A new blog location, a new month, a new season what more can we ask for? New weekend bangers of course. This week I have 2 bangers because I didn’t want to have to choose between the 2. Both tracks are from the album, Dark was the Night. “…[Dark is the Night is] comprised of 31 exclusive tracks…and will benefit the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS through popular culture.” Great music+Charities= A good thing (most of the time). I’ve been a huge huge fan of Bon Iver ever since For Emma, forever ago came out. I admit I wasn’t too impressed at first, his voice was obscenely higher than it should be. But it definately grew on me and he might not be for everyone but I think he creates the most beautifully sad songs I’ve ever listened to. It’s an accquired taste, try listening to something new :V
This is another track on the album that I absolutely love and cannot stop listening too. Once again the vocalist sounds a bit goofy but his voice grew on me. I like everything about this song, the lyrics the melody, the vocals you name it. This was the first song I’ve heard from the band Yeasayer and I can say that am greatly impressed. When I first watched this video I thought the guy in the white wife beater was actually a scary looking woman with a ‘stache but upon closer inspection I realized it was a dude with some unfortunate looking hair and manbreasts.
Wishing never solved the problem so give it, give it, give it, give it, give it until you just can’t give no more. Have a nice weekend everyone.

Can’t See Straight - Weekend Bangers
February 28th, 2010 on 9:50 pm[...] love them! First time I heard them was way back in April when Annie posted the song Tight Rope on a previous post. The video is definitely a must watch and that’s why I’m featuring it here. Very [...]
I’m not sure I approve of their recording attire, but that Yeasayer song is cool. I bet the tambourine/guitar player’s name is DEANER.
This Bon Iver track is good bike-ride-on-a-foggy-day music
