Where the Wild Things Are



Spike Jonze is directing the movie adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic and beloved children's book: Where the Wild Things Are. So far, visually it looks amazing and like it will be great fun however the movie won't be out in theaters until October 16th so in the mean time catch the awesome trailer here and enjoy it in HD while listening to the new acoustic version of the Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" that it is set to.

Fleet Foxes



Review: Pitchfork
Buy: Amazon

This album came out last year and made the top spot of many Best Of 2008 music lists.  It took me a while to get in the mood to listen to this record in full because of it's soft church-hall sound.  However once I finally got in the mood, I discovered an album full of luscious soaring harmonies and lovely hum/sing-along melodies throughout.  It is a record that gets more rewarding with each play.  This is the "Special Edition" version which includes the acclaimed self-titled album along with the Sun Giant EP tracks.  

Check Out: 
White Winter Hymnal


Mykonos (My favorite track)


Yeah Yeah Yeahs

I don't know why this entire post mysteriously disappeared...


Review: Pitchfork
Buy It: Amazon

I really dig this album. Much better and more cohesive than previous efforts.

The first single: "Zero" Directed by Barney Clay and shot in San Francisco.

I Need This Vending Machine



This may be a year old but it's new to me. Those who know me will know of my massive coke addiction that I've been trying to curb for the last two months. More here.

My Business



DL: My Business

This song was born out of an E/G riff progression I had came up with while jamming around in my room about two years ago which was when I was feeling pretty low and cynical. The song has taken on many various forms since then and still needs a bassline and a more definitive arrangement but here is the basic idea and groove. This is the first proper recording I've done for this song using Apple's GarageBand. I'll continue to update it as I put finishing touches on the track.

Scanwiches



The concept is simple. Delicious sandwich + Scanner = Scanwiches.
