Andrew Bird - Full Performance (Live on kexpradio)

It’s nice to hear a little about how the newest album was conceived.  I’m also a rabid fan of Danse Caribe and love this version more than the album.  So beautiful - M

Setlist:

Give It Away
Danse Caribe
Orpheo Looks Back
Eyeoneye 

METRIC - Speed the Collapse 

I’ll admit I wasn’t a fan of their first single. I do like this song quite a bit.  I’m a pretty rabid Metric fan so regardless I’ll be giving the album a listen when it’s released on June 12th.  - M

Cursive - Drunken Birds (by SaddleCreekRecords)

After several weeks of work related hiatus.  We now return to our regular program with a newer video from Cursive. - M

nprmusic:

Valtari, Sigur Rós’ first album in four years, is a collection of moodily gorgeous, slow-paced sound-washes. With the notable and remarkable exception of “Varúð,” which builds to a crashing climax in the spirit of the band’s recent classic “Festival,” little here deviates from the absorbing minor-key gloom of albums like 2002’s ( ).

Stream Valtari now.

nprmusic:

Regina Spektor’s first new studio album in three years, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats finds her scattering in several directions without losing sight of the sweet melodies that make her so accessible.

Stream it now :D

Zoe Keating - A Take Away Show (by LaBlogotheque)

Sorry Tumblrerers…I’m bogged down with work lately.  I’m also sorry for the way this video was filmed.  My suggestion is to put it on and close your eyes or do something that doesn’t involve looking at the video.  I’m all for artsy videos…but this is ridiculous.  It’s definitely worth listening to though.

I shall return soon with plenty of music until then go outside and enjoy the sun :) - M
