Gayngs featuring Glasser
It is really early in the morning and this is just what I needed to get this Friday started. Love this mash up between Gayngs and Glasser. The midwest produces some really great musicians.

Cold Cave - Life Magazine
It is snowing outside my window and somehow, Cold Cave’s newest video, “Life Magazine” is the perfect contrast - or perhaps, compliment.

Hope you’re all enjoying this gorgeous Monday Labor Day. I’m off to a family cookout, but I’ll leave you with these jems from Sin Fang Bous (see: Seabear.) Loads of layers, textures, feelings here. Even if you can’t get into the sort of progressive sound, you have to love these videos. xoxo.

Wilco Will Love You, Baby
Today’s the day, kids!!! New Wilco from my boyfriend Jeff Tweedy and his cronies. I’ll be heading out to Best Buy to pick up my copy later on. Sometimes iTunes just doesn’t cut it, ya know? You want the experience of the album in hand. Plus, you can give your friends a smug look when they tell you that they ripped a copy from some sketchy corner of the web. If you get the album, remember to look for me in the photographs!!…I would friggin’ die.
Check out “Wilco (The Song)” from Bonnaroo. I got to see it live when they played Milwaukee, its definitely a jam.

Doves are headlining at the Vic in Chicago tomorrow (Friday) night. They are out promoting their newest release, Kingdom of Rust (2009, Heavenly Records). I will most certainly be there!

Here’s just a fun photo from the other night at the Pabst. Happy weekend everyone! I’m off to Gallery Night.
PS! The night of the second show, we got to “participate” in a photo shoot for the new Wilco album cover (tentatively called Hemispheres.) By participate, I mean stand in a line while a photog snapped pics of the side of our faces. It was fun no-less. Maybe you’ll see my arm…and then I’ll be famous. hehe.
Lykke Li!!
I’m so excited because the Pabst sent out an email this afternoon to say Lykke Li will be doing a Milwaukee show in August. She’s brilliant in her own right, but she’s also been doing some awesome collaborations lately (Bon Iver, El Perro Del Mar, Kleerup, NASA.) I heart her so count me in…and watch this amazing acoustic version of I’m Good, I’m Gone.
One for the Road
I’ve got a fantastic roadtrip soundtrack prepared for my weekend jaunt. I wanted to post a video of my favorite song from the mix, Lifetime Piling Up (Talking Heads;) but alas, no such video exists.
Download the song if you don’t know it. Its the type of jam that might change your life. I’m trying to justify it as my wedding song one day. And with that, I’m off…see you Tuesday!
