And every hour that passes
While I'm living in the dark
Reminds me when we saw the boys
Bending at the knees
Hammer
I miss you
It had been a little while since I'd listened to Jay Reatard, but last night, at the Japandroids / Cloud Nothing's show I heard "Hammer I Miss You" between sets. It was the second time in as many days and it's a terrific song. RIP Jay.

Just to be something is hard enough
There's no defense, we're good enough
The world around you is barely there
There's something wrong creeping into your life
You do not notice, you do not care
There's something wrong creeping into your life
Tonight is the night! We're going to see Cloud Nothings and Japandroids! They're two of my favorite bands and I couldn't be more stoked. I thought of cueing up a song of one of their latest albums, as they're both stellar, but couldn't decide. Instead, here's one of the Wavves / Cloud Nothings collab, No Life for Me, which is also stellar.

Wild heart, dressed in jewels
She on a mission, don't you know Ruby rules
Fire up, turn it back around
We can see you rising up about the crowd, you're far away but we can hear you shout
IDER was one of the bands I discovered while listening to Iceland Airwaves playlists. Unfortunately, we didn't catch them, so I can't speak to their live show, but their music is mellow, engaging and beautiful. I've been rolling through their catalog and it's been a bit hard to choose a Most Important, so if you like "King Ruby" be sure and check out some more, it's fantastic.
