second chance

Second Chance by Peter Bjorn and John

janglin remix

Janglin (RAC mix) by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is it better than the original?

there's a black crow sitting across from me

looking forward to Bon Iver's new album, Bon Iver, expected to be released around June 21st.... but can it really be better than his first album, For Emma, Forever Ago, and his first EP, Blood Bank???????!!!!!!!!!  alas, only time will tell

i must've listened to Bon Iver's first album, For Emma, Forever Ago, on repeat for a month. the most famous track on this album is Skinny Love which can be listened to below.

 

every single track on For Emma is amazing.  but,,,if i had to pick my favorites....:
Re: Stacks 
Creature Fear

Blook Bank, an EP released in January of 2009, contains four songs the first three of which are similar in style to that of his first album.... but the fourth song is an unexpected "auto-tune" track.  Kanye West did a remix with this track and renamed it, "Lost in the Woods," but i prefer the original:

Woods by Bon Iver

"Brackett, WI" is on an album called Dark Was the Night, a compilation album to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS.  by far one of my favorite

Brackett, WI

crossed fingers that Justin Vernon's second album will be just as good (or better??)! how could it be anything but?

sit on your porch and pluck your strings

Blood by The Middle East worth a listen (or ten)

all my Pearl And The Beard fans put your hands in the air

i first heard of this band when they performed at my school last fall.  i had to sprint from my physics lab to catch the last half of the performance and man was it worth it.  they are by far the best coffee shop band that st. mary's has ever hosted ..  i really envy them. so awesome i can't take it!!!!

one of my favorites:
Oh, Death! by Pearl and the Beard

they performed this clever one when i saw them for the first time:

yea and i totally dropped 10 bucks on the spot for this kewl tshirt.  it says "pearl and the beard" ..not "peril and the polarized" sorry dad. and the picture's backwards..

they also do a great cover of Blister in the Sun

okay one more: so Emily Hope Price, the cello player of the band also does some solo stuff.

check out their website:  http://pearlandthebeard.com/ they are touring this summer
