But I’m not gonna complain about the heat because Duncan is getting forest fires.

Real talk: I’ve been listening to a lot of folk this week. The Folk Festival is starting up soon here in Ottawa and I’m quite excited to get myself a Ukulele from the artisan tents over there. They custom make them for you! (from what I hear)…

MOVING ALONG but keeping the theme of Folk music,I love the intro to Beirut‘s My Wife, Lost in the Wild. There’s actually a funny story on how I discovered Beirut a couple of years ago…

The story starts about 2 years ago when I heard about this metal band coming out of Lebanon. Clearly interested I started doing my research in trying to find the bands name so that I could listen to these guys but accidentally found Beirut(the band) in the process with his song Postcards from Italy. I did however eventually find the metal band I was looking for to begin with (BLooD InK) but ended up finding another treasure in the process :) . The end.
