Here’s yet another banger from electro-rock group Phantogram, keeping it interesting with choppy loops & trumpet samples & Sarah Barthel’s signature breathy voice.

So it took me a few days to recover, but I finally got around to posting the videos I have from Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco. The only complaints I have about it were the weather (although that was mostly my fault, it was FREEZING and I didn’t bring the warmest sweater on the first night…in true SoCal girl fashion) and the fact that the sound system on the first day seemed a bit quiet. But my friend Sandra and I determined that perhaps the reason for that was the fog, and the sound probably didn’t travel as well. Also, since the festival was so massive, I had kind of hoped that they would have some screens showing the artists perform so that the people in the back could at least see what was going on on the stage. I’m sure they’re not used to as big of a crowd as they got this year, so hopefully they’ll make some improvements. But all in all, man, what a great fucking weekend. The vibes were great, people were actually nice, everyone was smiling, hippies & hipsters everywhere, people laying in the grass…so much love. It was definitely unlike any other festival or rave I’ve been to.

This week I will be likely posting tunes by artists that will be at Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco. Cause I’m fuckin’ excited.

RAC (Remix Artist Collective) has some sick and unique remixes. Frontman André Allen Anthos (originally from Portugal) creates a different kind of sound “based around emotion…[with] an almost intangible warmth and innate playfulness.” RAC’s remixes are a lot more chill and just sound cleaner than a lot of typical dance remixes out there, and I’m all about happy-go-lucky songs with a good back beat. Here’s my jam right now, Stay Close remix by Delorean. Also after the jump is a treat for all you Nintendo lovers out there.

Here’s another mellow one for your library. Also make sure to download Mouthful of Diamonds from my first post, and check out this interview with Phantogram I found thanks to my friends at ballyhooya.

I am addicted to music. It has a healing power that cannot be explained. It’s something about hearing those words that speak to you, telling you that everything will be okay. Or the inexplainable way it takes over your body and makes it move whether you like it or not.

My life would be nothing without music. I can’t go anywhere without it resonating in my ears. The soundtrack to my life. It makes me feel weightless and invincible. Music makes me high. It has a way to make trees sway and ocean waves crash to the back beat.

Music makes everything ridiculous in this world a bit more bearable.
