we have a new honeybeats site! bet you thought we were slackin' eh? wrong-o. we've still been bloggin' away... just over HERE.
we still plan to keep this site up so you can come back and check out all the music - almost 3 years worth of music! crazy. but in the meantime, you're gonna wanna follow us over on our new site... which is HERE (again..)
thanks for following! we love music and we love spreading it and sharing it with you and whoever else.
every year fucked up releases a song to mark the year on the chinese calendar - after hearing the 15 minute song it isn't hard to tell it's for the year of the tiger. the song is big and b-e-a-u-tiful. although it's not actually the year of the tiger anymore, i read somewhere that a portion of the proceeds will go to save the tiger fund, so not only will you enjoy listening to it, you'll feel good about buying it too.
there's also a second song on the "album", "onno" which is a bit longer, 22 mins. you're gonna wanna sink you're teeth into that one too (puns are great). but for now........ turn your volume up and press play.
i watched the movie drive over the weekend and it has probably one of the best soundtrack's i've heard in a long time! good movie, good music, check it out.
OH PS, how 'bout them grammy's? ADELE, ADELE, ADELE. that woman is amazing - her performance was my highlight. and bon iver took the new artist award! i cheered and clapped at the TV. such a sincere and humble guy - SO well deserved! bon iver was actually offered a spot at performing at the grammy's and they turned it down. read all about that over HERE.
so my PS wasn't really a PS... but, back to drive's soundtrack.
another album to keep a look out for - heartless bastards, arrow is set for release this valentine's day.
check out their single, "parted ways."
"i need a little bit of whiskey and a little bit of time to ease my troubled mind. lost for the loneliness, so many things have changed. i just don't look at things the same way now, since we parted ways."
it's no secret that i love everything and anything deer tick.. but this band is making some pretty awesome music. check out john singing diamond rugs' song "christmas in a chinese restaurant" and then be sure to pick up their self-titled debut album in the spring.
spending the next few days packing and moving (blah). always a forward thinker, i hate to revisit my past BUT i have enjoyed going through boxes of old music. this song seemed relevant today...
if you haven't already heard.. the lineup for coachella this year is pretty amazing.
but since i won't be going, i figured i'd blog about how amazing the lineup actually is in hopes some of you are planning to go!
if you are, be sure to check out all or some: cat power, girls, m.ward, dawes, sheepdogs, bon iver, feist, st.vincent, laura marling, we are augustines, florence and the machine, wild flag, real estate, santigold, first aid kit and lissie!
my friends over at photophonic media directed and produced a music video for vancouver based singers/rappers dani and lizzy and i helped out! it was a lot of fun to be apart of (clearly - i'm laughing like a hyena and fist pumping) and see the whole thing come together.
fucked up, david comes to life! no suprise there. it's without doubt my favorite album of the year, and along with deer tick's divine providence, one album i couldn't seem to shut up about. can you blame me?
anyway, get your reading on and pick up spin's best of issue - there's a great article on fucked up which talks about the rumors of a possible definite hiatus, but it kinda leaves you thinking they're not done yet.. naw.
we are linds and angela - the honeybeats. we're just a couple of girls from the east coast who love music and want to share our thoughts, ideas and opinions with you and you..... and you.
