A little bit of me inside you, gathering what you've lost.

Got to see a special acoustic performance from Kings Of Convenience yesterday
at EMI/Capitol Records in NYC that ended up with them playing in the stairwell.
It was a lovely short set featuring new tracks from their upcoming album, including this one:

Also, they're still in town, playing a sold-out show at the Bowery Ballroom tonight.

Riding on the freak train, where there's a whole new story there.

I already dug The War On Drugs and now completely love the new Kurt Vile solo album, "Childish Prodigy", that's about to come out as well.
This track is perfect for riding the subway.
Just put on your headphones, crank it up and people watch.

Stop making that big face.

Congratulations to Warp Records on 20 years of making progressive, challenging, raw, beautiful, ugly, bizarre, inspiring creations.
If you're in NYC, celebrate with them during the next few days as they're having parties, shows and screening all over the city:
I'll be there.
Here's to another 20.

Women of the world take over. Cuz if you don't, the world will come to an end and it won't take long.

Working on a bunch of projects today and as I was nosing through tracks, I came across this.
An oldie, but a goodie.
Figured it'd be nice for those who may have never heard it.
Plus, I completely agree with the sentiment.
And funny enough, throughout my life, I randomly find myself having these lyrics pop up in my head from time to time.
Just roaming around, singing this song.

They say that they want you when they don't.

The first time I ever saw The Dodos was a few years back at Todd P's party at SXSW.
It was one of those times where you just stumble in not expecting anything in particular and then walk out blown away.

 This is my favorite track so far off their new "Time To Die" album:

Dusk before my very eyes.

OK, Yo La Tengo, I am falling back in love with you all over again.

(P.S. I was trying to post the track "More Stars Than There Are In Heaven" but apparently the file is too big to post).

Love on and in the sea.

Yeti is the best.
Seriously.
Amazing writing, interviews, ideas, art & music.
Just picked up issue #7 from Other Music the other day.
This track by Moon Duo comes from the CD included with the zine.
Big ups, Mike McGonigal.
I miss you and Portland.
Keep on keeping music alive and thriving.
