We start off with the new album (out today) from Iron & Wine, Ghost on Ghost. The song in question is “Low Light Buddy of Mine” and this was recorded at SXSW this year. Enjoy. (Amazon: CD; CD/Vinyl; MP3.)

Somehow I missed the fact that Dr. John had a new album out last year: Locked Down. I’ve stuck it on my growing playlist of 2012 favorites, I dug it so much. Couldn’t find a solid live recording of this, so here’s the music video for “Revolution.” Headsup: the CD/MP3 bundle is actually $1 less than the MP3 bundle by itself as I type this. (Amazon: CD/MP3; MP3; Vinyl.)
Next up is the new single from Florrie–“Live a Little”–which was used in a Sony Electronics XBA-C10 In-ear headphones campaign. Which is why you get the weird shots of her in essence, ear modeling in this video. But hey, I do enjoy the song.
Out of Brooklyn, next it’s Lovelife with a track from their new EP, The Fourth Floor. It’s “Your New Beloved,” and it’s one of those songs I enjoy so much I’ll let the vocal FX thing pass. (Amazon: MP3.)
Next up, a live version of “McGreggor” which appeared on the deluxe reissue of Leaders of the Free World. There’s a studio version on their latest release, Dead in the Boot…but I always like live versions better for here. (Amazon: CD/MP3; Vinyl.)
Next up, here’s a song that’s apparently already been around for a few years: it’s the title track from Super Sun by Bez, out of Nigeria. And I ran across the track because it was in the big stack of SXSW 2013 sample tracks…and I can’t quite put my finger on why I dig it. But I do. (Amazon: CD; MP3.)
Then, we have Finnish electronic music artist Fanu, who put out two EPs last year. And you’d think I would enjoy the Coffee Crazy EP best of all, but in my defense you have the Breakbeat Crew EP. Both coffee-infused titles…what’s not to like? And…bonus…Tom Waits gets sampled. It’s “Monkey Got Choked.” (Amazon: MP3.)
And lastly, it’s last year’s new album from Donald Fagen: Sunken Condos. And what I enjoy is that it’s exactly what I want from Fagen–and it’s unmistakable who it is. This is “I’m Not the Same Without You.” (Amazon: CD/MP3; MP3; Vinyl.)
