a gift for your wives

Taken by Trees is the solo project of Victoria Bergsman, better known to me as the girl from PB&J's "Young Folks" (I never listened to The Concretes). This is her cover of the best Tarzan-chest-pound inducing anthem 2009 has ever seen, just from a different perspective. I'm sure all your wives will love it:



I guess I'm the "covers guy" on here or something.

currently spinning

since i'm too lazy to find time for an in-depth post, here's a sampling of what's been on my ipod most recently. it's nothing new, many of you have already posted about these bands here. 

the only comment i have is that t"tightrope" is off of the dark was the night collection. i hadn't listened to yeasayer before and it made me download all hour cymbals. check that album out if you haven't, it's excellent.

now playing

brothersport

In the vein of what I'm listening to lately:

I've come around to Animal Collective slowly. I didn't go gaga over Strawberry Jam, but I did like Panda Bear's Person Pitch, so I thought I'd give them another go. Tracks like "My Girls" and "Bluish" got me going, but it was the synth breakdown at the 3:00 mark on the last track "Brothersport" that hooked me. Which is why I've had it on repeat this week:

Brother Sport.mp3 - Animal Collective

Sorry- Imeem is doing the dumb 30 second thing. I'm sure you all have the album anyways.

P.S. This is an interesting take on Hipster Run Off. Entertaining.

Get Excited

I'm so ready for Animal Collective's new album, Merriweather Post Pavilion. I'm sure plenty of you are excited as well. Just FYI, a bunch of music blogs revealed awhile ago that the Domino Recording Co. Australian Myspace page has the whole album up for streaming - in case you want a sneak peak. The CD comes out Jan. 20 (the vinyl has already been released).
