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.

January Gems

Deep winter is a time for crackling fires, rich food, and red wine.  For me, the ideal musical accompaniment are songs that weave a spell with a narrative or mood that commands attention.  Like these four new tracks.








Anderson.Paak - Am I Wrong - Because Mardi Gras is coming and your Stevie Wonder albums are all scratchy and stuff.

 

Raury, Friends - An irresistible hook and a stutter straight from "m-m-m-my generation."




Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Can't Keep Checking My Phone - Someone you care about needs to hear this beat and this advice.


Elaquent, Far Away - Chill people.
