I used to listen to so much Thao & Mirah. It's been awhile since I check in on what Thao Nguyen has been up to and (no surprise) she's still killing it. Her fifth album We the Common dropped earlier this year. Enjoy the single above.

music video of the day: "Tonight Again" by Decades
Toronto
based melodramatic indie pop gentlemen Decades release their debut record with White Girl
Records tonight at the Garrison. Fellow Toronto locals Breeze (band members from BELIEFS, Great Bloomers, Hot Hot Heat and more) are
opening. Also on the bill is the oh so chill dreamy Elsa (another Torontonian) and Montreal fuzz indie rock act CTZNSHP. See you there?
music video of the day: "Fall For You" by Young Galaxy
Montreal natives pulling through.
music video of the day: "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" by Kendrick Lamar
This is the second time I've seen someone be baptized in booze. Does that make it a thing?
(midnight) music video of the day: "Some Time Alone, Alone" by Melody's Echo Chamber
Hanging out alone in an amusement park.
It's a pretty simple description but it's so spot on.
I love the cheerful sadness of this.
I love the way amusement park lights look at night.
I love those giant swings.
With your legs dangling and your hair blown by the summer air it almost feels like flying.
music video of the (yester)day: "My Number" by Foals
Saturday night Foals brought their third album Holy Fire to Toronto's Kool Haus. Some other thirds? Third time I saw them live. Third time they blew my mind. Third time I feel in love with Yannis Philippakis. Third time's a charm.
music video of the day: "Shuggie" by Foxygen
I wont say much but I will say this...
Last night's Foxygen show < We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
(midnight) music video of the day: "If I Ever Feel Better" by Phoenix
Someday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
music video of the day: " FEELSOLOW" by NO CEREMONY///
Yep. Pretty much.
This mystery band from Manchester is making me melt into a puddle as I sink into the floor.
music video of the (yesterday & to)day: “Smoke Again” by Chance The Rapper ft. Ab-Soul
Not the best weekend, but bike rides in the spring sun with a new mixtape in my ears help.
Take a chance on Chance because he's blowing up.

Was lucky enough to catch Chance The Rapper this past SXSW. Click the link to lurk it up.
music video of the day: "Never Run Away" by Kurt Vile
Dreamy.
music video of the day: "Q.U.E.E.N." by Janelle Monáe ft. Erykah Badu
Because this ish is king. Because these lyrics are royal. Here's just a couple of my favs...
they be like "ooh let them eat cake", but we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground
but you gotta testify, because the booty don't lie
Badu's words are so true. The booty don't lie y'all! It don't! These are just facts that we need to face people! The booty don't lie. Now excuse me while I freak along & play this on repeat.
music video of the day: "Home" by Austra
Bone chilling. Stuck in my head. Stuck under my skin. Haunting.
music video of the day: “My Kind Of Woman" by Mac DeMarco
I think arty Mac DeMarco is my new fav. This is my kind of sweet sad love song.
It's also his birthday. Happy birthday bud.
music video of the day: “Konono Ripoff No. 1″ by Dan Deacon
Because it's super gif-y and interactive with Deacon's rad app. Download it to play along.
