Here's looking at me kid

The Locals Abroad

I whole heartedly agree with Cheryl. A new album would be nice, fellas! Local Natives is one of my favorites. I particularly love the hauntingly beautiful sounds created by their take-away show in a fancy-pants shopping mall.

feelin' the bango & ukulele these days.

Throw in some low-fi recording with harmonica playing and perfect-pitch whistling, and I'm just a goner. That's all there is to it. I'm not sure when it happened, but I'm just a sucker for some gold ol' fashioned southern-inspired music.

Some boys from my town have a beautiful sounding band that hits me right here (here being my music soul, I guess?). Fast Molasses and the Flavored Blacks have come a long way since they made this trippy video two years ago, so if you're into this kind of music too, check out their Myspace page. (My friend Josh is the guy in this video, and fortunately, he has changed his hair since then. ;))

More modern faves from roundabouts this genre:

• Alexi Murdoch
• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
• Elliot Brood

Where Is My Mind

I thought this was absolutely beautiful, and perhaps you will too. P.S. Sometimes I want to be Greta Garbo.

Making an LP Jacket

Not only do I adore this song, but I totally want to be hanging out cutting up stuff and making an LP jacket too! Hey friends in bands... let's do this. Seriously. I have so much stuff we can use!
