In celebration of me being in Austin Texas I would like to share a beautiful diddy from the capital city’s best rock band Spoon. I am not sure if this is even an official video but it is my favorite song of theirs. Keep Austin weird, and please no Austin Massachusetts jokes!

Ida Maria Børli Sivertsen is a Norwegian bad ass rock singer and I love her. She has that 3 packs of Marlboro Reds voice. Her whole album is great. Between her and The Shout Out Louds, Scandinavian rock can not be effed with.

Tegan and Sara – Call It Off

I just discovered this video for a beautiful diddy off “The Con” Love these ladies and love the one walking around the outsides (whether it’s Tegan or Sara I’ll never know) velcro canvas shoes.

This Book Is Broken is a lively oral history of Broken Social Scene, the Toronto cult indie-rock band that doubles as a collective, cottage industry, and self-described beautiful mess. Writer Stuart Berman has pieced together the band’s story through interviews with all 18 members, as well as their Toronto peers, international allies, and childhood heroes. Exclusive photos, gig posters, and artwork — most of it provided by band members and associates
