To celebrate this month's quick arrival, let's start with June Carter. y Johnny Cash. Good bye is all she wrote. × Johnny Cash & June Carter: Jackson Johnny Cash & June Carter singing Jackson at the Ralph Emery Show. This is from 1967.
× Los Amigos Invisibles: Stay Their new album recently dropped, which I have yet to listen to in full. They are playing at the New Parish (Oakland) on June 13th. They're a pretty fun band to see live, if you have the chance to.
× Lykke Li: No rest for the wicked Super into the lyrics. Hearts are breakeable. Music will be made.

× charliefoxtrotny: Tell the world anything this isn't music per se, but it is human melodies in the forms of words - I dig them. There are approx. 4 of them in their youtube channel. Tacos!!
From the Illini dispatches: My pal Tim is always sending me awesome notes, and earlier this year he shared these two fun songs: × Phish: Fee Millie – but the lyrics here sound like MELI (!!) and coffee, and cats … too cool :)

--- I've signed on to Spotify and Rdio, but so far I really like and prefer the Soundcloud mobile app, works for me and mi curious journeys. There are also a ton of archived talks/interviews and smaller indie bands w/their music uploads to just listen without much fuss, which I really like. It still mostly use CDs and listen to local AM/FM, and a portable radio which I always have with me. Yes that is true. What app or site for streaming music are you currently into?
