Vampire Weekend and a Penguin

At the Lock Tavern this past Tuesday, I happened upon Chris the bass player from Vampire weekend performing a free DJ set, and an Australian man in a penguin costume. Chris played Discovery's So Insane, which I requested (and blogged about before); he pleasantly responded to my request with 'I'm the bass player.'

Better Together

My IPOD at the moment is full of music love children all of whom are worth sharing. Discovery, which is a side project of Ra Ra Riot's lead vocalist Wes Miles and the keyboardist from Vampire Weekend Rostam Batmanglij is dominating my songs of summer. I've also included a few other one offs like Simian's new song featuring Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, and St Vincent the National's crooked fingers cover. Enjoy.
