Talk about a song that makes you happy and sticks in your head. I know that those can be the worst kind but this one is worth it. Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend steps in to help The Very Best on “Warm Hearts of Africa”. I love the video with the green screen and dorky dancing. A lot of fun. Enjoy.

Thanks again to my friend Chris, I was introduced to the band The Veils, and indie/alternative rock band that is led by vocalist and guitarist Finn Andrews. They’ve had numerous splits, band member additions, and three albums, each with a distinctive sound. The most recent, Sun Gangs, was released in April of this year and features one of my standout tracks of the year, “The Letter”. The album as a whole is still growing on me but I’m sure it will. Neither Chris nor I can’t figure out why The Veils haven’t made a bigger splash in either the U.S. or Britain. But sometimes, it takes 4 or 5 albums to do that. Here are a few links if you’d like more information:The Veils on Wikipedia, The Veils website, The Veils myspace

I absolutely must dig out my cd’s by The Knife and listen to them. For whatever reason, I never got into them at the time that my friend Chris sent them to me but I’ve since discovered Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson, who is one half of the Sweedish band The Knife. Seven is the fourth single to be released from Fever Ray (Karin’s first solo project) and while I’m not quite as into this song as I was Triangle Walks – the previous single – the video is really quite interesting. Karin has a wild voice and she can also be heard on two tracks on Royksopp’s Junior and one on The Understanding.
