New Songs, Old Songs, Good Songs… Whatever.
WHO: Flight Facilities
WHAT: “Crave You” Featuring Gisele (Radio Edit)
WHY: Want What You Can’t Have: The Music Edition… Because apartment shopping in New York is tough, man.
Not their most recent track, but these lyrics can translate to multiple “this crazy thing we call life” moments… making it’s a hard song to quit playing on your Spotify. In case you missed the dynamic duo with the occasional accompanying vocal provided by the lady croonstress Jess, on their most recent North American tour, have no fear. Jimmy, Hugo and his hair are going to try to make a pit stop in NYC around a certain October 31st Holiday. — La T

WHO: Nikki Lane
WHAT: “Lies”
WHY: If you have a gut feeling you are being lied to, this song will convince you it’s not just a feeling. Plus, we love the new video (click “read more” to watch).
Nikki Lane just released this video for “Lies,” directed by Jared Eberhard, off her continuously climbing debut album Walk of Shame. We love Nikki for her trendy-country sound, raspy/soothing voice and her traveling boutique (seriously, go watch her play and you will discover some amazing vintage finds).
New Songs, Old Songs, Good Songs… Whatever.
WHO: The Cardigans
WHAT: “Lovefool†(Music Video)
WHY: A cockroach was left on my doorstep as a Valentines day present.
This Cardigans’ track from 1996 popped into my head this morning. Maybe it was because we all started “Spotifying” Whitney Houston tracks this weekend, my particular go to was “How do I Know”, but the nostalgia of my youth was calling to me. I remember hanging Leonardo DiCaprio poster tear outs on my wall daydreaming about our forbidden and love listening to the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack as a 13 year girl. Happy Vag-Day Bitches— LaT  Open me up to see the official  MTV Music Video.
New Songs, Old Songs, Good Songs… Whatever.
WHO: Jonquil
WHAT: “It’s My Part†(TEED Remix)
WHY: This band has member whiplash—and also, because TEED is an acronym for Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs & we love anything Dinosaur remixed.
This track “It’s My Part†will be the B-side off of Jonquil’s upcoming limited edition single released on 10†yellow vinyl (Blessing Force). The band was originally a six piece, but then half the members up’d and left. So, they became a trio… then a quad-band. Changes all around! Anyways, their latest record Point of Go is better than anything before so the lineup change resulted as a good thing after all (sigh of relief). The album is slated for release on February 21st—and shhhhhh—it’s playing on Spotify. — Rachel Eleanor Sutton

New Songs, Old Songs, Good Songs… Everyday.
WHO: Neverever
WHAT: “Wedding Dayâ€
WHY: It’s perfect for swooning
Neverever is taking another step (post their debut-album-days of Angelic Swells), with follow-up EP Shake-a-Baby, out January via Slumberland. The first glimpse from the L.A. foursome’s new project is the track “Wedding Day,â€â€” filled with catchy plays on pop and retro-flares. Swoon away. (And if you’re anything like us, you’ll be swooning away— far away—from wedding days.)

WHAT: “Who’s Sorry Now?â€
WHY: “… You had your way / Now you must pay.â€
New Songs, Old Songs, Good Songs… Everyday.
WHO: PUJOL
WHAT: New Video for Mayday
WHY: Because we want to go out in a field wearing crowns with baby knifes and pretend to sword fight, too.
This video for “Mayday,†which premiered on Rolling Stone yesterday and is directed by Jo McCaughey, is a montage of friendly game playing against an upbeat pop song—quite a good fit, if we might add. Not sure when anyone would listen to this song other than during times such as these. “Mayday†is the first track off the  Nashville-based singer/songwriter’s debut Nasty, Brutish, And Short (and yes, the A in And is supposed to be capitalized) via Saddle Creek.
