tvb on pitchfork

soooooo shar was there, but did not make the pitchfork footage. if you haven't seen esau in action this is a nice teaser. i love how the 101 is in the background of the interview bit. making me more homesick. 43 more days until home time.

i got...

...and it's making me very happy. drinking simpler times pilser and putting this on repeat. tvb is playing cmj. who is in? you can get this happiness here in person if you live in ny or online here.

tvb at mighty

best soundtrack for summer: the very best at mighty. shar's been digging the tunes of this pairing of malawian singer and london-based deejay. i first heard of him on a mix from all songs considered early this year. his sound infuses tradition african beats with some the popular names of indie rock, like vampire weekend and mia. they are the best tunes for the summer of '09. i'm still not sure why it's not infusing the streets and more importantly beaches. dowload it off their myspace page. you won't be sorry.

so kids of the east coast get your arses to lpr for his set tonight. you won't be sorry. look it's esau shedding his jacket to get into his groove. you don't wanna miss that.

lastly listen to esau's new track with ezra koening of vampire weekend off his official album to get you in the pre-concert mood.
