lol @ xgau devoting precious words of his capsule to 'candle in the sun'

i feel like we need brainwasher to start the 2013 thread just so we can have that optimistic list of artists at the top

in the meantime the entire jojo mixtape is still giving; this is a slow burner, but her songwriting and vocal nuances are so on point in it

OK, one last drop from me before Brainwasher reminds us that the K. Michelle album is coming out for real in 2013.

I've been lukewarm on AlunaGeorge, but their new track "Diver" is fantastic. No YouTube embed yet, but Stereogum has it here: http://stereogum.com/1228872/alunageorge-diver/mp3s/

This Austin Brown mixtape is like a weird mix of young Marvin and New Edition, filtered through the Elephant 6 collective. Shit is all over the place, but he has sort of a Bruno Mars star quality, so I feel like he could be a thing:

I used to know how to embed YouTube videos. I don't know what changed.

Love that. Hate the video.

I'm not sure if we have much of a choice as to whether Michael Jacksons nephew becomes 'a thing'.

oh look, the new KING song dropped and I made a thread for them

oops wrong thread lol
