I couldn’t have crafted a more bizarre yet inspiring playlist myself. Psychedelic folk heroes Akron/Family are sharing their extensive music tastes with all of you by offering this jam packed 71-minute long playlist including some folk classics, blues jams, soulful songstresses, and Ice Cube? Hey I never said it was your average playlist! After all, this is Akron/Family we’re talking about. Enjoy!

(for the record: that Harvey Milk song is great!)

I forgot how much I loved this guy. Dark atmospheric electronic music will always have a special place in my heart.

Odd Nosdam – Fat Hooks

Taking indie rock by storm yet again; +/- are back with their fun and dreamy album, Xs on Your Eyes.

+/- – Snowblind

“It took me years for these words,” Bound Stems lead vocalist Bobby Gallivan hollers, “years to admit I was RIGHT!” Probably one of my favorite songs of the year.

Bound Stems – Happens to Us All Otherwise

With his lazy acoustic melodies and relaxing vocals, Palenville, NY’s A.A. Bondy paints the upstate NY picture so well. Personally growing up in that region, I hear something familiar. It sounds like home.

A.A. Bondy – There’s a Reason

Wilderness is music for those of you who want a soundtrack to the calm of a Sunday evening. They create building psychedelic landscapes and move you slowly without you knowing the journey they have taken you on. Pack lightly…

Wilderness – Strand The Test of Time

Indie pop never sounded so beautiful and loving. It didn’t take long for me to enjoy Deerhoof’s new album. If you listen you’ll understand why.

Deerhoof – Offend Maggie

Since Death From Above 1979 won’t be coming back anytime soon, we at least have ex-drummer/vocalist Sebastien Grainger to enjoy. More soulful and less insane than DFA79, it’s a nice addition to this lush year of new music.

Sebastien Grainger & The Mountains – By Cover of Night (Fire Fight)

“We Work On Columbus Day Weekend” Playlist

I kind of laugh to myself when people ask me, “Hey what are you doing this Columbus Day weekend?” When I say I have to work, they usually give me that look like I just dented my car. “Oooo, bummer dude.” It’s no big deal when it comes down to it. Weekends lose their meaning when you have a schedule like mine. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m not even sure how to ‘observe’ Columbus Day. Well there’s always Indigenous Peoples Day. Hooray oppression!

 Mates of State – My Only Offer

 Department of Eagles – No One Does It Like You

 Hayden – Where and When
