some cool quirky sounds in this one:

all we ask

i love grizzly bear's Veckatimest. i was initially obsessed with "two weeks" but then as i listened to the rest of the album "all we ask" showed itself to be another stand-out track.

nite jewel

not so sure i'm a fan of a lot of her other songs but this one is lovely

DOE PAORO – BORN WHOLE

thanks again lower frequencies. my sister and i are both obsessed with this one.

sin fang bous

another swell one off that 8tracks mix I mentioned yesterday:



The Piano in this is So Beautiful!

"washing machine" mix

liz introduced me to an amazing 8tracks mix that I will be borrowing shamelessly from for the rest of the week's posts.

soooo much new & GOOD!

like this one by dog & panther:

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG.

from l.f.

With a misleadingly orchestral opening, it is a sparse track that understands that its greatest asset is the vocal line – soft and warm

chairlift

very cool. thanks again to lower frequencies.

another ok go video!

i love them.

OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck.







p.s. here's the original song (which is great):

i've already apologized for my taste for pop music

i've always loved oohs and ahhs in music, but I really really love the ooohs in this one:

it's not a new way of doing things but i love how they do it

the broken music box

can't go wrong w/melodic layers of voices
