Slowly

Did I mentioned I almost screw up at work? Yes, so close that I couldn't stop sweating just the thought of it right now. That's why I turned to Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band's new album Outer South on my way home and drown in the folky and calming melodies. After years and years of making magnificently great albums, Conor Oberst ,alongside with his band mates, became alittle too "equally distrubuted." I do love listening to many different voices but just not those mingling with Conor Oberst's, compare to some his previous works, Outer South is kind of a mediocre one. But of course Outer South is lovely and relexing, just great for a early summer afternoon.

Sing-along

Have you seen the new T-mobile commercial? The one with thousands of people having a "Hey Jude Sing-along" in London's Trafalgar Square. You must've been kind of touched by the idea(despite some funny people in it who really can't sing), I'd love to be singing this song with a huge crowd!

The Bachelor

The Bachelor is one part of Patrick Wolf's double album Battle. This time he brings a more theatrical album with his dramatic vocal and lots of guest musicians, it's not his first concept album but in The Bachelor, you can definitely feel how brilliant this avant garde song writer is. Not an entire departure from his older works, Patrick Wolf's sound-mixing experiments can still blow your mind.

The Answering Machine

The Answering Machine is a Manchester based band. Formed in 2006, the 4-piece indie band released their forth single Cliffer this March and soon became the favorite new sound for many blogs. They're about to release a debut full-length album called Another City, Another Sorry this May. Their energy kind of reminds me of the Dundee band The View, but with a more carefully crafted edge and maturity. Always love this kind of bright and playful young British band! Check out their blog and you can see how many great bands they're into.
