Miike Snow - 5/30/10

There are certain bands that just seem to meet you where your at in life. In 2009, Miike Snow was exactly what I needed. Their dark brand of experimental electronic indie rock picked up where bands such as Keane & Justice left off. On Sunday, I made the solo trek to LA's El Rey to see them for the second time. Let me tell you, it was very worth it!

"Black & Blue"


Outro to "Silvia"

Carney

For me, this year has been a relatively quiet when it comes to discovering new music. That is, until I overheard a discussion at work of a band called, Carney. After one listen of their new album Mr. Green: Volume 1, I was hooked. Blending the blues, jazz, and classic rock 'n roll, these guys show off their talents in every song. Adding to the band's lore, lead singer Reeve Carney, was actually chosen to play Peter Parker in the Broadway production of Spider-man that was composed by U2's Bono & the Edge. With those credits, it will be hard to ignore Carney in the months and years to come. If you like real music played by real musicians then Carney is for you.

My Favorite Movie

Three words: Wit, imagination, & animals!

Mayer Hawthorne - One Track Mind

Mayer Hawthorne. Fresh.

Doves - Andalucía

I love the movements, colors, and textures in this video. Andalucia is the region in Spain that sprouted Flamenco dancing. This is truly a beautiful video rich in culture & passion.

Doves do something to me. Their music resonates deep within my heart. Its a wonderful feeling.

Passion Pit - The Reeling

In a few days, Passion Pit is opening for Muse at Staples Center. I would seriously buy a ticket just to see Passion Pit and leave before Muse.

The Man's Guide To Love

My good friend Lolo introduced me to this ingenious new website called, "The Man's Guide to Love." Guys are always ready to rant, pontificate, and counsel when their fellow brother-in-arms is in the dumps because of a girl. Every guy has their own "proven" method to get a girl, convoluted hotness scale, flirting technique, or revelation about the mind of a woman. These discussions are thoroughly intriguing. Here are a few of the nuggets that I found:
