missed ya

sve on world cafe

tallest man on earth on xpn

best bring a smile to your face sesh: tallest man on earth on world cafe. sun is back in ny and kristian's croons are just the right recipe to get my morning started right. this is good too.

st.vincent on xpn

really digging the re-imagining of "actor out of work" complete with sax. stripped down arrangements are my fav. the sparseness in "the party" brings out annie's ghostly vocals. shar hearts annie!

tunes, tunes: new bss + beach house on xpn

best return: broken social scene. kevin drew and crew haven't made an album in like 5 years, so the new track "world sick" is a most pleasant revival. you can download the new track here. it's all the loverily orchestration that i have come to love about this canadian outfit.

shar unfortunately has not seen them live in all their glory and prolly won't since the nyc gig sold out. :(

speaking of missed shows, looks like i'm missing beach house too since that concert is sold out. to ease this heartbreak, vic and alex were at xpn for a quickie sesh. it's dreamy, floating on clouds melodies.

tiny desk concert w/ fanfarlo

shar's smitten with fanfarlo. they had her heart at cmj. so this tiny desk concert following the heels of their wxpn gig sent me overboard. can they be anymore awesome? ummm yes, check out their advent calendar. enjoy!
