04/08/2010 | Music | Jens Lekman – Night Falls Over Kortedala

I present to you one of my favorite musicians of all time, Jens Lekman. To me Night Falls Over Kortedala is a series of everyday experiences set to music. It’s honest, it’s a bit tongue-in-cheek, and it’s beautiful. I’ve added the track A Postcard To Nina to the music player at the bottom.  I hope [...]

28/05/2010 | Les Presento: Fito y Fitipaldis

When I was in Spain I got to know this band called Fito y Fitipaldis. First of all, they’re amazing people. Second of all, they’re so hot right now. I’m pretty sure I heard there music every ten minutes on the radio.  I’d added their title track Antes De Que Cuente Diez to the music [...]

08/05/2010 | What Are The Chances?

With about a week’s notice I bought a ticket and jumped a plane to Spain to see – and photograph – my favorite band of all time.  This I’m pretty sure you’ve heard.  Yesterday I met up with Victoria, their road manager, who told me on the way to the concert that she and Lichis, [...]

07/05/2010 | Segovia, Spain

It’s always weird when I arrive in Europe because I miss a night of sleep and all of a sudden everything is way older. I studied in Segovia during college, and it hasn’t changed much, but there’s a lot more diversity.  When we were here in college we stuck out like crazy because we were [...]

13/04/2010 | #Vinyl Obsession + WBR’s Because Sound Matters

As Kess has already indicated, I have an ongoing obsession with vinyl records. When I found out about the Warner Brothers Records vinyl store, Because Sound Matters, I was unable to control myself. Thus the pictures below. Please, if someday you call the studio and we don’t answer, send help; we may be buried under [...]

23/03/2010 | The Avett Brothers | Our New Wake Up Music

Every morning we wake up to music.  Lately it’s been I And Love And You, the Avett Brothers somewhat new release.  If you haven’t listened, listen.  I added a track to the audio player at the bottom of the screen called January Wedding. The Avett Brothers’ official page The Avett Brothers on MySpace.

12/03/2010 | Weird Music Friday | Hol Baumann

I’d place Hol Buamann’s music in the minimalist / experimental / ambient category.  He’s French and his real name is Olivier Orand.  I think there are some really cool sounds on this record and it’s definitely worth a listen.  I love working to electronic music because without words it sets the mood without giving you [...]
