Matthew E. White "Big Inner" - 2012 LP
There's a new genre of music.....Phosphorescent is in that genre.....Castanets is in that genre.....Father John Misty is in that genre too.....I still don't know what to call it.....It's country-fried rock/american landscape/blues based rock/so much more.....Maybe the genre isn't new.....Maybe it's always been here....Maybe these guys have just picked up on it.....I'm still not sure what to call it so let's just call it effing awesome....Matthew E. White is the real deal.....I love this album.....If former avant garde jazz band leader Matthew E. White can produce this great of an album with his first at bat.....I can't even imagine how great his discography will be......Watch out kids....this generations Leon Russell is here:

Bad Weather California "Sunkissed" - 2012 LP
I need sunshine. I wake up early. Like ass crack of dawn early.....that's when I put out a majority of my public installations. Today I slept in....Rumor has it a bartender over served me last night. All lies...I deny it all....Fuck, okay, i was in the mood....I needed to drink off a little steam....sip on some whiskey with a beer back.....turn my breath into kerosene.....howl at the moon......become a beast. I woke up....tried to pester my girlfriend....then went outside.....It rained. Goddamnit it's not suppose to rain in LA. I left a new canvas outside and a few of my wino-strut bottles.....they're ruined. I quickly retreated to my headphones and put on Bad Weather California (rad website)....which I had never heard of and assumed it was heavy rock. I was wrong. Bad Weather California is bright happy fun pop/modern/Cali-surf psych/quirky.....with a major Cars and early Flaming Lips influence. I got my sunshine:
