Sir Sly - &Run

You could be another face that I forget soon as I move along
Everybody makes mistakes; am I mistaken for the way I carry on?
You could show a little grace, but maybe things just went a bit too far
We are just who we are; no time for "what if"s and "what if not"s

Heavy as the setting sun
Oh, I'm counting all the numbers between zero and one
Happy, but a little lost
Well, I don't know what I don't know

Kick my shoes off and run
Kick my shoes off and run (run, we'll be running barefoot)
Kick my shoes off and run
Kick my shoes off and

There's a hard edge to the indie electronic pop made by LA band Sir Sly that reminds me very much of Foster the People.

And they wear me down aligned with the ghosts of pain that keep me awake
Oh, the past can paralyze if you ponder the paths you didn't take

We're back! Iceland was a blast, but we're happy to be back and in the saddle. Sorry for the short interruption, but we decided to focus on enjoying all that Iceland had to offer. So, what's new? Well, this terrific track from The Dear Hunter, for one thing.

Grísalappalísa - Abc

There were quite a few in our group (ahem, Kerri) who didn't really get Grísalappalísa. I thought they were awesome and was grinning like a fool through their whole crazy set. They're a bit like an old school punk band, with flavors of ska and a lot of quirk. Here, check out this video to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
