The only acknowledgment I want for last week is that I got my ass kicked work-wise and that I am glad it is over.

With that being said..it feels different to be starting my week off back home in Maryland.  Can’t keep me from Philly too long though..just a quick break from the city .

Haven’t had much time for music..but enough to throw you these three gems.

California Sunrise – Dirty Gold So I think it’s officially safe to say that Fall is here.  I still love to coast to some breezy songs on sunny days like today.  As much as I’m a winter advocate..I would love to drag the sunshine out just a little longer.  These guys remind me a bit of Clive Tanaka and a little bit Bedouin Soundclash.  Feel the warmth.

Time (We Plants Are Happy Plants Remix) – Hans Zimmer I think I’m actually a bigger fan of We Are Happy Plants remixes rather then his original work.  This song is solid.  It’s got a sweeping, dramatic orchestral introduction and then gets plugged with the electronics.  The way this guy from Hungary unfolds his music is beautiful.

Last Summer – Germany Germany I might as well keep up with the nostalgic summer vibe with another solo genius, Germany Germany, who actually hails from Canada.  Sometimes his music is a little too out there for me but listening to his Last Summer compilation, I’m in love.  He has toned it down quite a bit for this mix and it’s fantastic.  I highly recommend downloading the rest right here.

Bonus: Bright Eyes – Vonnegutt I’ll leave you guys with a little something up-tempo to carry you through the rest of this week.  Vonnegutt has been getting hyped recently by being featured on Big Boi’s track.  They even have some tour dates coming up with Chiddy Bang..Keep an eye on these boys.

Enjoy.
