Nothin' No
David Vandervelde
David Vandervelde - Nothin’ No - The Moonstation House Band (2007)
I sometimes dream to music (my favorite kind of dreams). Last night I dreamt about the one that got away… This was the soundtrack.
Not too shabby subconscious. Not too shabby.

Date With The Night
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With The Night - Fever To Tell (2003)
It’s Monday, a little past noon and I’m already thinking about Friday night. It’s gonna be a long, difficult week. And long, difficult weeks equal cathartic, fanatical Friday night festivities.
Here’s to Friday night! In 102 hours, 14 minutes and 22 seconds. Give or take…

Over Again
Red Riders
Red Riders - Over Again - Drown In Colour (2009)
Sometimes you’re just working, going about your business and you’re kind of in a zone - just super focused. And then a song comes on and knocks you out of that zone…just absolutely smacks you right upside your head.
Well…that.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Is This Love? (2005)
All about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah this afternoon. One of my favorite bands. EVER!
Love Uninhabitable Mansions, Radical Dads, Alec’s solo stuff and all of the other goodness they have goin’ on… But, seriously, I wish the fellas would just get it together and put out a new record already.
A new CYHSY album is loooong overdue.
Sleepwalking
My Jerusalem
My Jerusalem - Sleepwalking - Gone For Good (2010)
Jamming to My Jerusalem. Just recently introduced to them (thanks Nicole). Really digging what I’m hearing. This particular tune (my favorite thus far) pretty much matches my disposition this morning.
My Jerusalem is a musicians collective brought together by singer-songwriter Jeff Klein (each member played with him during his travels as a solo artist). The collective includes members that are affiliated with bands/artists like Twilight Singers, Great Northern, Ed Harcourt, Cursive, Bishop Allen, The Low Lows, Polyphonic Spree and St. Vincent. Quite a rich pedigree.
More info on My Jerusalem and stream more tunes here. Purchase Gone For Good (latest album) via iTunes.
