premiere: Polly Hi - Give It Up

Of course Princeton’s Sam McDougle has been creating music while working toward a PhD in Neuroscience. Such complimentary disciplines, right?! But if you think about it, and I do a lot, music and the brain’s function are deeply and indelibly intertwine in a glory of mystery. Luckily, Sam shares his Yo La Tengo influence on his sleeves, so you don’t have to give him an MRI to understand that.

Stolen Jars - Waves

Dan Svizeny - Dreams Come True

Vinyl Tigers - Loser and Still Champion

Always happy to see that vinyl is a popular baby name for bands. These guys went a step beyond, and sent me a physical copy (sadly not yet on vinyl) of their lo-fi, quirky folk punk LP from their New Jersey home base:

The Yetis - Little Surfer Girl

Been day dreaming about the summer? Me too. Thusly, I can’t get enough of these guys, and this video they made “on one of the coldest days of the year” makes me excited about the sun. I’ve been hot on their Beach Boys sounds for a bit now, and I’m happy to see their first official video come out today.

“We filmed this video in Surf City, NJ last summer and in Allentown at our practice space this winter. It was the second coldest day of the winter so far! This is totally why we wrote this song last winter!” Enjoy!
