Skinny Jeans Cause Nerve Damage
Somewhere, an electroclash kitten just died …
Imagine That-Ernie
Most bad-ass song about imagination and being a free spirit and following your bliss. Sesame Street should be studied like philosophy.
Local Natives-Cecilia (Simon and Garfunkel Cover)
Silverlake natives to boot! LA music is doing well!
There are some moments in music that just stick in your brain. I remember, freshman year of college, out of sheer boredom I turned on my roommate’s TV to check out Conan. This unknown Kentucky outfit with 80’s era Metallica haircuts and flying v guitars called My Morning Jacket started playing.
I stood up from my bed by the end, unable to remain seated during a performance so ripe with passion (particularly for TV). Even Conan, as I recall, rushed the stage after the last chord and shouted “I am buying this record TOMORROW!”
Love this band.
KEYBOARD CAT!
Thanks to Jessica for this one …
John Martyn-May You Never
From the album Solid Air. Rest in Peace. Died earlier this year. A singular talent, voice, and guitar player.
Jim Croce-Operator
Also qualifies as a (soft) jam.
Set Adrift On A Memory of Bliss-P.M. Dawn
Today, this is my jam.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Chad VanGaalen-Clinically Dead
New discovery of not-so-new artist. Hooray for Canadians that like to draw (this guy!).
