FRESHVIBESMONDAY #47

(Photo credit: Rachel Taylor, be sure to check out her Instagram account because it's filled with the best eye candy.)
I'm sooooo excited that October is finally here. Not only is this month filled with amazing releases from some of my favorite artists (such as Caribou, Ben Howard, Stars, and Cold War Kids.) These aren't the only ones, peep the entire list on Metacritic here!)  

Also taking place this month is one of my favorite music festivals, Treasure Island in San Francisco! This year's lineup features Outkast, BANKS, Jungle, TV On The Radio, and several more over the span of two days (with zero sets overlapping.) In short, it's going to rule & you shouldn't miss out.

Around the same time as Treasure Island Music Festival, there is the New Noise Music Festival which takes place all throughout downtown Santa Barbara October 15-19! This year's lineup features a few of my favorite bands & a handful of SB's finest - FMLYBND, Mexico City Blondes, The Blues and Greys. For more information & tix - visit the New Noise website.   

ICYMI: FVM#46 (posted last week) was a pretty solid playlist, so if you're still on the hunt for some new tunes check this playlist out.

Flight Facilities Triple J Mix / AlunaGeorge

So my fascination with Flight Facilities isn't something that's new, and here's another reason as to why I'm a huge fan of this mysterious duo. 

Earlier tonight FF uploaded this lovely hour-long mix onto SoundCloud & it is the first of their "decade mixes" from their residency mix series over at Triple J. This particular playlist targets the 1972-1982 time period, and starts off just right with Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". All you gotta do is push play and let the music take over from there. The best thing about this playlist? - IT'S FREE!

By the way, have you heard of AlunaGeorge? This duo from London had an amazing set at Pitchfork Paris last year, and placed 2nd in BBC Sound of 2013! Listen to "Your Drums, Your Love" above & believe me when I say that this is something you can't listen to only once. AlunaGeorge recently released a brand new track titled "Diver" & also covered one of my favorite tracks by Frank Ocean. Click here to see which one it is! Their debut album Body Music will be released this summer! Stoked.
