Woods

So yeah, sorry about the long absense. been stuck in Malta in dance music hell. I have my top 10 list of most overplayed songs in Malta.. I'll post that when I get time. but now on with the show...




Woods is a New York based band who just released their 4th album in April called Songs of Shame. They are I guess what you would call a psyche/folk band, but even though their sound is very minimalistic and despite the fact that the vocals sound like Neil Young...if he got kicked in the balls, I feel like they have more to them than just folk. It's more than just a 60s hippie vibe too, but I can't place it though... if anyone can tell me what they sound like, feel free. Here have a taste...

Sarah Jaffe



It's local thursday, and today we are talking about Sarah Jaffe... the metroplex's favorite redhead hailing from Dallas Tx, and bringing you that indie folk that you desperately crave in the age of nu rave electronica. She'll be at ACL too... that's all I got.. I'm was formerly sitting at a bar in Malta listening to people sing along with Kings of Leon. that made me happy.

Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees.



So, I'm flying out to Malta tomorrow for a couple of weeks, so if my posts aren't as regular as usual, it's because I'm in an island paradise. unfortunately working. But I do hope "You don't miss me" which is why I posted this song by Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees. Because Lets face it, not all bees are thoughtful. some of them are downright dicks. Ruby Jean and the Thoughful Bees are an electro punk outfit out of Halifax Nova Scotia Canada... headed up on vocals by the ever so lovely Rebekah Higgs. I'd describe them as a mix between Freezepop and Daft Punk. I know they are Canadian, and that's usually a Wednesday play, but I think I will still be flying on Wedneday, so it works out.
