this song’s sweet and little—meant for early messy hair and sleepy eyes mornings or maybe the last notes you hear before sleep on a late summer evening (with the sound of crickets chirping as a background chorus.)
september’s here. where did the summer go?

i’m pretty much obsessed with this song. kinda backwards, i know, but after my ears were opened to the beautious atlas sound album (thank you, dear :k) i’ve been listening to deerhunter. the new album is called microcastle, due out on 10/28 on kranky records (home of this man, another current s! obsession….also due out with a new album this fall. yay!)
love, s.

summer fun = free outdoor music festivals where one can a. see good music b. see the ocean c. avoid getting burnt to a crisp and d. experience the strange strange alternate reality that is coney island. (click the photo fo’ details.)
speaking of summer fun: this song from the new human highway album. HH is a collaboration between jim guthrie and nick thorburn from islands. JG’s last solo effort is just a dream of an album—so sweet and forlorn and perfect, and islands…well, islands has some good moments for me on the whole. (what do i know, though?) anyway. this song is so darn catchy.

i’m not good with surprises. as soon as i get a hint of something good that might possibly be on the horizon, i turn into a quivering mess of iwanttoknowiwanttoknowineedtoknowrightnow. (and of course, when it comes to music, this happens often.) touch and go records has kindly (or unkindly) decided to feed us listeners previews of the new album by the much adored band known as the new year. it’s going to be so SO hard to wait for september, especially after hearing this clip. sigh.
love, s.

fantastique Dark Fantastic
I don’t get upset / mad when everyone I ask “.. do you know the Dark Fantastic?!” replies with “who / what?.. “. I just try to bridge the gap with 2 songs by the adored band.
One track would be “fall to my knees” [MP3 - take it] off of goodbye crooked scar.
The other would certainly be [holy fuck I love this song!] “In Love With You” from their s/t LP. I’m gonna make you have to hunt that fucker down because it is worth the effort.

hi. it’s been a while. i have lots of music related things in my head. one that sticks with me is this: i saw fleet foxes this week in an unbearably warm church basement. yes, the album has gotten itself its fair share of attention from certain places. however, i will say this: these boys really, REALLY, really can sing—the live show proves it. they’re a talented bunch, those foxes. the show was prolly the happiest i’ve ever been while drenched in sweat.
also very interesting: did you know fleet foxes features members of crystal skulls and former members of pedro the lion? news to me!
love, s.
