Jonsi - Time to pretend

It was bound to happen; a MGMT cover. Here is Jonsi's version on piano of time to pretend. I'm actually kind of hooked on it. Very very cool. I don't think you can actually find that track on the album below, just on the stream.

Neon Indian - Sleep Paralysist

So while the track I have here is not available on the album proper (search the interwebs and places like elbo.ws to find a copy) the musical style is very interesting. think the next incarnation of the MGMT style. The intro is amazing, and in a way reminds me of the denouement from revenge of the nerds (yes, the first one). Or, hit play below to hear it on youtube.

Ish - so I've been really bad about consistently posting on my non-photo blogs. My bad. Here's a little taste of what I've been up to though. 

No surprise here, we were getting ready for St. Patty's day so there was much Gaelic Storm to be had including their new track, raised on black and tans. Good stuff, the trend will likely continue through this week :-)

This is totally stuck in my head right now...for all you soul coughing fans out there!

Oh My God - Ida Maria

This is seriously infectious in a good way. go watch this, now.

Gaelic Storm - Me & The Moon

So who, you may ask, is the band I've seen more times than any other band? Easy I say, it's Gaelic Storm. I have to thank by good friend Mark for introducing me to them in late 2006/early 2007. Since then I believe I've seen the band in the neighborhood of 8 times. They are good in the studio, but it doesn't even compare to their live appearances. This song is one of those highlights that has the entire crowd roused and singing along. Simply stunning. I'm hoping the DVD of their milwaukee show from Irish fest last year will be out soon. I can't wait to check it out!

It's Jamie Cullum day!

Haven't heard much yet, but what I've heard, I've liked.

Sweet Talkin' Woman - ELO

So this will be short and sweet, since I'm having some connectivity issues today. This is probably my favorite ELO track of all time, and I love me some ELO. Seriously groovy, just something about the harmonies, driving drums and orchestral swells that really grabs me, you know? This is a track you just have to check out.
