Sunday, November 2nd, 2008So it has taken me awhile to jump on the Lykke Li bandwagon, probably because she has been everywhere I look in the blog sphere. Well, I’m not going to deny it anymore, because her album is growing on me more and more every day. As of late, I had especially been taken […]
Micachu
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008So I’m totally in love with Micachu and The Shapes “Golden Phone” track that Vibes and Stuff had on his September mixtape. London continues to be a hotbed for music right now, and this young lady proves it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, with funky off-kilter sounds, but it’s a great listen. […]
Emiliana Torrini
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Although I haven’t purchase the whole album yet, (see yesterday), I am positive Emiliana Torrni’s third album will be great. “Gun” was the song that first attracted me to the album, a dark departure from the folky, acoustic music she is known for. It’s gritty, yet funky bass, which is essentially the pulse […]
Sasha Dobson at Hill Country
Monday, June 9th, 2008I was completely dumbfounded when I showed up to work at my restaurant Wednesday night to find that Sasha Dobson was going to be performing. Ms. Dobson first caught my attention almost two years ago with her single “Without You”, a sultry mix of folk rock and bossa nova. It’s just a shame […]
Treats from Polaroid!
Thursday, May 15th, 2008So Polaroid decided to send me those tracks that I loved….so glad…I have been listening to them on repeat. Hope you enjoy too!
I Think I Love U by Polaroid: Play Now | Play in Popup Jardin d'hiver by Polaroid: Play Now | Play in Popup Nervous Tic Motion by Polaroid: Play Now | Play in PopupI love Polaroid
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008I stumbled across this litte Parisien group called Polaroid some time ago and immediately fell in love with their relaxing acoustic music. “I Think I love you” sounds easily like it could have been on the Juno soundtrack, utilizing a ukulele and that male vs. female verse trade off that comes off more like […]
Andreya Triana
Monday, April 21st, 2008Ever since hearing Andreya Triana on Flying Lotus’ “Tea Leaf Dancers”, I have been unable to stop listening to her. Floating in that gray area in between musical genres Andreya always keeps me guessing on what she will bring to the table next. Here is a recent interview I had with her….
Q: When […]
Rubies
Friday, April 11th, 2008So I like to think of Rubies as honarary Swedes…and you already know my affinity for the Swedes and their music. Signed to Tellé records in the Norway, these Cali girls recorded part of their folky-electro-pop album in Sweden and do a majority of their tours there as well. Their debut album “Explode […]
The Submarines
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008I first stumbled across The Submarines CD “Declare A New State” in the discounted section at Amoeba Records a couple years ago. It was a great little indie/electro, very down-tempo kind of CD. However their new album, “Honeysuckle Weeks” due out May 13th, is a great departure from their previous release and […]
The Little Ones
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008Today has been a little strange…I went to a museum in Neuchatel, and I saw the little Jaquet-Droz robot/dolls from the 1700’s. They were really creepy, but it was exciting to see what they could do. They could draw, write notes, and even play the piano.
I guess that is why I’m posting the new […]
