short posting...

A summer's afternoon reading Shantaram.

Seapony came out with a record LP with 3 songs earlier this year. This song, Blue Star, is off the album Go With Me and newly released as of May 31st. Basically they can be explained by this quote
"Seattle’s Seapony sound like they could have been on a cassette the cops found locked away in Phil Spector’s vault when everything started going wrong. Luckily, this is not another time capsule band produced at gunpoint. The sunny and sad, jangle- ‐pop romance bundled inside “Dreaming” gives the track a foggy, delicately scuffed nostalgia reminiscent of the breezy, honeyed hits of bygone days." – Altered Zones 





Ganglians - Valiant Brave
Description: It’s a chorus of voices, a lot of reverb echo, some electronics of the messed up cheap variety, or toy pianos. It’s far away…a little underwater. A lot of noise and yelling, a garage a thon, sounds recorded live in that way that most live stuff doesn’t come close to. 





Monsters of Folk - the Right Place
Monsters of Folk is an American supergroup, consisting of Jim James from My Morning Jacket, Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes, and M. Ward of She & Him. Look them up on Wikipedia to learn more! Alright!





Rainbow Arabia - Without You
Hey these guys are cool! They've been dubbed 4th World Pop due to their representation of various cultures and eras in their music. 

In the Summer summer...

So I used to have this obsession that still kind of holds true. It has to deal with my love for Great Britain... a  place I have yet to see, but I'm sure I'll love it. hahah

Anyways, British bands por toi.

Austra - Beat and the Pulse


The Generationals - Greenleaf


Beat Connection - Silver Screen

If it's quiet....

This one is different. These are all songs that are pretty well known except maybe Walkabout, which I just found out was collaborated with Panda Bear. Who knew? Just found out that I liked Panda Bear from the weekends at Chase Ct. and apparently I heard a taste of them early in September.

Anyways this blog is themed towards that feeling. It's a common feeling that revolves around the want to wander. I just couldn't get to sleep, thinking about road trips in the summer, or flying somewhere, or hopefully going to India/Asia within the next year. I just started to feel antsy with the fact that I feel so stationary going to school.

Over winter break I was able to hike, watch surgeries, run, just spend time finding bands, and I didn't want to go back to school in the slightest. I feel most at peace either in nature or running towards a future destination, or just running in general. So it gets just frustrating studying and studying when I want to just meander up a mountain and make a day of it, sit by a lake, make a makeshift raft to hang out on. So this is for that feeling. These songs will get me through the next four weeks when I got sick of school about the first week of winter quarter.

Modest Mouse - the world at large


Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day & For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti




Atlas Sound - Walkabout


The Dodos - Jodi

Tell your story before old age kills your plans

The blog is centered around When Saints Go Machine. The song posted is Fail Forever. This band is from Copenhagen and coincidently enough if you like them on facebook, you cannot read a single status they post because it is in another language. I don't know much else really.



Grouplove - Colours. Yes they spelled it the British way, but they are however an American band that formed on the Greek Island of Crete while doing an art residency....? residency? I thought that residencies were reserved for surgeons and dentists, but apparently artists can do them too. Anyways, they've been touring with Florence and the Machines. Cool.



Caribou - Odessa. Good shit. Caribou used to be Manitoba but was threatened to be sued by the Dictators frontman who liked to call himself by that name. If you're wondering, yes I did get all this information from Wikipedia. I decided to put some effort into this blog.



Wesafari - Matchbox. Wesafari started in Boston with Rick Wright and then moved to a Seattle group when band members were met. They're chill.



So Made In Heights - All the Places. This song is from album Winter Pigeons (songs to raise your dead spirits). I guess that's all I'm going to say about that.



Last one. This is by a Welsh band called Friends Electric and the song is Golden Blood.
