MUSIC MONDAY: You Rascal You by Hanni El Khatib

 

Turn up the volume full blast. 

El Khatib has stripped the jaunty big-band veneer from Louis Armstrong's original, leaving little to obscure the dire implications of its words. Suitable for singing along with a wink of The White Stripes.

MUSIC MONDAY: Live at the Boiler Room by Jonti

 

Jonti, DJ & producer of Stones Throw, doing a 22 minute live set at the Boiler Room. His first album is about moving to Los Angeles from South Africa and this is one of my favorite moments from it- 'I love Los Angeles'.

MUSIC MONDAY: Don't Save Me by Haim

 

An LA band that I can't get enough of. This trio of sisters make me dance 90s style in a good way-yes, there is  a good way. The way in which you are remined of Fleetwood Mac, The Go Gos, and LCD Soundsystem in one swope.

MUSIC MONDAY} 'Tell Me' Jessica Lea Mayfield

 

Amazing song. title track from her second album.

MUSIC MONDAY} 'Unlike Me' Charlie Winston

 

Cornish singer based in Paris. Like Terence Trent D'Arby fronting the White Stripes.

MUSIC MONDAY} 'Bad Insect' Ultraista

 

This video dabbbles in light painting with Laura Bettinson's vocals bouncing around in lovely beats.

MUSIC MONDAY} 'Ends of the Earth' Lord Huron

 

Los Angeles' Lord Huron compfire melodies are so pretty. And the mix of harmonica, guitars and piano make for mod folk rock prettiness. Yes, lots of pretty here.

 

MUSIC MONDAY} 'I Will Wait' Mumford & Sons

 

The wait is over. And it was so worth it. Thank you again Mumford & Sons.

MUSIC MONDAY: 'Call Your Girlfriend' by Missy and Lennon

 

My girls love watching video. Over and over again.

MUSIC MONDAY} Kimbra 'Settle Down'

 

She got a beautiful haunting voice and I love the humor in 'Settle Down'. She looks like a scrubbed up, French, Katy Perry. I love this video.
