Fleet Foxes and the new Shins album. As much as I despise the "hipster" scene, the music aint too shabby. . . some of it at least :rolleyes:

I am listening to one of my favourite recordings of one of my favourite songs of the 1930s.

Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen ("To me, You're Beautiful"), performed here in English, by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, in 1938. (Although, the song was wildly popular in Yiddish and German years before that).

Richard Himber and his Ritz-Carlton Orchestra -- You Hit The Spot (1935)

You hit the spot
Like a balmy breeze on a night in May
You hit the spot
Like a cool mint julep on a summery day
You hit a new high
In my estimation I had to fall
Cause you've got so much on the ball
You hit the spot
Like the first embrace when the night is high
You hit the spot
Like the pipe and slippers by a fireside
Matter of factly don't know exactly
What it is that you've got
But oooh, you ooh ooh hit the spot

...I'm listening to... ? .... A "sound" I've never quite heard from a Western Swing band before.... Western Jump Blues:

Leon McAuliff & his Western Swing Band cover the R&B hit "Rag Mop", 1950:

Running through the Motown/Hitsville box set in while driving in the car.

OH yeah... Found this one just last week on youtube which got me on a Motown kick again, posted as "World's Prettiest Bassline", and I'm inclined to agree with that, atleast for electric bass (Jimmy Blanton of 1940's Duke Ellington fame holds that title in my book if we include acoustic bass)...

From bassist James Jamerson, the studio bassist on almost all of Motown's 1960s & early 70s hits, including "Darling Dear": I really don't care much for what I've seen of the 1960s & 70s (clothes, movies, mainstream music, overall "look"...) but this SOUND is really Food For The Soul:
