One of the most underrated songs in the Beatles catalog (which is a dumb thing to even write) is the George Harrison 1966 gem, “I Want to Tell You.” Revolver is full of special moments, jumping from feeling to feeling, and Harrison seems to more in-tune with Lennon on this album, taking pop to new levels.

We are a little confused at the moment about where this fits in the Miles Davis canon, and if it actually on this album, and what the Blue Christmas album really was, but who cares, this “Little Melonae” recording is brilliant.

Some brand new tunage from a SF band we know and like a fair amount. They’re giving their newest release away for free to download here (guess the holiday spirit got to them), so get over to their page and give it a download because it’s a pretty rad, moody at times, vintage-feeling, slightly pop-oriented at times, honest-sounding, fun-invoking indie album that we think you’ll like.

We have had a good couple of weeks with the band Beach Fossils, and ultimately can’t believe we missed them when this LP first came out in early 2010. If you like the beach and a little reverb, you are going to really enjoy your Indian Summer with this album…

We agree with AllMusic’s assessment of The Shins’ debut LP, Oh, Inverted World: “a definitive indie rock album of the 2000s.” How could it not be? For what it represents in brilliant pop songwriting by James Mercer, to what it means culturally as a “indie” standard (from the way you dress, what you read, what else you listen to, shit, how you TALK has been relevant to this album, and it helps that Zach Braff liked it), there seems to be an aura around this album. From the beginning with “Caring Is Creepy,” to the closer, “The Past and Pending,” of all the bands to check out at Outside Lands this week… this is one of them, even 10 years on…

In 1997-98, there was not a band on earth that gained more attention than Radiohead, and their album Ok Computer, which seems to get undervalued as years go on, was a major pinnacle for guitar music, a swift kick in the ass to what grunge had left behind. “No Surprises” was a major part of that kick in the ass.

We think we have made each track on Radiohead’s 2011 album, The King of Limbs, a special on this site, and to be honest, it almost feels like this album came out years ago already. But this is one of the few songs on the album that featured a guitar as the main instrument. A great track.

Even though The Drums are from NYC, there is something about them that feels like a lazy/hazy San Francisco day. It’s surf music, but also a retro-pop sound that reminds us of Girls. Their self-titled debut LP contained these two gems that bookended the album, “Best Friend,” and “The Future.” Enjoy…

We think this album was supposed to be adult contemporary, in the same way that Steely Dan used to be cool but now is like the worst thing to listen to if you are under the age of 40. But this David Byrne x Brian Eno collaboration was one of our favorite tracks from 2009, and its still a grower a few years later.
