Sylvan Esso - Radio

Now don't you look good sucking American dick
You're so surprised they like you
You're so cute and so quick
Singin' I've got the moves of a tv queen
Folk girl hero in a magazine
Faking the truth in a new pop song
Don't you wanna sing along

If you didn't know, Sylvan Esso is comprised of a bonafide Appalachian folk singer and an electronic music producer. Symbiotically, they make something better, more interesting, than the sum of their parts. This is their first single since their debut LP came out in 2014. I love the unique sound and provocative lyrics. Excited to keep hearing more from this North Carolina duo.

The Paperboys - I've Just Seen A Face

I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'da

Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again

We're heading up to Seattle, where both Kerri and I are from, for the weekend. As it usually does, it brings up nostalgic feelings. Ahh, the Pacific Northwest, how I miss you. Sometimes. Anyway, instead of going the obvious route, posting a Foo Fighters song or something, I figured I'd go with one of my favorite PacNW bands, The Paperboys, out of Vancouver BC. Here they're doing a jangly, Celtic version of my absolute favorite Beatles song, "I've Just Seen A Face". Fun times. See you soon Seattle! Go Seahawks!

Upcoming Shows

Waxahatchee - Under A Rock

Maybe you got your head caught in a ditch last night
I got to you, imparting
Now you're someone else's mess tonight

I've never been to Waxahatchee Creek, which is, yeah, you guessed it, a creek. In Alabama. Waxhatchee is also the work of Katie Crutchfield; well written and arranged vocal-heavy lo-fi/folk rock with a little something special that I can't quite put my finger on.
