the wonders of my world

i met a pretty awesome new friend yesterday who has a pretty awesome "Hometown Glory" tattoo. i had to ask about it, because i liked it so much. the answer was a song.

it was love at first listen.

i'm a rattlesnake babe.

guess whose baaaaaaack?!

..... THE REASON! finally! i've waited SO long for this album. fools is set for release july 6th and i can't wait to hear it. i posted a song ("this is just the beginning") off their last album back in february so if you wanna check that out.. check that out.. here. but that's not gonna be as exciting as checking out the video for "the longest highway home"... the first single off of fools!

angus and julia stone are a brother sister duo from australia who make goooooood music.

my sister played me one of their songs ("big jet plane") off their new album down the way and i thought it was so nice. so! i listened to another and another and another and..... it's a pretty good album.
this song has been playing in my head alllllllll day. check it/them out.

"just great, just great"

I can't believe I haven't posted anything about The Hold Steady's new album Heaven Is Whenever until now! I've neglected one of my favourite rock groups! The new album is awesome, definitely a summer staple on my ipod.

Check out the album and watch their performance of The Weekenders on David Letterman!

And if you get a chance, listen to Citrus on their live album :)
