Happy Monday! Here’s a new track from Ernest Green aka Washed Out’s new album Within and Without. I love the song title which in Latin loosely translates to “love of fate”. Washed Out will be playing the Echoplex on July 8th with Class Actress opening.

So I went to see these guys last night at the beautiful Pantages Theater in Hollywood. It was my first time there & it was so nice! My Morning Jacket rocked it as always! Jim James & company played for nearly 2 1/2 hours. What a great show! Their light show was probably one of the best I’ve seen & I was sober. This track was great. They brought out the Watson Twins & another girl that I couldn’t identify to sing the back up part.

It’s been over 5 years since they released their 2nd album Black Cat John Brown which is still one my favourites! The Dutch band from Amsterdam are back with a new album called Unicorn Loves Deer. Here is the title track. It’s gets stuck in your head, well at least it does in mine.

Here’s a nice track from San Diego’s Dirty Gold. I hear it in my car on satelite radio sometimes & it always makes me happy while driving in L.A. I’ve been meaning to post but forgot about it until I heard it again. Enjoy!
