Take Me Somewhere

New video for Take Me Somewhere by one of my favorite bands, Tennis, off their debut LP Cape Dory, released earlier this year.

My God

Pusha T finally put out a video for his latest coke banger, My God. The video contains some great footage of people going H.A.M. at church.

Pumped Up Kicks

I'm obsessed with this tune, Pumped Up Kicks by L.A. indie poppers, Foster the People. It has that same lackadaisical feeling as that Peter, Bjorn, and John single a few years back. Enjoy!
