1) They say January is when film studios dump all their truly worthless movies into theaters (see “Contraband,” “Underworld: Awakening”), but the same is definitely not true of music. We’ve fallen in love with some wonderful music lately, and so we’ll share some of the songs that we just can’t shake. This first one comes, appropriately enough, from Alabama Shakes, who will playing the Continental Club here in Austin this Saturday:
2) Here’s the newest single, “Mexico,” from The Staves, whose EP, also titled “Mexico,” dropped in December:
3) We are shocked, shocked, I tell you, that Elle King is not a superstar yet. She has pipes and personality to share, as you can tell in this video for her song “Good to Be a Man”:
4) And here is our new favorite musical performance of any song ever:
5) On a non-musical note, has anyone read “The Carrie Diaries,” Candace Bushnell’s “Sex and the City” prequel? Should be excited that it might soon be coming to our TV screens? Sure, the movies may have ruined some of our goodwill toward Carrie and Co., but we would love to see teen Carrie rock those ’80s fashions.

I cannot stop watching the dog video. It makes me so stupidly happy.
Totally digging The Stoves…and the dog on the right that looks like an Ewok.
Kelly, we should totally try some harmonies on the Staves song. Jam session soon! Perhaps you could come up with an interpretive dance too?
Done and done.
