Freddie Gibbs & Pill 3:16

Watch Freddie Gibbs and Pill double up on some of that gritty, dirt under the nails, bricks in the trunk, don’t visit us at home hip-hop that hark ens back to a time when it still felt good to be a gangsta.

Watch
Active Child

You'll want to witness the otherworldly falsetto and harp picking of Active Child for yourself because if someone tried to tell you that people could sing and play like this, you wouldn’t believe them.

Watch
Tame Impala

The awesome Aussies of Tame Impala take their spaced-out psych rock to the sun-soaked woods of Santa Cruz for a heady performance of "Solitude is Bliss" and "Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind"

Watch
Delta Spirit

Head up Highway 101 to Prairie Sun Studios for a candid look at The Delta Spirit knee-deep into the making of their new album "History From Below"

Watch
Toro y Moi

In less than 3 hours, Toro y Moi recorded piano, drums, bass, guitar, rhodes, and vocals (in that order) for this live re-make of “You Hid,” tracking each instrument only once and rarely asking for a playback of what was just recorded. It’s one of those sessions you warn yourself not to forget.

Watch
Quadron

Like Lykke Li? How bout Little Dragon? If you’re a yes, prepare to fall fast for Danish duo, Quadron, and this vivid version of the slow-burning ballad "Herfra Hvor Vi Står"

Here, Fergus & Geronimo charge through “Powerful Lovin’” — a garage rocked doo-wop with enough soul to spare.

Fergus & Geronimo’s “Tell It In My Ear” is available in limited supply via Transparent Blog, who also premiered the above video. Thanks guys.

Getting in touch with the Teenage Cool Kids wasn’t easy. Luckily I triangulated their position by reaching out to the good folks at Transparent Blog in hopes that they might have a line on the boys from Denton, and they did. The band set up for a quick session at Different Fur where they ran through a rawking version of “Foreign Lands” from their album of the same name. New internet friends, the Weekly Tape Deck, premiered this video over at their lair, pay them a visit, and be nice, or we’ll find out.
