Reflection. Analysis.

I don't do nearly enough reflection and analysis in this space.  That should probably change soon.  I think I'm afraid that I won't find enough new music to really keep me interested, or that what I have to say about anything won't be anything to keep whoever might read this interested.  I could write about music that really does "it" for me, but I don't want this to turn into sentimental crap.


I've been listening to a lot of the new Beach House record.  It's beginning to grow on me  And I'm always listing to bands like the Lassie Foundation, Starflyer 59, and Unwed Sailor.  I'm looking forward to something new that can really get me going in the head, hard, and pants. 

Cooper Pots

This is one of those songs that always gets me thinking about starting a band.  I listen to this band a lot, which explains all my half-cocked ideas that lead to delusions of grandeur. Quickly, Robin, to the basement!

Mark Mallman

Saw Mallman at 80/35 yesterday.  Despite the heat, he rocked it like he always does.  I came across this stripped down version of "True Love" that I'm mostly posting because the guy that introduces the video looks awesome.
