Dancing Keys

As you'll see this track really wants to make you move.

The Black Keys "Lonely Boy"

Stones Roses return with Danish

So the Stone Roses are resurected.

Wish I could say that I'm excited, but I'm not. It's a bit like The Matrix: when the sequells came (and sucked) it retrospectivley gave the original movie a bad feeling.

So far the only positive effect is that I discovered that the Raveonettes have covered I wanna be adored.

The End of the National

It's a bit like that incredible Amarone you drink at your friend's dinner. Casually opening that reasonably priced Zinfandel the next day just doesn't cut it.

When I saw The National in Europe they gave me a sensation that their recordings can't match: after the concert I couldnt't listen to the records for a while.

This time I was in the company of a couple that (despite a Spotify invite) never bothered to listen to the music in advance, so we listened to them a bit the following day. Quite nice, even though most of the conversation centered around their final number.

Their closing act is really quite a fabolous thing. They gather the band center front  and play unplugged (completely). Appart from singing along the audience needs to be completely silent (as you'll notice in this clip).

Supporting The National today!

Wye Oak are supporting The National at Beacon Theatre this evening.

Wonderful track from upcoming album Civilian:

Wye Oak – Civilian - Single

Brilliant!
