Where the food sounds good, and the music is pretty tasty too.
Laura Marling is an incredibly gifted singer/songwriter whose talent is ever-expanding. I have been meaning to post more of her music and alas I have. I especially love the “I Was Just A Card” video for its beautiful display of the human form in motion just as much as I adore Ms. Marling’s wonderful voice unspooled into song. You can find this song, along with nine others on her A Creature I Do No Know (2011) release. Peace. Continue reading “laura marling // i was just a card (video)”

Christian Bauhofer is dj/producer Minnesota. While the namesake immediately brings to mind the land of 10,000 lakes, it should be noted that this young Jedi of the hype track has, or so it seems, 10,000 beats running through his head at any given time. Listen to the majesty of his astounding take on the classic “Hold Up” by the groundbreaking Dr. Dre Ft. Snoop Dog. But, this re-imagining of Dre’s is more than just dope, it also showcases Minnesota’s vicious acumen for style and creativity on the wheels. This is one young man who isn’t afraid of a challenge and he delivers marvelously. This is musical madness elevated far out into the farthest reaches of the Milky Way. After the jump, check out DJ Minnesota’s phenomenal track, “Push It,” it is equally affected with a chronic sickness. Peace. Continue reading “dr. dre ft. snoop dog // hold up (minnesota vip remix)”

It isn’t fair nor it is an easy task to try to put the band Múm into any one category, so I won’t. Especially, when they are so much more than just another Icelandic pop band. In terms of their position in the wide and ever evolving constellation of music these folk hold a singular place in my heart. Not many bands are so expansive, in that Múm will touch your heart and your head simultaneously. On June 1st the band released a compilation of material ranging from 1998-2000 (roughly), and it is beyond wonderful. I have two treats for you after the jump. One is a new video for “Hvernig Á Að Særa Vini Sína” (How to Hurt Your Friends) directed by Máni M. Sigfússon. Secondly, I have a new (downloadable) single entitled “0,000Orð“. The latter track is all kinds of dreamy accoutrement, the kind which makes perfect accompaniment to a (sought after) tranquil existence. Peace. Continue reading “múm // early birds”
