Sirious/ly: Chris Cornell - Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart (2015)

For those keeping track here, the "Serious/ly" feature I do on this blog is little more than me listening to satellite radio and coming across a song or artist I love.  Sometimes it's retro, sometimes it's rare, but whenever it's new it's always one to watch.  There have been many of these posts over the past year, and hopefully you've discovered something different.  

In this outing, Chris Cornell, famously of Temple Of The Dog, Soundgarden, Audioslave, and for whatever reason the Zach Brown Band, apparently has a new single out. For those that haven't been paying attention, Chris is out with a new album this Friday the 18th.  Higher Truth.  Here's a pro tip: Alternative music on vinyl ain't cheap.  You try to find a Soundgarden LP and get back to me on how much of your paycheck is left.  Preorder this because you know it's legit.  Just listen:

Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart

So, as I alluded earlier this year has been better than expected for releases.  This month alone we're seeing new music from  Lana Del Ray, The Dead Weather, and now Chris Cornell.  Next week, I'll do a catch all post summing up most of it to this point.  Also, officially I've been doing this for a year now, crazy.   I wonder where we'll go for year #2?  

Sirious/ly: alt-J - Hunger Of The Pine (2014)

Since I wasn't near my turntable this week, that doesn't mean that I'm not listening to good shit.  The lead single from alt-J's 2014 album, This Is All Yours is an exercise in chill.  Not too dissimilar from Washed Out in their style, but radically different in the way that alt-J handles electronic music.  This song is just grazing the tip of a very big iceberg with these guys.  If I can ever track this down on vinyl, this will be a HUGE pick for this blog.  Until then, I'm going to keep crate digging till I get my hands on this.  (Probably have to buy it in a DJ record store) Speaking of which, I highly recommend Gramophone Records in Chicago.  Man, the amount of Beastie Boy's records I could have and by all rights should have bought the day I was there is just staggering.  

Hunger Of The Pine

Perhaps I'll have a proper update this weekend.  Till then, keep spinning.

Sirious/ly: The Dead Weather - I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)

From their upcoming album, Dodge And Burn, (Out September 25), this is I Feel Love - (Every Million Miles) ....   Yeah, this actually happening, it's it's awesome AF!  (That guitar at the 1:55 mark though....  Shades of Jimmy Paige)
