Today's Playlist

This morning, I'm just really loving these four songs. No surprise.

Fruit Bats "When You Love Somebody"

Discovery "Osaka Loop Line"

Phoenix "Long Distance Call"

The Decemberists "We Both Go Down Together"

Concerts

This summer was crazy with concerts. I wish I had posted right after I had gone to each show but here's a list of the greatest hits since I last posted:

VAMPIRE WEEKEND 09-15-2010 Radio City Music Hall

They were everything I love about Vampire Weekend.

Perfectly awesome.

BEACH HOUSE With Vampire Weekend

Zebras. Become obsessed too.

INGRID MICHAELSON 10-13-2010 Best Buy Theater

Easily my favorite female vocalist.

BESS ROGERS With Ingrid Michaelson

She's also got an 80's cover band... come on.

OF MONTREAL 09-18-2010 Terminal 5

Weirdest. Show. EVER.

JENELLE MONAE With Of Montreal

My surprise of that night. I which I knew about her before.

PHOENIX 10-20-2010 Madison Square Garden

Consistently the best live band I've ever seen.

DIRTY PROJECTORS With Phoenix

Boys and girls. Killer tunes.

MICHAEL BUBLE 11-28-2010 Madison Square Garden

Love, love, love.

Phoenix/Passion Pit

I went to see Phoenix and Passion Pit last night at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park. I don't even know what to say about it except it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. I went by myself and it was still crazy amounts of fun. They cranked it to 11.

Passion Pit

I feel like I may be a little late jumping on this but I've been really into Passion Pit lately. I'm going to see them open for Phoenix in late September so- bonus. Basically, this song has been on repeat for me.

Cover Art

I didn't get a chance to blog about this before I went to work this morning: I'm in love with the cover art for the new Phoenix cd. After a little investigation, I found out that it's done by British artist Jody Barton. The rest of his stuff doesn't really look like this but kudos on an awesome cover.

Current Obsession

I can't get enough of this song and I've just discovered the wonder that is Phoenix. They've been around for a while but I've never really listened to them until now. We listen to the new cd at Urban and by far this is my favorite track even though I thought they kept saying "Like a rhi- like a rhino!" ps. they're not! And their new cd has awesome cover art...
