Ducktails- Killin the Vibe (via Bleary Eyed Brooklyn)

Check out Ducktails (Real Estate’s Matt Mondanile) killin’ the vibe at Brooklyn’s Monster Island Basement sans Panda Bear, but backed by an equally star-studded supporting cast of Alex Craig (Big Troubles) and indie hero Jeremy Earl (Woods/Woodist) Anyone who hasn’t experienced Mondanile’s brand of dreamy bedroom pop experiments should check out his irrepressibly swell Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics here.

Keep Shelly in Athens- Running Out of You
.
Here’s the video for one of the bangin’ 90’s club/nostalgica tracks from Forest Family discovery Keep Shelly in Athens. Little is known about KSIA, but as long as they keep bringing the irresistible balearic eurobeats I wont ask questions.

The Kills- “Satellite”
.
With Alison Mosshart touring with The Dead Weather and Jamie Hince becoming somewhat of a tabloid target across the pond (see: girlfriend Kate Moss) we were beginning to wonder if The Kills were no more. That is until earlier this month when Mosshart announced the duo’s fourth LP Blood Pressures was recorded, mixed and set to be released April 11th. Here is the first single “Satellite,” head to their website to get the mp3 and pre-order the album now.

Parks & Recreation. Thursdays 9:30/8:30c, NBC
.
In case you’ve been wondering why The Office has been such a turdsandwich over the last 2 and a half seasons it’s because the writers (lead by Simpsons alum Greg Daniels) jumped ship to work on this gem of a show. Despite not being renewed this past fall, P&R’s third season premiere aired last week and picked up right where the much-beloved second season ended without missing a beat. Tune in tonight and witness the funniest show on TV.
(watch the also stellar Community 8/7c and the always out-there 30 Rock 10/9c all part of the same line-up Thursday nights on NBC.)

.
Check out this rework of Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T.’s “Never Go Back” featuring San Fran R&B band Grillade from their session together courtesy of the folks at yourstru.ly.
