where's my tambourine...
Ok, I have to admit I'm a bit obsessed. Kimbra reminds me a bit of Esthero with an Amy Winehouse touch. I love female singers with caramel voices and a doo-wop swag.
Seriously, if this doesn't make you tap your toes and get that love at first sight feeling in your stomach, like you're at the top of a roller coaster...then just go somewhere.
the end.

Postcards from Summer...
I'm very excited to hear that Beirut is releasing their 3rd album this year. The long awaited LP
The Rip Tide, will be released on August 30. I first fell in love with Zach Codon's work with the
exquisite "Postcards from Italy" from Gulag Orkestar. This song and I had a love affair. I can
still remember those summer nights in Ybor, driving home after a long night of dancing, cheap
drinks and cigarettes. With my windows rolled down, I would (try to) sing along with precision
on those signature Codon inflections. Beirut's ability to create an atmosphere of "days gone by,"
mixed with the underlying feelings of joy and sadness, is part of the magic.

So, in honor of those summer nights gone by... a video from the Beirut archives.
