MIXTAPE: i call them summer hits

i haven't really been listening to anything new for awhile now. i miss being able to get pretty much all indie albums at red cat records, or maybe download whatever i want whenever i want. anyways, here are some tunes i'm listening to this week.

Field Music - She Can Do What She Wants



i wasn't too sure about them at first because their sound is hard to pin down. i listened to more of their tunes and now convinced that they are avant garde and catchy at the same time. what a combination. too bad the band is hibernating, i can't wait for them to come back. btw, field music says i can do what i want. woop!

The Strokes - Evening Sun



i hope someone will tell me that he loves me more than being seventeen too. julian casablancas (the lead vocal) is coming out with his solo album soon and i'm quite excited. go listen to more of the strokes because they are pretty awesome!

Architecture in Helsinki - Hold Music



i've been listening to architecture in helsinki for the longest time, but it wasn't until i saw this video that i fell in love with them. it's just absolutely bizarre to see a bunch of australian hippie nerds in brightly colored ponchos jumping on trampolines. how weird are they lol?

MIXTAPE: springtime feel-good songs or not

spring's finally here woop! some tunes for you lovelies to bask in springtime.

sebastien tellier- divine



i love this video. did you guys know that sebastien tellier represented france at the eurovision contest last year? it's a very pleasant surprise because.. umm hello? did you see all the other eurovision participants? if you haven't, do yourself a favour and go on youtube to check out some clips, i guarantee you laughter, and possibly tears! say... can someone possibly die from cheesiness?

hey ocean - a song about california



not exactly my cup of tea but it's cute enough and spring-y! ahhhh do i miss california!

manchester orchestra - wolves at night & sleeper 1972



i have said it a million times and i will say it again, manchester orchestra is amazing. this performance is absolutely profound. you know, one of those that can change someone's life forever?

MIXTAPE: canada, eh?

listening to the tea party these couple of days, i figured i ought to talk about the great canadian music scene that's going on.

although i'm a sucker for british bands myself, i have to admit that it has been an incredible few years for canadian music.

i really don't know that much about canadian music, so maybe give that a google, you will get lots of hits and information. while you are doing that, i'm just gonna throw bunch of my favorites at you. but of course, no mainstream stuff like nickelback, simple plan, or our lady peace, not even bedouin soundclash.
