M.I.A. - "Bad Girls"
YES. M.I.A. just premiered the full version of her song "Bad Girls."
Those of you who listened to her Vicki Leekx mixtape will recognize the song - a partial version appears mid-mix. And apparently a video is coming our way this Friday!

It's the weekend! Playlist time.
Here's what's been playing in my Dodge Stratus and my head this week.
Free live album download - Marketa Irglova
Enter your email address to get some free live tracks recorded last November at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. They're from Marketa's latest solo album, "Anar."
Chicago Bluegrass and Blues fest continues at the Congress...
with a bunch of bands on Saturday, including Bailiff, Paper Thick Walls, and Great Divide.
I've been dying to see Bailiff live ever since I heard Red Balloon. "Crickets," the first track on the album, which is mainly instrumental, blows me away every time I listen to it. This should be an amazing show.
Paper Thick Walls have reflective, melancholy thread that winds its way through their music, and their quasi-orchestral arrangements build to soaring proportions, especially in their song "Liar's Lawyer."

Great Divide has a groovy vocalist and an upbeat, knee-bouncing, head-bopping sound that's making me dance in my chair at a coffee shop.

None of the bands overlap, so go see them all! Paper Thick Walls is playing on the lobby stage from 6:00-6:45, Bailiff will be on the main stage from 7:00-7:45, and Great Divide is playing at 11 on the lobby stage, just before Drive-By Trucker take the main stage.

Nada Surf - "Jules and Jim"
Nada Surf's new album The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy, came out yesterday, I currently can't get enough of the song Jules and Jim and is featured above. Really loving this up beat album by them. I can't help but think of the TV show "The O.C." when thinking about Nada Surf, the song If You Leave was featured on it, and that's when I first heard of the band.
Cezier - "Long Time Coming"
"The one man band"
I don't usually feature rap, but its the start of 2012 which means, trying new things, and I just really like this guy. I also love the Converse does this whole "Rubber Tracks," as well to give exposure to up and coming artists.

Miike Snow & Lykke Li
I realize I just posted about Miike Snow last week, but I had to again because they’ve teamed up with another favorite of mine, Lykke Li.
The eerie vocals and woozy, dreamy synth sounds make “Black Tin Box” the perfect winter song--a little moody, cold, and dark.
