When I found the above clip, I almost slid off my office chair :-) haha it raised some eyebrows with my co workers believe me! This would be one of my fav Simon & Garfunkel songs being covered by a gaggle of gorgeous men who are incredibly gifted with more than musical talents! By the looks this is earlier in their career... Love the use of the tree and the esky in the percussion section too!

It's now official... I am completely obsessed with Local Natives... and I mean COMPLETELY OBSESSED! Not only have I fallen deeply in love with their music, I have to admit I have developed a major crush on Taylor Rice!

How could you not adore this young man??? I mean really... the mo, that mouth and the sound that pours forth from it... and how cute is he without the mo in the clip at the top!!!!????

God help this man if I EVER get within about 500m of him!

Song of the Day | Washed Out

You and I by Washed Out

I'm really looking forward to checking this guy out at Meredith Music Festival this December...
I think I have developed a major crush on ambient/trip hop tunes... you can have your techno, trance and house, I'll stick to dub step, trip hop, minimal and ambient ANYDAY!!!

Recent parties I've been to that friends of friends and crew have DJ'd at have kinda left me deflated and a little disappointed with trance in particular, I think you really have to be on top of the pile these days to really impress as there are so many DJs gettin around and I for one want something more out of a DJ than what they traditionally give you! So it's nice to find guys like Washed Out that give me something I don't expect... I also have incredibly high standards and as I no longer indulge in the chemical assistance that makes some of the worst music sound good, I'm pretty critical!

I hope you like today's tune...

Song of the Day | Middle East

Quite a dark and hauntingly beautiful tune for today!
Another slice of heavenly music that I was directed to a while ago from my beautiful feathered fwend of the south...
Their EP is fantastic though I have to say i really need to be in the mood to listen to it the whole way through... this is def an EP for a late night after a few yoints! Though this song is getting a fair crack on triple J in recent months and the harmonies are exceptional, the balance of the male and female vocalists is stunning and ever so incredibly cute!
Kids from the country now how to make real music so it seems as these band of muso's are from Townsville! Happy listening kids!

I love this song so much... the harmonies make my heart feel lovesick and the sense of yearning is almost too much to bear (especially with all that keening at the start of the song), but none the less I crave the sensation and listen over and over and over again! If I actually let myself be swept away by the music, it brings tears to my eyes every time... such a journey, such an EPIC journey! These guys are pure GENIUS!!!!
