Music Tuesdays - Holy Roller by Thao and the Get Down Stay Down



It took me a little while to realize this is the same Thao [Nguyen] formerly of Thao & Mirah, whose songs I enjoyed.  Love the band name "the Get Down Stay Down".  I heard them perform this song on KCRW and I think I enjoy the energy of their live performance of the song a bit more than the record version, but this video just makes me smile.

Thao also has a really nice "Tiny Desk Concert at NPR Music" on YouTube that I enjoyed.

Music Tuesdays - Riptide by Vance Joy



I am really enjoying this as a nice start of summer song.  I wasn't familiar with this artist before hearing the song, but I'm interested in finding some more Vance Joy songs now.

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.

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.

Bonus Weekend Music - Lonesome Dreams by Lord Huron



I have been thoroughly enjoying this album, also called Lonesome Dreams, by band Lord Huron.  Many songs on there that I really dig.

Music Tuesdays - I've Handled Myself Wrong by Grace Woodroofe



Aaron you can skip this one - it's definitely a 'Royce special'

Music Tuesdays - Perth by Bon Iver



Another song from the recent Bon Iver album, which I've enjoyed quite a bit. If you didn't like any of the previous Bon Iver songs, don't bother listening to this one (Aaron).

Music Tuesdays - Calgary by Bon Iver



Bon Iver is one of my favorite recent artists, and in honor of the self-titled new album that comes out today, here is the first single they've released for it.

Music Tuesdays - Beg Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne



Douchey music alert: this is a very folksy, acoustic song... Aaron need not listen. Something about this song makes me feel like it should be in a cowboy movie.
