We Were Evergreen

Of Monsters and Men - Love Love Love (Live on KEXP)

Beautiful song.  When I play it I like to change the lyrics at the end of the first verse though.   I think it should be "Well maybe, I know" instead of "Well baby, I know "

Derek Paravicini - British Musical Savant

Is it not amazing to realize how little we know of how the brain actually works.  We know about the chemical and electrical signaling that is taking place, and we try to map out how the connections correlate to one another, but really we know so very little.  How do all these signals and such turn into the complex and beautiful thoughts and memories that we have in our minds all the time, while still keeping our bodies functioning and alive?  And how does a premature, supposedly damaged, brain like Derek's here, store and create such mindbogglingly beautiful music?  We may have mapped out the human genome, and we may know everything about the evolution and maturation of the brain, but with all we have learned the brain is still mystifying us.

Man Man

Amazing what kind of great stuff can come from a group of uninhibited musical drunks.  Enjoy!

The Paper Kites - Featherstone (Official Music Video)

Ennio Morricone - "the crisis"

I find this song to be one of the most profound and beautiful pieces of music.  It is just the same repeating line over and over, but it all the same it is amazing. 

The Kooks

So, I went to the kook's concert last night and it was so awesome.  Here is a taste.

Let's Dance!

how about no more of this:

and a lot more of this:

Gray or Grey

Yesterday as I was driving to work, I was thinking about how much I love gray skies.  It seems, that the gray brings out the rest of the colors and really makes everything more beautiful.  As I thought about that, I realized that my life is full of gray.  I love sad music, books, and movies.  They make life and its experiences more beautiful, or at least my perception of them.  Just a thought.

By Your Side - Matthew Mayfield

I don't even know where I found this song or this guy, but I really like this song.

Iron and Wine

So I went to the iron and wine concert in salt lake a couple weeks ago.  It was good, but done in the wrong venue.  Soft beautiful music like his should be played outdoors or in a theater with seats, where you can sit back and take in what is being sung.  Here is my favorite Iron and Wine song.

The Occidental Saloon

Incredibly well done videos of quality local musicians here in Provo, Utah.  I was was amazed when I found this site. check it out.

The Take Away Shows - LA BLOGOTHEQUE

I have been lost in this site ever since I found it.  It's just has movies of tons of incredible bands, most that I have never heard of, playing live in random places around the world.  I haven't listened to anything that I don't like yet and the filming is interesting and beautiful.  Be warned if you are busy don't click on the link or you will be sucked in.
