Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

Download the delightful new song from bucolic bandits, Fleet Foxes, HERE. They’ve got a much anticipated album coming out this year so we’ll keep you on top of that.

James Blake album sampler

We’ve been enjoying James Blake’s self-titled full-length debut for close to a month now. It gets better with each listen as you notice buried emotions in the vocals. To celebrate the one week countdown until the album officially drops (2.7), here is a little treat.

Fall.Winter 2011 Favorites

Toro Y Moi – Still Sound (music video)

It’s almost 60 degrees outside, this song is cranked up loud, it’s Friday, and the Jayhawks have a big game tomorrow. Life is good.

No Age – Fever Dreaming (music video)

Active Child – I’m In Your Church At Night

Stole this one from my Spanish amigo, Kyle, who is studying in Madrid for two years and writes about his travels on his blog, ValeVale.

Cloud Nothings – Should Have

Inspiration

Paul Smith F/W 2011

Paul Smith creates a unique image for fall.winter 2011 with this collection.  I’m pretty obsessed with the colors, textures and bohemian/chill Californian/british mod influences here.  Definitely one of the best shows that I have seen so far. Photos via GQ.com

Subdued Color Palette

I love this picture via The Sartorialist. When it’s done well, especially during the cold weather months, a simple color palette looks just about better than anything.
