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.

Coachella To Go

































A weekend in the Palm Desert is not in the cards for me just now, but that doesn't stop me from daydreaming about Coachella and the wide ranging lineup there.  Which makes the perfect excuse for this playlist of new favorites from their performers list, and a celebration of a sooner-than-expected reunion among last weekend's sets.



James Bay, Let It Go - A folky and soulful young Brit, Bay sounds nothing like Van Morrison but recalls him all the same.


Chris Stapleton, Tennessee Whiskey - There's room at Coachella for old school country and Stapleton -- son of Kentucky coal miner -- is as real as they come.




HÆLOS, Dust - Straight outta East London with a debt to Bjork.

Låpsley, Silverlake - It just isn't fair to have your shit this much together at 19. 


DJ Koze, Cicely - German techno, there's a novel idea.  This percolates like an overboiling pot.
LCD Soundsystem, I Can Change - Who believed James Murphy would stay "retired"?  This gem was from his "final" effort.
