Despite the fact that Esser's rockabilly neo-Nazi look scares me to no end, the 23-year old from the UK has got some serious talent. After putting together an album Braveface in his bedroom, he was somehow able to get the Kaiser Chiefs' attention and was asked to go on their sold-out tour with them. His song, "Headlock" reminds me of a male Lily Allen. The Alright, Still Lily that made me go bananas and walk everywhere with "LDN" on my headphones for an entire summer. There's something about this video that just makes me smile, hopefully it'll do the same for you:

The newest batch of dopeness from Gossip band members Beth Ditto, Hannah Billie and Brace Payne is "Heavy Cross".

The VHS or Beta remix of My Morning Jacket's "Highly Suspicious" makes for an even more pleasurable listening experience.

This should bring you into the weekend quite nicely. (Thanks Stereogum)
