Let This Colony Know

For Jose Martinez, who claims to be into raw folk-y stuff at the moment but has never heard of Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston - Held the Hand

-Shannon

New single from the man. Not sure how I feel about the track, and I love Donny and all but….

Bonfire - Childish Gambino

-Shannon

My favorite track off the Drive soundtrack. It’s pretty great - Cliff Martinez’s scores are rather dazzling and the sythy feel of the rest of the songs gave this movie a cool 80s vibe with a modern twist. The movie was great, and the soundtrack really enhanced it. First purchase I’ve made on iTunes in a long time (granted I have this $100 gift card to the store I got free with my MacBook and nothing to spend it on, but that’s besides the point)

Nightcall - Kavinsky & Lovefoxxx

-Shannon

There have been tons of great albums this year and more to come, so over this week I’ll be posting some of the highlights of 2011. 

Bon Iver as you know, recorded his first album by himself in a cabin, but for the second album Justin Vernon expands to a full band sound.

Bon Iver - Perth

- Ryan

So it has been awhile since either myself, Ryan, or Shannon have posted any sort of anything on this thing.

We are happy to inform you that we will be back on here to post new musical interests, discoveries, and reviews when we can.

So, to start things off, here is the current opening act for Bright Eyes on their tour, which I will also be doing a review of sooner or later.

First Aid Kit - You’re Not Coming Home Tonight

-Trey
