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.

Best Singles of 2015

The infectious stuff I couldn't get enough of in 2015:











The Weekend, I Can't Feel My Face - MJ should sue.


The Chemical Brothers, Wide Open -  Beck's coming with us. Put the top down.


Carly Rae Jepson, Run Away With Me - The "Call Me Maybe" girl could secretly be Grimes.


Boxed In, Mystery - Everybody, double time.


Ryley Walker, Primrose Green - This must have been left off the Dead's "Europe 72."


Eryka Badu, Cel U Lar Device - She's covering Drake's Hotline Bling, but in her Badu way.


City and Color, Lover Come Back - Heartbreak in technicolor.


El Vey, Return to the Moon - Matt Berringer in a rare lighter moment.


Alabama Shakes, Don't Wanna Fight - A nasty little groove with a Stones "Black and Blue" era bite.


Matt Simons, Catch and Release - Pure pop pleasure.



Jamie XX, Loud Places - "I feel music in your heights." The peak.
