Yeasayer, HEALTH, and Fleet Foxes, Oh My!
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008
The Take Away Shows, if you haven’t seen them, are brilliant. I first fell in love with them when I saw a clip of Sufjan Stevens singing on a rooftop while trying not to be blown off by crazy winds. Last night I checked in to see a great clip of Yeasayer in Paris. I just love the energy and excitement that these impromptu shows capture. That feeling of being young and in love with music and seeing life as a world of possibilities. Or maybe it just seems exciting compared to my evening of Family Guy reruns and eating my feelings.
There’s another clip of this sort of excitement over on Pitchfork featuring HEALTH. For the life of me, I can’t ever remember having that much energy. Even when I was young and full of sugar, the most energy I ever had was when I beat a video game and would run around the house telling my family members who could care less. Sorry, yall.
And because I’m in a sharing mood, here’s a couple songs that I’m loving at the moment. Enjoy.
Fleet Foxes – “Mykonos”
Yeasayer – “2080″
Also check out Beach House’s video for “Gila” on Pitchfork. I’m scared of the kids making music today. Eep.
