Ray LaMontagne’s new album drops on May 6th. Here’s a quickie article on Rolling Stone.
And here’s a teaser:
WTF? I like Ray a little less “Bob Seger-ish” and a little more depressed.

Who’s Lovin’ You?
“There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.”
Josh Weathers
I’ve got to get down to Dallas and catch this man.
Lindsey Stirling / Vibrant Sound – Lawrence, KS
Took Sprout to Lawrence, KS to see Lindsey Stirling at the Granada. The show was amazing. Here she is doing a Michael Jackson medley of Beat It, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal. Good stuff!
She also did a cover of Journey’s Separate Ways and a medley of Legend of Zelda tracks.
Her opener was The Vibrant Sound. They were pretty spectacular also. Here they are doing a Marvin Gaye cover/sample.
Harlem Shake
I’m pretty obsessed with the current Harlem Shake meme. My favorite has to be this one out of Portland.
Boom ba doom boom.
An oldie but a goodie, and one of the best to come out of SoundCloud in a while. Nicki Minaj slowed down sounds like a super effeminate Jay-Z. I listen to this more often than I should.

Voice of Ages – The Chieftans
Irish folky goodness of The Chieftans with names like Lisa Hannigan, Secret Sisters, Bon Iver, Civil Wars, Punch Brothers, and Pistol Annies.
Frank Ocean – Pilot Jones
We once had things in common
Now the only thing we share is the refrigerator
Ice cold, baby, I told you, I’m ice cold (ice cold!)
You out here flyin’ high (high!)
Go head, fly that thing!
High! High!
But fly alone

Using Paper as a CD Case
Found this Life Pro Tip on Reddit. Also, use Paper CD Case to add track lists, images, contact info, etc to the paper sleeve. Pretty slick.
Ebony Day’s cover of Usher’s Climax.
Love the Usher original, might like this one more. Acoustic goodness.
The Garden of Your Mind
A remix of Mr. Rogers by Symphony of Science. Play this for everybody. Everybody.
Oh My God, It’s So….
State, State, State, State of the Art.
Gotye – Somebody That I Used to Know
Listened to this album. Good stuff. Single is on the radio now. Sad face.
“I guess that I don’t need that though…
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know”
Stevie Wonder – Funerals
Whitney Houston’s funeral was today and I watched Stevie Wonder’s performance of a modified “Ribbon in the Sky.” It reminds me of him giving an amazing performance at Michael Jackson’s funeral.
At which funeral will he sing next? More importantly, who will sing at his funeral? Who is going to give the “Stevie Wonder performance” at Stevie Wonder’s funeral?
