Happy New Year to all! Given the crunch of time I was under, I haven't even gotten to post my Top 100 Songs and 25 Albums of 2017, so I will do that this week to supplement the mixtape.

I got put on the The Palms by my buddy Dave and been listening to them for a week now. Digging the album! The lead singer reminds me a bit of Foster the People back when they made "Pumped Up Kicks."

MGMT is back! And while I've had a love-hate relationship with their music, I'm really digging this song and hoping their album in 2018 is a winner. They have it in them.

Yes, that is THE Michael Cera you're thinking of, George Michael Bluth and Superbad and all that other good stuff. And yes, he got Sharon Van Etten to get on a track with him. Love the song.

Enjoy the rest!
