“Doorstep” by tUnE-yArDs

Lately, I’ve been rediscovering Merril Garbus’ knack for experimenting in mixtures of sunny pop melodies with lyrics that address social issues.

“Lights Out, Words Gone”- Bombay Bicycle Club

Drive slow on a sunny, weekend morning near Brighton Beach to this song and watch all anxiety dissipate in the silent streets.

P.S.; completely unrelated to the music but I think I love you, Brooklyn.

“I and Love and You”- The Avett Brothers

For me, for her, and for the Sunday mornings spent in Brooklyn during that rare arc of the early hours. The point after we recovered our hearing sensation from the blaring music of the local nightlife, and before the rest of the city would wake in a haze and begin to collect itself once again for the work week.

The fried eggs and french toast over conversations about our dreams, the future, and our lives, and our intense hope for these three streets to intersect, someday.

We tried making things work, but we couldn’t bear with the changes in the seasons of our lives. I’m glad I can still call you a friend and even though we’ve moved on to distant area codes, I miss our conversations and I miss you. We’ve grown apart and we’ve grown up since then, but I cant honestly say that I don’t miss those mornings. 

Let’s try fighting over the bill after dawn again, sometime soon.

Kopecky Family Band’s Tiny Desk Concert from NPR Music 

If you have 20 minutes to spare, then by all means, listen in. If not, check in at 3:28 for “Birds,” 7:45 for my favorite, “Disaster,” or at 13:20 “Red Devil.”

A cinematic recording from La Blogotheque’s “A Take Away Show” series. I secretly want to try something like this someday.

“What You Know”- Two Door Cinema Club

Today, in bands you should see live, this summer. Quite an infectious rhythm on this track.
