A storm is going to come.

It's easy to hear a song and like it instantly. It's easy to find a song via shows, or movies, after someone has already found it. Well this guy I found via la blogotheque in which artists play their songs live. They are called take away shows and most that I've seen were in Paris, France or Lykke Li performed in San Francisco, CA. Well this guy is Piers Faccini and he was born in London, England, making him instantly cooler in my eyes. Check this song out.

This other band, Port O'Brien is an American band that I found easily watching a British show Skins, notorious for good music, good characters, and amazing accents, thanks to Paige for showing me the show. Where would my life be without it? Anyways, this band is indie and just wicked cool.

I Woke Up Today

Leap Year

Stuck On A Boat

This next band is a Seattle native group. They were once known as Pretty Girls Make Graves, but are now known as the Cave Singers. I mean this music is funky fresh to the extreme. It might not get much better than this. Could you expect anything less from a band from Seattle, where the music flows like the freaking Puget Sound. It's easy to expect good music to come from Seattle.

If looks could kill

If you know me in the slightest you'll know that I've been obsessed with British music since as long as I can remember, well really just the UK in general. So it won't come as a surprise to know that I knew about a lot of British pop and punk and indie before it really hit the US. My friend Paige can back me up that I really did know about them first before they even got signed in the UK. So what up now?

Anyways this band isn't quite as obscure. In fact it's name is Camera Obscura. Now this is kind of cool because the object camera obscura takes in an image and projects it onto a screen, which was initially what photography was until what has led to user friendly cameras. This band is from Glasgow, Scotland.

Some good songs.

If Looks Could Kill

French Navy

Tears for Affairs

On a different note, this band is from Berkeley, California. Their name is the Morning Benders and they blow my mind. I don't know much about them except that I like them and they've played on tours with some of my favorite bands. Ra Ra Riot, We Are Scientists, White Rabbits... the list goes on. They have two albums out and I've mostly just heard songs from their recent album, Big Echo, but all the songs are really good.

Hand Me Downs

Cold War

Excuses

This next band is honestly awesome, Broken Bells. It has to be with producer Danger Mouse and James Mercer, the lead singer and guitarist from band the Shins. The two decided to work together after Mercer collaborated with Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse. Broken Bells only has one album, self titled Broken Bells.

This blog has transformed. I once thought I would talk about my trekking around in nature because I love stuff like that, but turns out I don't really like to write about it. I like to talk about it, but not write about it. Sharing music is something I love. I love knowing a band that someone would love. So here are a few of my favorite bands. Some you'll probably have heard of, and hopefully some you won't and now you'll know and love them. On all the songs you can click on the music player to get the name of the song and download from divshare. Usually the first song listed under good songs for each artist is the song playing.

Probably intermittently I'll post photos. Photography centers me, along with music. There's nothing that really sets my world at peace than trekking out with my camera and my music. Scratch that, watching surgeries and knowing someday I'll practice medicine puts my world at peace, but so does music and pictures. I'm not real knowledgeable about photography but I like it and if I happen to get a picture I think is cool, well then I'm going to post it. Simple.
