General Specifics
In one ear and out the other
Yim Yames - All Things Must Pass (A Tribute To)
It’s no George, but it’ll do.
Listened to on my buzzzzzed walk home tonight. Mouring the loss of a band is a very real thing.
The Antlers - Sylvia (Hospice)
When I first started as a lil aspiring publicist intern I strongly adhered to the idea that it would be evil and ethically wrong to work a record without taking the time to get to know the music . Oh, little Amanda. With a client roster of 50 bands and growing every month, I’ve realized the enormity of my naivety. I’ve been working this Antlers record for a long while now, and just this past week I finally really listened. Where the hell I have I been the past 6 months? I’m putting smiley faces in all my Antlers emails from now on.
Recently watched this Townes Van Zandt documentary and I still can’t shake it. You’d never know all that was going on behind that simple Texas voice.
Benny Goodman - Sing Sing Sing
I can’t even imagine what this must have sounded like live.
listened to Youth & Young Manhood this morning. can somebody slip an eight ball in Kings of Leon ‘s food please?
The Walkmen recording new album in the office...
…which means multiple unnecessary bathroom breaks all month long.
Volcano Choir - Island, IS (Unmap)
Justin Vernon always comes through with music to fill my winter playlist.
Band Of Horses - Monsters (Cease To Begin)
For a friend.
The Avett Brothers - Ten Thousand Words (I And Love And You)
Predictability
- Me: It's rainy, cold and dreary. Guess what I'm listening to?
- Tolu: Radiohead?
- Me: You know me.
- Tolu: it could be 75 and sunny and I would have probably still guessed Radiohead.
finally saw Grizzly Bear at Emo’s in Austin. This song live was my favorite.
ACL Fest ultimate highlight: THIS moment at The Walkmen’s set
Here We Go Magic filming an Icecream Man Session by the river at ACL, using kids toys as instruments
Waylon Jennings - Ramblin Man
Country kick in full effect. Good thing I’m going to TX in two days.
