Upbeat

So I've pretty much been listening to very upbeat music lately. I'm pretty much in love with the song White Sky from Vampire Weekend's new album Contra.  I have also recently been listening to The 88. They did the theme song for the show Community. I was like, "Oh hai, I like this, and looked them up."  They kind of remind me of The Little Ones a bit.  Locksley is another band I have really liked lately.  They remind of an upbeat mix between the Libertines and Mando Diao.  I think they are releasing a new album in a few days.

Its really nice to have fresh new music to listen to.  I was just getting to a point where I hadn't had new music for a few months and was incredibly bored of what I did have.  You probably don't care about any of the music specifically but I think everyone can relate to being in a fresh music slump.





Also Bowerbirds is a band I've recently started listening to.  They are like Andrew Bird not whistling and using a lot of accordion. Oh, and heres a really creepy drawing of a hot dog.
