After a huge Tuesday in music last week, this week has proven a bit more subdued. I still managed to dig up 15 new tracks for you (it wasn't too hard). Snoop Dogg released his new album, and yeah, it's pretty good. In large part because Pharrell Williams handled production. It pairs well with the warm weather. I've included another new song from Hot Chip, just in time for a new LP that drops this upcoming Tue., May 19. It's been four years since we've heard anything new from Incubus, and the Cali outfit just released a new EP, the first of two that are expected in 2015. And then there's the excellent new outing from The Helio Sequence… The latest edition of Weekend Tune-Up features cuts from all these artists, plus many others you likely need in your life. Play on.
