It's cold outside, but the weekend's here and I've been in a lighthearted music kind of mood lately. The Courtney's latest album, The Courtneys II, hits that feeling right on the nose. Happy Friday!

Lemuria - Wanted to Be Yours
Let's start off 2017 with a little fun (and some more frequent posting!) with a number from Buffalo's Lemuria. It's a bit different for them, with more of an upbeat pop sound, but, fuck it, I like it. If it rubs you the wrong way, don't worry, the rest of their latest album, Recreational Hate, should be more up your alley. Tracks like "Sliver of Change" and "Christine Perfect" are fantastic and should scratch that itch for you.

Upcoming Shows
Miya Folick - Trouble Adjusting
I walk into an empty room
I thought there’d be at least balloons
Girl looks at me, says “Who the hell is she?”
I think I’m having trouble adjusting
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! That's kind of how I felt on my first listen to today's Most Important. Miya Folick mixes rock and pop with a honed edge that hooked me immediately. Her new EP, Give It To Me, which came out early last month, is stellar and worth a full listen through at the very least. I'm hoping she comes to town soon, would love to see her perform live.
RIYL: Sleater-Kinney, Mitski, TORRES, Le Tigre, Liz Phair
