5 album covers and a self portrait:
- I Don't Know You by The Marias Psychedelic funk is my new favorite genre.*
- Magic by Rayana Jay I just want to get up and cha cha whenever I've got this playing.
- Overnight by Parcels Reminds me a bit of Daft Punk, with more lyrical diversity.
- Try / Effortless by dvsn Wow I just learned that dvsn is short for "division", which is also how it's pronounced. Huh. Everyday is a school day.
- Summer Days by Rhye This says it all: "Summer days fall away, can I just make you stay?"

Been sick all weekend, as reflected in the more mellow picks in this week's lineup. Happy Tuesday folks.
- Days with You by Snakehips Upbeat kicker for your Tuesday morning.
- Broken Clocks by SZA* Her most recent interview with Vogue hinted that this might be both her first and last LP - I sure hope she's just teasing cause this album is FIRE.
- Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex Brooklyn based ambient pop group, delivering some top notch tunes for a Seattle rainy day (or really any day).
- Perfect Places by Lorde If you never gave Lorde a chance because you thought Royals was overrated, I sincerely hope you reconsider.
- Don't Believe by Slow Dancer Just a pretty boy with his pretty tunes.

5 tunes kickin on my Spotify right now:
- Sleepless by Girlpool (Heads up they're on tour, in Seattle on Fri 5/26) Girlpool knocks it out of the water with some strong and hella playful female vocals.
- Lose My Cool by Amber Mark* If the rhythm doesn't hit you then you're probably an impenetrable human. If you don't find yourself groovin by 1:20 then I have failed you as a tunes curator and I deeply apologize.
- Want You Back by Haim The Rockenhaim trio does it again. The oh so familiar vibes of Days Are Gone.
- Poolside by Baynk Nice, chill, easy.
- Home by J.Lisk Also nice, chill, and easy.
