Music Tuesdays - Coming of Age by Foster the People

New song by Foster the People that has a fun vibe to it.  They'll also be performing at Coachella this year.

Music Tuesdays - You're Not Good Enough by Blood Orange

Coachella Music Week - Countdown by Phoenix

Amongst my friends, Phoenix was the top draw (well, maybe tied with Eric Prydz). This performance from weekend 1 pretty much sums up why.

Coachella Music Week - Crystalised by The xx

Since I am awesome, I failed to realize that Coachella in fact start this past weekend (April 12-14) and not the prior weekend.  So there's that.

Anyway, now we are well and truly in Coachella Week.  To memorialize this, here is a song from the first album by The xx, a band we've enjoyed here at FIWK.  This one's for Monday, I'll add another pick for every day this week.

Any Coachella stories that intrigued from the past weekend?

Coachella Music Week - Time To Run by Lord Huron

Since I'm a big fan of Lord Huron, you absolutely knew that I would put them in Coachella music week lineup.  One of the bands I definitely would've seen were I at the festival.

Coachella Weekend Kickoff - King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men

Coachella starts this weekend, and we are going to post a bunch of songs by Coachella bands in order to commemorate the festival.  Of Monsters and Men is one of the bands playing the Friday session today.

Somehow we've never put up a song by Of Monsters and Men, but I personally enjoy their songs.  The song Little Talks is their big breakout on the radio; however, the song of theirs that I first heard is King and Lionheart, above.

Music Tuesdays - Trouble Town by Jake Bugg

This song is shared partly in honor of Coachella this weekend and next.  Jake Bugg of England will be a performer at Coachella.

Tangent - has a random song ever fit a brand's logo more appropriately than Jake Bugg's song "Lightning Bolt" fits this Gatorade commercial?  It's uncanny.

Tangent no. 2 - Also in honor of Coachella next week I'll be highlighting the artists performing there that we here at FIWK have enjoyed over the past year or so.  Are there are any artists playing Coachella that you'd be particularly excited to see?  Anyone you're surprised is on the bill?

Music Tuesdays - I'm On Fire by Shakey Graves

I just heard some songs by Shakey Graves recently, and I enjoy the minimalist, haunting, folk style.  He is another artist out of Austin, just like Gary Clark Jr. is, although their styles are quite different.

I predict Aaron will hate this song.

Coachella Week on FIWK - Bright Lights by Gary Clark Jr

To commemorate a the two weekends of Coachella beginning today, we're going to throw up a bunch of songs by artists playing Coachella. We also featured most of them on FIWK already at some point. You may remember another song, When My Train Pulls in by Gary Clark Jr, from a few weeks back. Love this guy.
