Courtney Barnett - Avant Gardener

Stella

This is my homegirl Stella.  She hates everybody.  So I made this picture series of her, inspired by Cherub's "Doses and Mimosas", a song that she loves.    

James Wallace and the Naked Light

psychedelic folk from Nashville's James Wallace and the Naked Light.  

Heart Beats

Decided to make a new little section on here for the electronic music that I'm liking.  More to come.  

Moderate - Bad Kingdom (from II) 

Mount Kimbie - Made To Stray (from Cold Spring Fault Less Youth)

San Fermin - Sonsick

it's a summer kind of sickness

Grey Reverend

Discovered Grey Reverend through Bonobo's stunning new record The North Borders, where he's featured as the vocalist on opening track "First Fires". "My Hands" is currently getting the obsessive repetitive play treatment over here. Looks like you can snag his new EP over at iTunes starting July 30th, and a new full length will hit September 2nd from Warp.   

Summer 2013 BBQ Playlist

This started as a little collaborative playlist between a friend and I back when "Get Lucky" first came out.  It was the early days of Spring, still shitty and raining all the time (wait, is that over yet?) and with the first Daft Punk single just released, there was a lot of g-chatter of "this is gonna be the song of the summer!" and "this is gonna be the best summer ever!", which lead to a discussion of this hypothetical BBQ at which this song would play, which lead to this playlist. Little did we know at that time that "Get Lucky" would become an omni-present pulse emanating from every bodega and cat-calendar-hanging-top-40-playing cubicle in the country. Regardless, that track remains on the playlist, along with around 70 other tracks released since the start of 2012 that we felt like playing at this imaginary BBQ. Its still growing, still changing, but as the 4th of July approaches, we here at MySundaySweater headquarters hope you enjoy the vibe.  Pour yourself a drink, hit shuffle and let it play. 

The Virgins - Strike Gently

This record makes me want to be the frontman of a band.  I want to stand center stage, staring blankly at the audience, a cigarette hanging loosely from the corner of my mouth, only my hips jerking ever so slightly to the beat while I croon disinterestedly and cooly at my adoring fans.  Also, in this scenario, I have hair, a full lustrous head of hair. Fucking conditioner commercial hair. . . 

Favorite records of 2013 so far. . . .

List time! The first half of 2013 has proved fruitful for new releases, including some super high profile records from the likes of Daft Punk, My Bloody Valentine, Vampire Weekend, and more.  For some reason all those records are collecting dust for me, and I'm hoping to give them the time they deserve before the year comes to a close. Instead, the records below are the ones that I have come back to repeatedly this year, the ones that, for reasons I'm too lazy to investigate, I can't seem to stop playing.
