Cat Killer

Cat Killer is a solo project of a guy named Dylan that lives in Cleveland. Some people have referred to his music as "hazy, lo-fi beachside pop," but considering Cleveland doesn't exactly have the most picturesque beaches, I'd like to imagine that Dylan took a time machine back to a sunny San Diego beach in 1986 to record these beautiful tracks.

You may have to pump up the volume as these were undoubtedly ripped from a cassette that was baking in the dashboard of a car for just the right amount of time.

Brother's Keeper (Film)

So I'm thinking of making this thing into a music AND movies blog. People tend to tell me I have pretty good taste in music and movies (which I feel is quite the understatement), so why not?

Anyway, Brother's Keeper is a superb documentary from the early 90's that I recently discovered and highly recommend. It's about 3 hillbilly brother's who've been farming in the "backwoods" of New York their entire lives. When one of them is accused of killing the fourth (dead) brother, the events that follow are, well, just go watch the movie and you'll see what happens.

You can stream it from Netflix here

oOoOO

In case you didn't know, goth music is back, and it's making old timers like Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor go running home to their mommies for a cup of warm milk and a hug. I don't know much about this mysterious San Francisco-based group called oOoOO, except that they are making some seriously heavy haunted house type shit that reminds you of that time you were doing way too much blow off tombstones all night in that dark, eerie graveyard during a full moon.

Thanks to the friendly ghosts of oOoOO for emailing me these tracks:

MillionYoung

MillionYoung is a really talented dude from South Florida. His jamz are more crazysexycool than Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes setting NFL star Andre Rison's Georgia house on fire, and have more flayva than an entire buttload full of Shoop sauce. If you like blissed-out, hazy stoney beach bands like Washed Out and Toro y Moi, then you will like this. If you don't know who Washed Out and Toro y Moi are, well, then you probably have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about.

Dishwasher

Montreal-based solo project Dishwasher (aka Martin Cesar, pictured above with yamaka) has been one of my all around favorite musicians since 2005. He writes simple, honest, bittersweet pop songs that seem flawless in every way imaginable. Everyone I've ever introduced his music to pretty much falls in love with it immediately and subsequently wants to have his baby. Have a listen and you'll see what I'm talking about:

Tanlines

This is my very first post, and how fitting it is that I just got this AMAZING brand new EP titled "Real Life" from Brooklyn-based duo Tanlines. Their tracks kind of remind me of that tropical High Places/Lemonade sound, except these guys are about 100x more fun to listen to.

UPDATE - HAD TO TAKE THESE TRACKS DOWN, GOT A DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTIFICATION
