Zach's Notes:
1. This is my song of the summer. I crank it up every time I hear it!
3. I am a sucker for guy-girl octave harmonies I think
5. Even though the words are a little weird, I love the swells at the end.
7. This song is my guilty pleasure of the summer. I feel like I shouldn't like it, but I can't help it
8. I love the lo-fi video game feel to this.
10. This song gets stuck in my head a lot too. Owen has a lot of nice melodies.
13. Too short! What a great catchy song!
15. Her voice gets me every time at the chorus. Kind of like a young Gwen Stefani
18. Nick Smith told me I should listen to Grizzly Bear months ago and I should've. This song is awesome!
19. Much more focused in sound than their early stuff. Simple and catchy.
Enjoy!
First of all, I was super stoked to see this nice little package in my mailbox. Only to find out, not one but THREE CD's were in this lovely gift. I will be glad to participate in this program you got going on.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures of your travels are amazing! Looks like you're having a great time.
You will have to wait til next Thursday before I can manage to send out what I have planned. This graduate student thing is more expensive than being an undergrad!
Thanks for the good tunes, I miss you pal!

As for the tunes, and I hate double posts on these sorts of things.
ReplyDelete1. I love all of this indie rock, with electronic undertones.
2. The tracks by Phoenix, Plushgun are sweet.
3. The Burning Hotels - My New Romance: I've heard this song before! I can't place it, but the first time I loved it! Now I know who it's by!
4. "I Wanna Kill" by The Crocodiles. I dig the 80's style synthesized drums. Reminds me of The Cure, or any other big 80's band.
5. On to my harddrive they go, so that I can blast these out of my car!
