This Doesn’t Wear Well, but First Time Viewing is Fun…

Video here. Sara showed me this.

Speaking of Kila…

I don’t know that all of you have any history with this band, though most of you received an Irish cd at some point with some of their music on it. Their latest album is a series of slower, more sombre tunes, but their musicianship still shines. I thought the video was kind of pretty [...]

Another Recommendation in the Vein of Ned

I’ve been listening to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, and think you guys might like the recommendation.  You can download some free tracks from their album here…including the song reinterpreted below. I found them thanks to video below, one of the most endearing YouTube videos I’ve seen in a long time….  Hope I’m not [...]

Localities MT: Twin Cities

I thought I’d feature some music that I’ve discovered lately from each of our cities.  Peters may have to settle for Lawrence — I ‘m not sure if Lindsborg is churning out new music.  So I found this band called Now, Now (formerly Now, Now Every Children) and like their music quite a bit…catchy and [...]

Cover Me Music Thursday

So, I didn’t think anyone could do Peter as well as Peter could, but Bon Iver comes close.  I realize in this rendition how much of a “big indie” Gabriel is.  Bon Iver keeps the things that make this magnificient, and adds a texture all of his own.  It builds, I like that. Also, with [...]

This ellicits a smirk from me.

This is One of My Favorites
