Lets get going again

Since I am going to start to update a little bit more I figured I might go back to my old school ways and give all of you a couple of musical picks. Over the last few months I have picked up a fair amount of music, anyone that knows me knows that it is sort of an addiction. So anyhoo I have a couple of groups to force on you..


SPOON- They are not a new band, they have been around since 96' they cut their teeth touring allot with Pavement, and anyone that is a fan of Pavement would have heard of this band. Here is a link to get a taste of what they are like. I say go run out and get the album, they are also on iTunes

THE EVENS- Now here is a band that I have taken a big liking to. I picked up their album back in Novemberish, the band is a 2 piece consisting of Ian MacKaye who is essentially one of the main contributors to the best music ever "Punk". Ian was a member of Minor Threat which was one of the bands in the D.C. sound, and started the straight edge movement. He later was in Fugazi, only one of the most amazing bands ever. The other contributor is Amy Farina who keeps the tempo, and sets the pace. She also sings and for those of you that know the history was a member of "The Warmers" which Ian's brother Alec was a member of. So since Fugazi is on an indefinite hiatus they started to make some sweet sweet music, and I must say I am glad they decided to . I am highly recommending this album, walk.... no run to get this.
Here is a link to buy it http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/7302622/a/Get+Evens.htm

So Ian... Amy.. If your out there, great job.
