You gotta love this, radiohead and de la soul mashed.

Both of these groups have gained widespread popularity and stood apart from the norm.  You certainly wont catch thom york in a photo with paris hilton or those dudes from de la soul rocking a grill

So i was looking around facebook and saw this post between two of my friends, I think this defines the concept behind the music you should hear.

I was probably wearing an little devil shirt playing bloody knuckles listening to this on mp3.com in the middle school library during study hall playing this song, and for some reason its still cool as hell

I can attest to actually waking up to this song many times, and also feel the need to represent hip hop in this theme.

Aesop Rock ‘Daylight’

Jesse Dee is, in my opinion, one of the best young (and for the most part unknown) artists out there. I’m sure this song has been posted before, but I can’t get enough of it and I think it fits this week’s theme. It’s Called “Slow Down” and Jesse gives a good performance here, but I highly recommend checking out the album version…

In my first two years of college there was a band in athens called Fokushima was at the top of a very vibrant music scene.  Some of the best times I ever had in college were at these shows.  Also Kevin was in a band called Homonkulous in Bloomington IN where my family currently lives.  Here is Kevin Shima playing ‘room with a view’ a song that has been on and off stuck in my head for years now.  A good play for the morning to carry on with the theme for this week

The dessert, in my humble opinion is a bit overrated. The band is anything but. I have always pictured this song as the opening scene in a potentially sweet movie, waking up to a sunny summer morning and starting the day as the credits roll…

I am posting this at 10:46 (early) on a monday as the sun is breaking through my kitchen window and its really bright.  With this G-Love playing things kind of feel in place.  So here begins my theme week ‘themusicyoushouldhear when you wake up’.  So disregard the title of this post… if your reading this you are alive

My buddy (above) sent me this track to post on the site, its pretty wild. If robots take over the earth someday, this is the song they will be dancing to in the endzone at superbowl XXIVCMIVCX
