Arghh! Trees!

Sweden's Taken By Trees with a very lovely cover of Animal Collectives 'My Girls'

Clark

Clark, out on Warp, so very much in their vain of music, he's being called the new aphex twin which may be a bit missleading as its not as hard, but it definately has the darker elements and is still very interesting stuff. Here's Garden Growl from his latest album Totems Flare.




While Garden Growl may be an awesome song it is lacking in the video area, this Clark video on the other hand is not...

Long walks on the beach...

I'm not one who is particularly known for their love of the beach, but this song does really do make me pine for white sand and blue ocean.

Where the wild things aren't

Where are the wild things? Apparently they are in spain...

It may not have as good a soundtrack, but it would probably still make a pretty good film

Surfs Up

Another in a line of bands (The Girls etc) with average names with above songs.
With summer just warming up The Drums are set to be our summer backyard/porch party soundtrack. Picture it now quiet redfern st, long necks and the sweet chrooning of indie boys...Lets go Surfing!


The Drums - Let's go Surfing

Coconut Records

i've had a sweet spot for coconut records ever since i heard the first album a few years back. coconut records is jason schwartzman's solo project and after writing, producing and releasing this first album on his own, schwartzman would mail a polaroid picture he took himself with every album sold. this debut album, called Nighttiming, featured duets with zooey deschanel, kirsten dunst and brother robert schwartzman, frontman of the band Rooney. cover art is done by cousin roman coppola, brother of sofia and son of francis ford coppola (now there's a gene pool i wouldn't mind diving into...) here's a new track off the second album, Davy.

Away we go...

stellar cast, stellar writer, directed by sam mendes (american beauty)... can't wait for this one.

Youth Revolt

Has the world yet tired of Michael Cera's boyish awkward charm? Well, in Youth in Revolt, we might get something new with the appearance of a badass, moustachioed (french?) alter-ego named Francois... plus well, Zach Galifianakis is in it. booya.

HBO, i want to make babies with you.
