Elliott Smith - Pretty (Ugly Before)

Live at Irving Plaza, New York, NY May 17, 2000. 13 Years ago today, right around the same time I finished my BA in English from the University of Florida. Time flies...

Fitz and The Tantrums - Don't Gotta Work It Out

On the water in Amsterdam with nothing but voice, horn and tambourine. That's how good these guys are.

Emma Louise - Tessellate

Emma Louise picks a great song to cover for triplejtv's Like a Version series.

Ashlee Gilot - Let it Be

There's a chance that we might see.

Chuck Ragan and Jenny Owen Youngs - Nomad By Fate, Pirates

Ragan and Youngs bring their collaborative tour to Alternative Press's offices for a couple of songs.

6 Day Riot - Take Me

Not sure what's going on with these guys. Cool band, but no real activity in the last couple years.

The Uncluded - TV on 10

Kimya Dawson teamed up with rapper Aesop Rock to form The Uncluded. This song is the strongest yet from the duo. I'm digging the trend towards Lyrics videos and this one is presented well.

Houndmouth - Houston Train

I agree with this reviewer, this band is the real deal.

Josie Charlwood - Thanks and All The Rest

Great young UK singer Josie Charlwood's (@JosieCharlwood) first album dropped last year. This is one of the songs on it. Watching her precision as she inserts all these elements into the song is just delightful.

Pickwick - Hacienda Motel (Live on KEXP)
