So this blog is really for me myself and I, I'm pretty sure nobody else has ever read a single post. But I put notes here about cool songs and shows so that I'll remember what I was listening to at a certain point.
To that end, I heard two really cool songs on Andy Langer's Next Big Thing show on 101x this weekend:
1) "Two Weeks" by Grizzly Bear. Hooky pop, crazy video here.
2) "Percussion Gun" by White Rabbit. The crazy Burundi drumming reminds me of when Dave Barbarossa was the drummer for Adam and the Ants. Video here.
