It has been far too long and I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. After a few week hiatus that consisted of finals, superfluous amounts of wine and other alcoholic beverages, and also a week without internet, I now come to you from Sea-Tac Aiport outside Seattle, WA, as I have finally gotten a free moment to write before school starting tomorrow. 8 am tomorrow marks an awful morning taken up by business calculus which makes me want to punch babies and then a class for learning to teach the performing arts to children. I have no idea what the hell I will be doing being that I do not know shit about performing arts let alone teaching it.
Anywho, I have a few song recommendations that have been constantly playing on my Itunes. First, it is an Icelandic band named Of Monsters and Men. Their song, "Little Talks" has become one of my recent favorites. I guess I just have a thing for Icelanders since Sigur Ros/Jonsi and Jens Lekman are favorites of mine as well. Of Monsters and Men provide a fresh sound consisting of a great female/male duet with catchy acoustic guitar and chorus. Although they do not have an album to sell, their songs are easy to find to download over the internet. Below is a great live version of the song from a radio station session.
Secondly, I can always use more Edward Sharpe in my life. I have heard several remixes of "Home," but Whole-Z's remix has become my instant favorite. I first heard of Whole-Z a couple years ago for his mashup album, "Fire In The Whole", so I decided to give his remix a listen when I saw it on a music blog. In my book, it is definitely superior to the Party Supplies and Myndest remixes and it gives a new way to listen to one of the best songs of 2010.
Stay golden,
Brian
