WRSTLRS video!

WRSTLRS - Tiny Mirrors Minotaur Windows

Willow Smith

A much missed pop music blog would have probably burst at the seams upon seeing this.

'Impressed' is a word that doesn't convey what I feel towards this song and video. 'Awe', that is better. Awe.

YAAKS

A blog new to me -- and pretty bloody awesome as it goes -- known as My Band's Better Than Yours recommended and hotly tipped a very fresh band called YAAKS. Who currently there is fairly little to say about.

A band with the mission statement:

"YAAKS ARE SIX MINDS PLAYING MUSIC TO BEST PORTRAY THE THOUGHTS OF JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU"

Nice. Attempting to portray political philosophy through music. That is a sure fire way to, not most girls' loins, but certainly mine.

They sound fantastic too!

Banjo or Freakout

Banjo or Freakout is the act supporting Gold Panda at the above gig -- and the other dates on the tour -- which I am going to tomorrow night and am rather giddy about.

Could be promising...

P Money

Effortless. This is brilliant. I love P Money.

Kinnie The Explorer

It is a sound of music that almost inherently causes me to use oxymoronic phrases to describe it.

So I won't bother embarrassing myself. Just check out Kinnie The Explorer.

James Owen Fender

I heard this ages ago, wrote myself a little note to check it out, then lost the note and have today just found the note. James Owen Fender is a new artist that is beginning to receive a lot of good chatter from all the people you want to notice you. So largely me blogging the track will do little-to-nothing in furthering his musical career.

The Cloud is possibly the most Northern idyllic, indie-pop song to come about in a long time. I really like it. The more I listen to it, the more I seem to smile.

And, the icing on the cake is that it is filmed in Filey. My Dad and lovely step-family live there. And The Boyfriend and I have incredibly fond memories of visiting. We'd love to go now, but it is such a tourist seaside town that we can't get a bus there this time of year. And whenever we go it is always basically cloudless skies. Just like the video.

So I'll dedicate this to my Dad and step-family. And the featured charity shop.
