I want to go to there...

California Academy Of Sciences

Road trip anyone?

The Specials - Pressure Drop 1996 (get it)

If you want to put a smile on my face, and watch me jump around like a jackalope: play this song.

(also amazing is the original, by Toots & the Maytals, or as C likes to say it, “Toots & the Mayduls”

Beirut - Postcards From Italy 2006 (get it)

When there is no hot apple cider to be found anywhere in the city of NY, this song and it’s company will keep you warm.

Thanks.

Some idiots at a bar in Maui.

Benji Hughes - Tight Tee Shirt 2008 (get it)

"She used to be a paralegal."

(Not the lyric, but I wish it was)

"There is no substitute for good meat."

Solange - Stillness Is The Move (Dirty Projectors cover) 2009

All your favorite indie music blogs have already written about this song. All I want to add to the clamor is that I feel this is the best example of an R&B artist covering a rock band’s attempt at R&B, and thus paying the ultimate compliment, since Aretha covered Let it Be.

The Arcade Fire - Wake Up (get it)

I hear this song and I want to drag my bare feet out of the muck, across the rocks, into tall grass and run ‘till my lungs hurt.

I want to take my bear feet, claws, fur and all, and crush the earth, kick dust, stomp puddles, climb the tallest tree and ROAR at the top of my lungs.

I started playing drums with the band Heroes of Popular Wars, about two months ago. We have not yet played out (details to come, as soon as I have them). In the meantime, here is a video that the band’s creator, Stephen Sykes made recently. The song is off of the band’s 2009 release church and mcdonald.
