Adamo's jams

The internet gets no better than TIMJ. Melancholy gets no better than BSS. Thank you for creating a platform that helped open my ears to many unexpected gems. .xox.

The slow build, the pace, the excitement, the optimism - and everything is going to be alright - Today - Together! Today, more than any other day, I needed this song to come on shuffle.

Blarin' in my face! Wake my ass up!

Thanks for the hook-up @monisaurus - new L'Orange is magical.

Let's just make this easy and say that my brains were kidnapped. But I'm back. And so is Caribou!

Beat Master

Consistently top-drawer. I think I stole this one from you @monisaurus . Though I'm not sorry ;)

I have been uplifted. I have been #friday'd

It may not be friday, but I am feeling it! This is more of a mid-week fOnk anyhow.

A young Prince riffin' heavy on this one. #Numerogroup does it again with this amazing compilation of Minneapolis funk and soul.

A gentle brain massage. Deep winter mood music.

'one hand reach what the other hand holdin', got a silver lining that I'm tryin' to make golden... surrounded by invisible walls'

This video is deeply mesmerizing. Something sinister and sexy lives here. This track never made it to my favourites of the 2013 mix tapes, as it just came to my attention - but check out the tunes that did here: http://www.mixcloud.com/adamharrison/informal-radio12-best-of-2013-part-2/ Onwards 2014!

One man and a piano. This album, Corollaries, from 2013 is one of the best I've listened to in a long while. Opening up doors in my brain. Lubomyr makes an appearance on the first part of my best of 2013 mixtape, which can be found here: http://www.mixcloud.com/adamharrison/best-of-2013-part-1/ You have to wait until the end of the mixtape to hear Melnyk, but I think the build-up to him is rather fine as well :)

Super sexy video edit to a super sexy jam. This makes me feel all sorts of things..

Top song. Top album. Masterpiece. The jewel atop the crown of an amazing year of music. Bring it on 2014. Number 1 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Pure magic happens here. I'm a bit tired and drunk, and it's late on x-mas eve, so my words aren't good enough for this song. Magic is all. Number 2 of: #10jamsofchristmas

This song feels like nostalgia. It feels like summer. It feels like home. Number 3 of: #10jamsofchristmas

A really slick collaboration. I dig King Krule's lazy delivery on this. Cold Spring Faultless Youth is right up there for top albums of the year in my world.

Amazing jazz sampling, with a Nina Simone cherry on top. Number 5 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Probably the coolest song of the year, the neatest remix, and Number 6 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Totally frenetic and stimulating. Can't wait for Jai Paul to properly release some music! Number 7 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Oddisee's fully instrumental release, The Beauty In All, is lush, engaging, and never tired. This one is the standout for me - give me horns all dayy. Number 8 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Hear the Junior Boys influence? Number 9 of: #10jamsofchristmas

Much-hyped artist-producer Forest Swords creates some beats that that lift Haleek Maul above his crude angry juvenile lyricism. Without Forest Swords, Haleek Maul is still a fledgling, but with him, he soars. Number 10 of #10jamsofchristmas Head's up @monisaurus

Because I need that heat! #1974

Smoove fiwf. Forest Swords is planting all sorts of seeds. Keeping my ears on him

A stand-out surprise from the pool of fantastic remixes off of JJ Doom's Keys to the Kuffs (Butter Edition). Beck lays it out!

This one may be a bit sombre for the this time of year. This one is cold and pensive, though my bones are sweaty and active. Regardless, DMST is a year-round indulgence.

Ras knows best.

This one here. This sets the tone. Not sure which one exactly, but likely some duality. Relaxation and suspicion perhaps.

Equal measures sexy and tense. This is a building storm.

Once-lost 1996 mix tape from the Bronx, unearthed in Ireland 16 years later #allcitydublin Music for warm summer drives with the windows down.

Funky melody, fresh rhymes, and some scathing vocal samples. #Brainfeeder nipping Chicago's youth.

How am I not already a huge fan his? #namethatsample number 2

Candy kisses everywhere. Pure R&B. #namethatsample

The right kind of repetition. Sampled brilliantly by Romare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne1he1i2ESI

"Come here a little closer to me" Stoner-sockhop-harmonica breakdown

A hint of Bumpy's Lament, a dash of Xxplosive, a dollop of Dirty Projectors, all baked in a Solange mould.

Snazzy Jazzy samples pieced together pretty perfectly. Something smoove on Tuesday a.m.

Soul Mann & The Brothers provided the smoothest version of this song that I could find. Dre, the dirtiest.

Here's a goodbye song to snow, though I'll miss it less than Shannon and her Clams miss Louie.

Match made in heaven. Those awesome beats are from from Mr. Greenwood's film score of There Will Be Blood.

Shlohmo owns my attention. He can do with it what he pleases.

An early week kick in the ass.

Head nods. Slow struts. Now, at the same time.

Two of the best.

Funky Friday. From a really great re-issue of his old tunes. http://truthandsoulrecords.com/

The song to perform a peacock strut in the river valley to.

Looking forward to this one a whole heap.

Strong contender for new theme song

It's less about walking and more about floating. Not gently, not gracefully like you'd imagine, but aimlessly

grimy rusty bursts of brass. say wut!?

I'll take a Thom Yorke drip straight to the brain. The king

I can't stop. Thanks A.Stewart

Going to a happy place

"he regretted killing Jesse, he missed the man as much as anybody and wished his murder hadn't been necessary"

Beautiful song. Thought music.

Smoove

I'll be around for the weekend
