Recent Driving Songs

I do a lot of driving for work. Thousands of miles of driving. These are some songs I've been listening to obsessively recently.

The Weakerthans - Relative Surplus Value



I really need to see these guys live. They're Canadian.





Bibio - Lovers' Carvings



Don't really need to see Bibio live, to be honest with you. But still excellent.





Los Campesinos! - This Is a Flag. There Is No Wind.



Another band I badly need to see live. They're Welsh!





Frightened Rabbit - Nothing Like You



Need to see them live too. They're Scottish.

More Owls

Owls are fucked up, Japan is fucked up, everything is fucked up.

Video Time! The Strokes - Someday

Probably my favorite music video of all time. I think looking back nearly a decade later, in the wake of the death of this kind of New York cool personified by the Strokes, Interpol, et. al., it's easy to forget a) just how amazing the Strokes were, and b) what a huge shock they were to music. But that's all beside the point. I love this video. I want to be in this video.

A Boy and His Frog - A Tribute to Jim Henson by Tom Smith

I'm going to be honest with you guys, this made me tear up a little.
