I like this music... 'nuff said.

He's so charmingly awkward and confident about it all. It goes without saying that I love his voice.

The video is almost too hipster-y, but you'll survive. Stop whining.

Fall Loves

This is the sound of my fall 2010, thus far:

Best Coast:

This video alone makes me absurdly happy. Why? It is a crazy mixture of things I liked in childhood:

• McDonald's
• Kitter-kitty-kats
• Bicycles
• the beach

and things I like now:

• Fun boys
• Riding in cars listening to music... with boys
• In-and-Out Burger(I want to visit the west again so badly!)
• Beer

the video just introduced them all together and now I remember that I still am that little girl and love ALL of those things; except I don't care for McDonald's anymore. :)

The Strokes:

Yeah, I know this is older, but I always seemed to overlook The Strokes. I just bought their album Is This It. This song is my favorite to listen to while driving home with the windows down and feeling the fresh fall breeze after a perfect night out with friends.

Wavves:

The laid-back style and lo-fi sound of Wavves really gets me. I'm on board. You should be, too.

Another Scampi Sighting!

Earlier this month I posted a new artist with nothing but a ukulele and a lovely voice to make music. I have to tell you that I find that fact very refreshing and think a voice as pure as Scampi's should be the music itself.

Well, I became a fan on facebook. I recommend you "fan" her too (don't let the sudden flash of French frustrate you, they do have some things in English on the page). They've really gotten things rolling and keep updating and uploading videos, just like this one here:

The song is a cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black". The title of the video translates into something like "I have nothing, but my poor guitar." Well, you see Scampi, that's why we love you!

More, s'il vous plaît?

Pursuit of Happiness (Kid Cudi Cover):

Her name is Scampi.

Other than that she is French, I can't find anything else about the beauty and her lovely, antique of a voice.

She's so cute! I want to know more. M'aide!

At the end she says, "J'ai mal au popotin," which translates to "my butt hurts!" I bet so, girl.

***Thanks to mmitchelldaviss.net for the music share.

Travel By Song:

I just had a delightful trip. All thanks to the talents of Ellen Allien and Apparat on their 2006 album Orchestra of Bubbles.

Their song "Jet" acted as a warm, thumping vehicle to a state of mind I call the cosmos.

It is definitely electronic music, which I am always hesitant and hot/cold over. Thanks to grand Providence, "Jet" is a burning, glowing ember type of hot in my life :

St. Vincent is my winter

I end up always unknowingly ordain a certain band for each season. There is always just one album that it the perfect soundtrack along with the change of each season. This past summer was Animal Collective's album "Merriweather Post Pavilion." My fall soundtrack was dominated by the bittersweet feel of Girls along side the Vivian Girls. The winter of 2007 was Rilo Kiley's "Under the Blacklight."

This year my winter is full of St. Vincent. I'm basically obsessed. I was very hesitant of Annie Clark's darkness, but soon realized it is a beautiful darkness. I also came to the conclusion that those two words do not sum up St. Vincent's sound, not even a little bit. "Actor" is one of those very rare albums where I like all of the songs. Well, I like one or two and I ADORE/LOVE/JUST LOOSE IT OVER the rest of the tracks. I continued my St. Vincent journey and got the other cd "Marry Me," which is also the title of my favorite song.

The official site www.ilovestvincent.com doesn't list any shows near Mississippi for the moment. Although, I did come across some really cool t-shirts for the band. They're cheap, too! I wouldn't mind having one for Christmas... there's still time. :)

Latest Crush: Tim Fite

This dude is everything entertaining and creative. He not only sings with an amazing one of a kind voice, but he creates. He makes short films, story books, sketches, and loads more on his website at timfite.com.There are lots of fun things happening on his website, especially all of the free downloads and sharing.

Go visit, listen, and watch. You'll feel incredibly lazy and unproductive due to the heaps of "creative accomplishments" belonging to my new crush Mr. Tim Fite. I promise.

My favorite song from "Fair Ain't Fair":

Isn't he great?
