Drake ~ Headlines (Official Video) from OctobersVeryOwn on Vimeo.

Every Saturday, I post a 15-20 minute podcast featuring some tracks I’ve been jamming the previous week, as well as some commentary and random musings from yours truly. Enjoy!

Tracklist:

Dum Dum Girls – Bedroom Eyes
Rustie – All Nite
Phantogram – Don’t Move
DJ Khaled – I’m On One (feat. Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne)

I also do it to introduce you cool cats to tunes you may have missed independently.

20. The Hold Steady – Hurricane J

Craig Finn, while less belligerent, is still plenty drunk and emotional and frank on Heaven Is Whenever, and the group delivers one of their poppiest efforts thus far.  “Hurricane J” is a plea to a lost soul he may be care a little too much about, spoken plainly and perfectly alongside a perfect tropical storm metaphor.  We’ve all known someone like the person Finn describes, and we’ve all said the exact same things.
