I’ve been bad at reading my blogs and writing anything. It gets that way in the summer I think; last thing I want to do is write.
Anyway. I really like the new album from Santogold. Perfect summer album. Here’s the single L.E.S. Artistes (iTunes) from their self-titled album.
Looks like Kermit the frog has gone to pot. Check out this video using the great Elliott Smith song “Needle in the Hay” (iTunes).
The Sad Kermit Website tells the whole story of Kermit’s sad decline.
Outside of Radiohead (because Radiohead is in a class by its own), I have two favorite brit bands – Travis and Elbow. Elbow is more consistently great. Their album Leaders of the Free World was brilliant. They recently released their new album, The Seldom Seen Kid – and it is also brilliant. Here’s a video from the album for the song “Grounds for Divorce”.
Going away for a long weekend to Pittsburgh to hang out with some friends and catch the Phillies at the beautiful PNC Park so what better band than Vampire Weekend? (Work with me ok).
Anyway – any excuse to put the “A-Punk” (iTunes) video on my site, I’ll take. Catchy summer song. We’ll definitely add it to the road trip playlist.
