Bempology – February 2012
Happy Valentines Day Asswholes! ♦ Electric Guest kick off this month’s playlist with “This Head I Hold”, a track that will be sync’ed to some dancing color silhouettes in an Apple commercial in the near future. Incredibly fun soulful pop, too catchy to fail. Also check out American Daydream, where the group tones it down a [...]
Bempology Video 2011
Bempology Video 2011 – A compilation of my favorite music videos, internet clips, and electronic tracks. Check out a preview and grab the compilation below. FYI the file is .avi format which most video players can handle, but works best with VLC Media Player, which is freeware and the best of its kind on the [...]
Bempology – January 2012
After a night of spirited debate with friends and disturbing amounts of alcohol-infused whipped cream, I will now title the mixes to the month ahead. 2012, already crazy. Also I realize this cover art is similar to September’s atomic bomb-tree combination, but I liked this one too so whatever. ♦ Spent a lot of time [...]
Bempology – November 2011
Champagne and playlists for my real friends, and real pain for my sham friends. ♦ Honorable mentions to both Childish Gambino and Slow Club for 6 tracks combined on Bempology November. I was eagerly awaiting Donald Glover’s ‘Camp’ and it delivered, despite the most predictable Pitchfork backlash of all time (all this while Nikki Minaj’s [...]
Bempology – October 2011
I will not use my credit card points to buy a weather balloon. Here’s what I liked in October: ♦ Good amount of folk numbers this month with a strong wave of new acts from the UK/Ireland – Matthew and the Atlas continue to channel the Mumford Nation Americana vibe on ‘To The North’, Lucy [...]
Bempology – September 2011
Summer’s over. Time to get fat. ♦ One of the first times I visited NYC after college I convinced a few friends (re: idiots) to follow me in what has become a long and storied tradition – hyping up an obscure concert and corralling a group, generally based on one Youtube clip e-mail with an [...]
Bempology August 2011
Yep, I’m late. Here’s some neat songs: ♦ Tyler Lyle leads off my favorite tracks of August with ‘The Golden Age & The Silver Girl’ off the album of the same name, an absolutely brilliant and eerie reclamation of Paul Simon’s hallmark 2nd self-titled release from 1965 (i.e. if you wanted to enjoy this year’s [...]
Bempology – July 2011
Hey kids – before I ramble about songs from July, take and subscribe to Bempology HERE. This way, I’ll shoot you an e-mail right when the playlist publishes so you don’t forget to grab it when you’re stressed out creating that totally impeccable g-chat status. Onto the music: ♦ Pompeya is the best band I [...]
Bempology – June 2011
Sorry for the late post — was down in Florida power-ramming manatees in a kayak. Here’s what I enjoyed in June: ♦ Bad Lamps popped up on my radar thanks to 32 ft/s and convey that same type of spastic, energetic, and wildly simplistic indie pop that fueled a lot of sold-out Darwin Deez shows over [...]
Bempology – May 2011
You’re the kid on the slide. This is your soundtrack. ♦ Things kick off with Frank Ocean ‘Novacane’, one of the numerous R&B throwbacks that have gained steam the last few months and probably the best – “Girl I can’t feel my face / What are we smoking anyway / She said don’t let the [...]
