I know I am getting into them later than most folks, but Grizzly Bear is such a talented lot of musicians. They not only all seem to be able to sing, but also play multiple instruments. It’s pretty great what the Brooklyn music scene has created in the last half-decade.

Great read, indeed. Particularly towards the end.
Excellent Article by the NY Times about the troop surge. Worth a read to understand how the decision was made.

The XX played today in Boston at Newbury Comics
I can’t believe this. Today I downloaded their album and they were playing in town!!! And I missed it! I actually walked right past the venue at the exact time and had no idea they were there. Bah!

Amazon.com MP3s rock!
I just purchased my first MP3 album from Amazon.com. I had no idea what I was missing. What an easy process! It even automatically adds the songs to my iTunes library — no need for importation.
Anyway, I just downloaded The XX after discovering them in Last.fm’s Best of 2009 list. Their sound really resonates with my tastes — minimal and beautiful indie Brit music. Just awesome, trance-inducing tunes.

I discovered the Kooks my freshman year of college. I haven’t listened to them in a while, but just came across this gem. Solid acoustical talent and vocal harmonization.

Hmm.. Not quite enough action to satisfy my Seagal fix. I was hoping for something a little more like this.

Whole Foods Hot Bar
For lunch, sometimes I grab something from Whole Foods because it’s convenient and the menu changes every day. Today they had three different kinds of egg rolls: mushroom, shrimp, chicken. Usually their themed foods are hit or miss, but these egg rolls were pretty damn good!
Alright, time for a siesta.
