I guess this doesn’t exactly qualify as a “Hidden” Gem. (You’re also free to argue it may not be a Gem either). So Be It. Just in the mood for something fun and silly…and this qualifies:

Has this song been in a movie? One of those Jason Sudeikis indies where he seduces a pretty girl who doesn’t have it all together (but thinks she does) with his good hair and refined beard:
Hidden Gem: Astronauts, etc. “Odessa”

Extraordinary. Strongly moody, deeply impressionistic…this is what’ll sound like if you could take a dj into outer space:
Hidden Gem: Wild Belle “It’s Too Late”
The lyrics:
I’m not asking for lots of fancy toys
I don’t need a lot of fancy toys
Someone to keep me warm at night
I’ve a friend who basically prayed this…she’s been married and warm for the past 5 years. It’s not too late for you…

Take thumping drums, a voice rich in soul and toss in a scorned woman and you have the Tidal Waves & Hurricanes video. I feel bad for the guy, not sure what he did but he did something wrong.

Always a sucker for that big brassy female voice.

How I discovered Lucius…
In early 2013 Mike from PledgeMusic emailed to say “got this amazing band Lucius to play at 6pm.” Dude’s got a fantastic ear so I dutifully located my pants and headed to Tequila Bookworm to check out their CMW industry set.
Hidden Gem: French Montana feat Kanye West & Nas “Figure It Out”

Girth Radio Presents…
Kanye is making everybody with a website who monitors metrics over quality rich; his nickname should be money (all due respect to Jordan). What with his insightful twitter diatribes and “journalists” playing Web MD constantly diagnosing his “mental health issues” websites are churning out content and “analysis.” Overlooked in the superfluous parroting “Kanye is a douche-bag” rhetoric is his musical gifts:
