I'm late for the farmers' market...yikes...I love my late mornings, but I need to run today...
Just wanted to say that thebest band around right now is VAMPIRE WEEKEND. They are very NPR-esque, and I think I first heard them on KCRW...they are boys out of NY singing some good, funky stuff with a west african beat...and I think one is Parsi...
Anyway, I love them and Oxford Comma and Mansard Roof just get me dancing and happy.
Like meeting and clicking with new friends, being introduced to or finding new music is such a pleasure...at moments you feel like you are too old for new stuff and then you turn the street corner...of course, like old friends, old music has as special place in one's heart. I attach songs to most of my friends and they evoke some special memories of our times together. I have a special Brussels' mix that I think I'm going to make for friends...in fact, a few months ago, N (who is now in Mali), sent us a link to a Madonna song with a note that it reminded him of us at Le Presidente...and I nearly cried through my laughter, with the strong feelings / memories that resurfaced. How lovely!!
If I have one strong feeling that is little explored, it would be nostalgia...inherited from my dad!
Enjoy the clips...tell me if you do...http://www.vampireweekend.com/music.php
