Today’s 19th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is a classic track from the 80′s and one of my personal all time favorites called ‘No New Tale To Tell’ by the now legendary ‘Love and Rockets’. Over time the lyrics in this song have really proven to be useful and applicable in life, providing even more guidance than [...]

Today’s 16th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is a track called ‘Stillness Is The Move’ by the Art pop group ‘Dirty Projectors’. The video was shot on location on Mount Equinox in beautiful Vermont and with the help of some Siberian huskies, some rare llamas and few really great sweaters that would make any well seasoned [...]

Today’s 15th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is by the impossibly strange and unique Jamaican band ‘Major Lazer’. Seeded with odd sound effects that seem to be sampled from a $25 Casio and visually assisted by retro G.I. Joe or HE-MAN-esque action figure commercial footage from the 1980s this video is an undeniable trip to the senses. [...]

Today’s 14th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is by Brooklyn based chamber-pop band ‘Grizzly Bear’.

Some days it was orange, others it was yellow or a [...]

Today’s 11th ‘Midweek Music Bump’ is an excerpt from Pitchfork’s A>D>D series. I don’t have to mention the fact that few bands have influenced so many others like Sonic Youth. Their innovative delivery of fluid electrostatic rock drawl will forever inspire the next-gen bands who bravely attempt to be about half as cool.

“Radios play nothing [...]

This week we celebrate our 10th installment with ‘Kids’ by ‘MGMT’. I had a tough time deciding which video to go with this week b/c there are so many new bands that I have recently come across. In the end it seems my mind supported the “oddity vote” -> the super-traumatized screaming baby + alien [...]

I’ve started to post music every Wednesday in an effort to keep the week rolling (We’ll see how long this lasts). Here’s how I’ll call it out, “Band X -> Midweek Music Bump”. I’m pretty much doing it already, I may as well make it “a thing”. Right? I’m not looking to create a theme [...]
