My heart, slow down. Won't you beat a little slower? But don't stop. Never end your hunting. You'll see I'm lost without your rhythm.

As far as I know, "The Snake" from Wildbirds & Peacedrums has actually been out for sometime now,
but it seems to have gotten some kind of reissue/re-release lately,
which I'm all for, as it was a really tough one to find there for a while.
They're playing a number of times in NYC over the next few weeks,
including a show tomorrow night at Le Poisson Rouge with Deerhoof and next week with Fanfarlo.
"My Heart" is a song of theirs that I completely obsessed on when I working in London last summer.
I used to play it really loudly late at night at my desk
in the Wieden + Kennedy offices when everyone was already gone for the evening.
Oftentimes, it was after I had been out already with all my work mates for a few rounds of pints.
I'd be a little tipsy, turn it up and sing to myself and wonder where my life was headed.

Apocalypse Now (or quite soon)

Out there somewhere is the finish line.

Had a really nice summery weekend in Brooklyn.
Went and looked at potential new apartments, had brunch at Maggie Brown,
found a cafe (Sit & Wonder) nearby that sells Stumptown coffee,
met Andrew in Kensington for some hummus at Mimi's, went for a bike ride,
read some Harry Potter Order Of The Phoenix (just brushing up for the new movie)
and checked out the Afro Punk Festival block party.
All in all, a lovely time was had.

Also, just started to get into the new album from Fanfarlo.
Get ready, as I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot about them.
This is my favorite track so far:
