Watch! The Drums - Forever & Ever Amen

So I first discovered The Drums last summer and they made quite the impression on me. Well now… I must say, I’m digging the new tracks too! They just have a way of capturing the summer spirit in their music. Their full-length album The Drums just dropped today and it’s already a contender for my album of the year accolade.

I’m also digging their latest music video and its quirky, nostalgic fun. If anyone knows who produced/directed this please send me a shout.

Pentagram Says… ‘Universal’

So I just took Pentagram’s “What type are you?” survey and scored ‘Universal’… Rational, Understated, Progressive, Relaxed.  Accurate!?!? :-/  Anyhow, after looking through the list of possible results I’ve discovered that I find ‘Marina Script’ irresistibly attractive!  So elegant and poetic yet lacking in pretension… Yes… all of you Emotional, Understated, Traditional and Disciplined guys need to call me.  Srsly!

Ohhhh The Irony…

While the major record labels were dragging file-sharers and BitTorrent sites to court for copyright infringement, they were themselves being sued by a conglomerate of artists for exactly the same offenses. Warner, Sony BMG, EMI and Universal face up to $6 billion in damages for pirating a massive 300,000 tracks.
