Kins - Break Ties
You’re gonna wanna get all over this fresh track uploaded not more than a few hours ago from the new Brighton, UK homebase of this Melbourne-bred band led by Thomas Savage.
Kins will be picked out from the vast bunch of talented inventive folk on sheer cause of the lyrical poison of their vocalist, the potency of the aforementioned vocalist’s voice and the breaktaking background musicianship (the guitar goes off on a whirlwind adventure in the song’s closing section). All boxes are ticked and ‘Break Ties’ has all the makings of a hype-track. And to think it’s come from my very doorstep.

Death Race 2012!
The One-Minute Q+A With Dan SavageOK, technically one question and a quick follow-up. GQ’s Death Race 2012 correspondent Marin Cogan checked in with the man who redefined the word “Santorum”:
GQ: What do you make of Santorum’s last minute surge in Iowa?
He was and remains a vanity candidate—he’s running for four more years as a Fox News talking head. He’s this year’s Huckabee, and Roger will reward Rick like he rewarded Mike: with a talk show to call his own. And a deal to write a steady stream of books about how Obama turned the greatest country in the whole history of the whole world into a stinking socialist shithole. But Rick is going to do fine in Obama’s socialist shithole. He’s going to rake it in. He’s not going to do any actual governing, however, and thank God, but he’ll never have to work again.
GQ: Between Santorum and Perry, are you ready to redefine the name Rick?
Savage: Already redefined Rick: it means to remove with your tongue. So “Rick Santorum” is actually a sentence now, not a name.
Wait What, Mouthful Of Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Kanye West vs Phantogram)
REALLY could Charlie Kubal stop being so awesome. Okay that’s just me joking because his glorious Wait What Wednesdays make humpday the best day of the week. Mouthful Of Diamonds was the song way back when that made me fall in love with Phantogram and to hear it mashed with Kanye West’s “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” is perfection. PERFECTION.
Canyons, When I See You Again (from the album “Keep Your Dreams”)
Well Australian production duo Canyons’ album “Keep Your Dreams” has so many eargasms to obsess over on it. I’m pretty smitten with When I See You Again. Seriously think what would happen if Friendly Fires and David Gray had a love child!? Yep you’d get “When I See You Again.” If you are digging Canyons you can stream all of “Keep Your Dreams” over at Soundcloud! Keep Your Dreams is out 11/15 in the US.
Exactly how disappointed would Ron Swanson be if you wore a mask of him? … Very.
