Dent May - “You Can’t Force a Dance Party”
Native Mississippian Dent May wields a wicked ukelele, and has a new album, Do Things, coming out next week. Until then, though, I’ll be playing his 2009 debut album, The Good Feeling Music of Dent May and his Magnificent Ukelele, on repeat. The album is a perfect mix of whimsy, throw-back, and uke. Which is to say it’s perfect music for a Friday morning.
After previewing some of their new material at a number of initmate London shows, The xx have officially announced the follow-up to their 2009 self-titled debut.

We can always count on Harmony Korine to creep us out in one way or another. Here’s his video for The Black Keys’ “Gold on the Ceiling.” It’s taken from their album El Camino available via Nonesuch Records.
Here’s another music video. Albeit, considerably less charming.
Still a great song.
