my sometimes-skeptical social commentary

Archive for the ‘music’ Category

I’ve been listening to a lot more music than usual… lately, and some of it is New To Me, so I thought I would share it with you.

Music is something else, isn’t it? There are some songs I haven’t heard in years that can remind me of what was happening in the world or in my life when I first heard the song. There are some bands that I listened to so much that they kind of define a soundtrack to that part of my life. Sometimes I look back at what I was experiencing…and the songs are vivid in those memories. There are emotions that come up with some songs, and I look back at them now and I don’t have exactly the same feelings about the music, but I remember the old feelings. Sometimes they make sense, sometimes I look back and I wonder how I felt that way back when….

I’ve never heard a rock singer sing with a voice like this.

Here’s a catchy track from Animal Collective called “My Girls”

Karen O is amazing, isn’t she?

They do most of their videos in a single take. This video is a single take alright, but it was an all-nighter.
