Foster the People

I first heard Foster the People in this video I shared back in April and knew I loved their sound. Now they are all over the radio and I can't get enough of this song:

Perfect for an easy Sunday morning. I can't wait to catch them live this Thursday at the Masquerade in Atlanta!

Second Chance

Peter Bjorn and John are coming to Atlanta on Thursday to play the Masquerade and I couldn't be more excited. Love this song and creative video from their 6th and most recent album Gimme Some called Second Chance.

I am also loving their funny blog, where they had this to say about coming to Atlanta:

last time we went there we went dj:ing in a bar and bjorn drank a lot of champagne and fainted in a corner.
I remember playing a madlib track and a Russian lady came up to the dj-booth and said:
-you should not play Chinese music here, people won’t like it.
No problem.

on Thursday we will bring a brand new white drumkit and a red cowbell, Björn will be dressed in black (maybe with a grey jacket) and Peter has learned a new guitar riff that is off the hook! (and also off tune).

see u soon!

Looking forward to the new white drumkit and red cowbell. And hopefully there will be no fainting in corners. 

Fitz and the Tantrums

This song never gets old for me. They'll be at The Loft this Thursday - check here for more tour dates.

Gray Day

It is 41 degrees here. 41 degrees and oh so gray. Considering just three weeks ago I was looking out my balcony at this:

And my sunsets looked like this:

Looking out the window today is very depressing. Will someone please notify Atlanta that it is SPRING? What is even more depressing is my man Chesley McNeil, the weather man on 11Alive, rated today an 8. An 8!? Is this some lame attempt at sarcasm? What kind of scale is he using? Granted, his can reach up to 11 instead of 10 (get it? 11Alive?) but what I am seeing is a 3. For me personally its down to a 2 because of the loudass lawn mower right outside. Needless to say I am desperately searching for something to brighten up my day...
