Life is complicated and busy. Did you notice? Keeping up with the music, movies and books that fed your youthful imagination and conversations is harder than ever, but even more important. Here's the good news: there's never been more great new stuff. The challenge is to find it.

So here are my highly opinionated views on sounds, sights and words that will help you keep it fresh and real, and links to the veins where the richest motherlodes can be found.

Feed your head.

Step Into Liquid

Pacific Standard Time by Poolside


If you lived in Los Angeles where all of the KCRW DJ's have this on their list of fav's for August, you wouldn't need me to put you wise to Pacific Standard Time.  Poolside is an unlikely pairing of a Dane and San Franciscan dedicated to daytime disco, rhythmic stuff that chugs along with a heavy bottom and an airy top. (Face it, we've all known someone like that, haven't we?)  

Pacific Standard Time is Poolside's debut album, after singles and mixtapes. Consistent from end to end, download all sixteen tracks fearlessly.   Hell, be old school and buy the damn CD for the car or that paint-spattered boom box you keep on the work bench in the garage.  You'll wear it out by Labor Day. 

But take note:  buried in the middle of this disk is a killer remake of Neil Young's Harvest Moon.  I double-dog-dare you to resist it.
