“Take me on back… take me back
To the place where I could feel your heart”

Neon Indian - Polish Girl

I have been listening to Neon Indian since the winter of 2009. When i first heard of them i was on youtube looking for new bands and came across their popular song Dead Beat Summer. Which became one of my favorites. I then listened to the whole Psychic Chasms album and was immediately hooked by the array of sounds i heard. With the release of their sophomore album (Era Extrana which in spanish means strange era or The Missing Era) Alan Palomo not only takes his music to another level but often times i feel like i should be in a whole different realm. Songs like Suns Irrupt, Hex Girlfriend and Future Sick take you to another place in your head. I cannot wait to see what their third album is going to be like and im sure whatever Alan Palomo comes up with it will be amazingly awesome.

Matt Costa - I Bet On Flying High - Performed Live

Matt Costa has been one of my favorite folk artists for quite some time now. The first song i ever heard from Matt was his ever so popular “Sunshine”. With his catchy acoustic riffs and meaningful lyrics. It’s no wonder every song he performs seem to paint a picture. When listening to them its almost like taking a little trip back to the early 1900’s.

The Shins - It’s Only Life -Live on KEXP

Once again, another great performance by James Mercer recorded live on KEXP Seattle. I dont think Mercer could have preformed this any better and to be honest i prefer this version over the album just because of its simplicity and strong vocals along with the bassy acoustic guitar.
