Flagpole Sitta

I’ve somehow fallen into a half-assed polyphasic sleep schedule this week, so I’ve just been watching silly videos tonight in an attempt to stay awake until a decent hour, instead of sleeping through the evening and staying up all night. … Continue reading

Man Man – Engwish Bwudd

Man Man is a wild, hilarious band from Philadelphia. I’m not sure how to describe them, as they don’t really fit into any genre. Wikipedia uses “Viking-vaudeville, punk-wop, and rock-and-soul”, so I’ll go along with that. “Engwish Bwudd” is from … Continue reading

Bat For Lashes – What’s a Girl to Do?

Bat For Lashes is a singer-songwriter from England. Listening to her album, Fur and Gold, is like walking through someone else’s creepy dream. I really enjoyed the whole album. She reminds me of a more mellow, less naive-appearing Bjork. I … Continue reading
