretty white trash, but these shoes are insane.

-As for shirts, it doesn’t really matter because it is going to be off by the end of the night anyways. The less fabric the better for those days of sweating and swilling PBRs for hours on the beach. That is why I am only wearing tank tops this summer, vintage if I’m lucky enough to find them. Urban Outfitters usually has some pretty good deals on tanks. These were pretty big in Australia when I was there a few years back, and if you’ve ever met an Aussie you know those fuckers are crazy, so I’m down.

-Of course you must have your headphones at all times. These are my dream headphones, Beats by Dr. Dre, you see every athlete in the world rockin these things. So somebody out there please buy me these!

-And finally, I might be broke, but I will ALWAYS have the newest iPhone. So if you don’t already know, get in line for the new one at any Apple Location!

HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE!

juan more day till the weekend.

Not quite savage.  Simple, yet enticing.
