It’s a CROCODILES kind of “Sunday”

Jumping up into the CMJ Top 10 this week, here’s Crocodiles with “Sunday” off their new album “Endless Flowers.” Though we here at MM&R usually prefer to post videos of live performances, we just couldn’t resist this throwback video during which we half expected them to cut to Edie Sedgwick rocking out offstage. Plus, who can resist a band with a female drummer…too cool.

Father John Misty live on KCRW

One of the CMJ Top Ten since May, we here at MM&R thought it was about time we posted a video of Father John Misty, AKA J. Tillman formerly of the Fleet Foxes, singing a song off his new album “Fear Fun.” And for all you Madisonians out there, he’ll be playing the High Noon Saloon Saturday, July 7th, so check him out.
