Just came to the realization that there aren’t many week of Pick Your Poison left in 2015. In fact, for much of December the number of fresh PYP posts will be reduced down from most days each week to just one or two days each week to account for less new music being released and more focus on year-end list-making season. We’re getting close! So I guess what I’m trying to say is, enjoy these while they last. In today’s set for example, there are some high quality downloads from Freefall Greenhorn, Frend (ft. Drew Smith), Nina Las Vegas (ft. Snappy Jit) and Ringo Deathstarr (covering T’Pau). In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from AKASE (covering The War on Drugs), Damon Eliza Palermo, Daniel Caesar, Frankie Cosmos, Hinds, jj, Palm, WDL (ft. Elliphant) and more.
Al Rogers Jr. ft. Blacksage & Blaqstarr – Pomegranate (Bad 4 You)
Freefall Greenhorn – You Never Was
Frend – This Goodbye (ft. Drew Smith)
Nina Las Vegas – Contagious (ft. Snappy Jit)
The final Pick Your Poison for this week is another solid collection of tracks. Keep a particular eye (or ear) out for downloads from Frank Rabeyrolles, Moa Holmsten, Space Captain and Tuff Sunshine.

The time change over the weekend has really been messing with my head these last couple of days. Walking outside at 5pm now suddenly showcases the final remnants of dusk, and I can’t help but think it’s much later no matter what the clock says. There’s a certain sense of disappointment that comes from losing the sun so early I think, even though I’m not a “day person” by any stretch of the imagination. It’s only going to get worse too leading to the Winter Solstice on December 21st, the day with the least amount of sunlight. Of course we’ll all probably be used to the darkness by then, our spirits also brightened by elaborate holiday decorations. Today’s Pick Your Poison does at least give me a much-needed boost of energy and positivity, and I hope it does the same for you. Don’t miss downloads from Forever, French For Rabbits, The Harrow and Lazy Legs. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Aquilo, Blanck Mass, Dawit Eklund, Dream Koala, Drew Howard & Birthday Boy, exmagician, Little May (covering Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Nevermen and more!

Welcome to November! Hope your Halloween was great, naturally. I attended a costume party, as is tradition, and went the lazy route by dressing as an identity thief. It essentially involved wearing a bunch of “Hello, my name is…” stickers all over my body. It was a good time. If you want to share your Halloween costume or story, feel free to do so in the comments. In the meantime let’s get right into today’s Pick Your Poison. There are some quality downloads in this set from ET Anderson, Germany Germany, Posthuman and Winter. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Choir of Young Believers, Lizzo, The Lone Bellow, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s, Party Nails, Rustie, Seth Bogart (ft.

For the final Pick Your Poison of October and the closest one to Halloween, I’m surprised there aren’t more spook-tacular songs. There are typically a few themed songs that show up right before a holiday, but that just doesn’t seem to be the case this year. Oh well, the show will go on with or without them. Please enjoy downloads from Bur Gur, Ian Keteku, Linear Downfall, Overlake and Secret Storm. in the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Bianca Casady & The C.i.A., Eleanor Friedberger, Kishi Bashi (covering Talking Heads), Martin Crane, Mod Sun (ft. Machine Gun Kelly & Blackbear), Tale of Us, Wall of Death, yOya and more.

You may have noticed that we are mere days away from Halloween. It’s fascinating to me how perceptions of the holiday have changed over time. Maybe it’s always been this way, or maybe the current generation of young adults have pushed it to these limits, but it just seems like in recent years the concept of kids collecting candy has been pushed into the background and replaced with people in their 20’s and 30’s getting drunk in costumes at bars. Obviously as somebody who’s part of that demographic I’m more attuned to and involved with such celebrations, so maybe it’s just me. But I also live in a neighborhood with a fair number of families, and while there are a few kids who stop by for candy, the numbers actually seem pretty scarce. When I used to trick or treat, it was a 3-4 hour marathon with several blocks to cover and kids everywhere. Now the streets look mostly empty, and I’m more likely to spot somebody dressed as a slutty nurse finishing off a cocktail next to a fireman and Buzz Lightyear. Did our parents have such wild Halloween parties? I’m not complaining, just curious. To my eyes there’s an innocence lost when the candy collecting kids are on the decline and the alcoholic adults pretending to be kids for a night are on the rise. Hope you’ve got something fun planned for Halloween night on Saturday. If you need me, I’ll be at a bar with a group of friends, all of them in costume. Okay, let’s get to today’s Pick Your Poison, shall we? Don’t miss downloads from Blankus Larry, Broken Gold, James Crooks, People Skills and Still Alive.

Poor, poor Chicago Cubs. Can’t catch a break. That World Series-free streak continues after being swept by the Mets. Ah well, as pretty much every Cub fan says at the end of each season, “There’s always next year.” At least now it seems like they’ve got a good chance of going the distance again in 2016, so we’ll have to wait and see. But enough about sports, let’s get into the final Pick Your Poison for this week. You’ll want to check out downloads from Aaron Lee Tasjan, Annabelle’s Curse, Brass Bed, Lewis Cancut and Powernerd.

Happy Back to the Future Day! Yes, we’ve finally reached the date that Doc Brown and Marty McFly travel to in the classic film Back to the Future II. For a film buff such as myself, it can’t help but bring up a bit of nostalgia for a trilogy that meant so much to me growing up and technically still means so much to me today. It’s been a lot of fun celebrating the 30th anniversary of the first film, and comparing how the 2015 elements from the second actually stack up to what we’ve got today. There may not be 100% official hoverboards or self-lacing sneakers, nor are the Cubs likely to win the World Series at this point, but at the very least we have a rich casino owner who’s a bit of a bully and loves having his name on everything. Sometimes real life and fictional stories intertwine and it’s just a little scary. Anyways, I hope you’ve had a great day, and maybe even re-watched (or perhaps watched for the first time) one of the first two Back to the Future films. Nobody would hold it against you if you skipped the third. One thing you shouldn’t skip out on today is Pick Your Poison, which has a wealth of great tracks from the likes of Andy Clockwise (ft. Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint), The Black Ships, Kosha Dillz (with a perfectly day-appropriate track) and Shards. In the Soundcloud section after the jump, stream songs from Emergency Tiara, Florist, Frank the Butcher (ft. Killer Mike), Holy Esque, The Most Serene Republic, Nao, Snakehips (ft. Tinashe & Chance the Rapper), W-X and Yogi (ft. Elliphant & Pusha T). Great Scott!

Shards – Sad Sayonara, Goodbye
On this date approximately 65 years ago, Tom Petty was born. In that time, he’s provided us with so much great music, and continues to do so today.
