Straight Outta Sydney!

A growing favorite of mine check out Jonathan Boulet. Coming out of Australia, this  flowering new artist has been making some waves in the blogosphere lately. At 21 years old, he's caught the eye of several prominent blogs with the cut, "A Community Service Announcement".  As the single of the self-titled debut on Modular Records (label for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Wolfmother and Chromeo to name a few), it's a super poppy, riff driven anthem that is nothing short of infectiously catchy and upbeat. Hopefully this guy will get over to the states soon and we can bounce around in real time to this young blood. I was kind of surprised he didn't get picked up for any summer festivals. Also check out "Continue Calling", a track that appropriately sounds like it was made during a debauchery-laden late night basement jam session.

Take Me to the Cinema

Adolescence, love, absurdity - things we can all relate too. Which is why this short film from Gastón Rothschild is so entertaining and heartfelt. It seems Rothschild hasn't made much else yet, but I look forward to his future work. Check out this beautiful little Argentinian piece to see what I mean.

Spring: Time To Be More

Spring is in the air and that's always inspiration for change. So with that, I'm trying to exercise more, be more tidy around the house, be more responsible and most importantly - write more. Expect to see some more content on here in the coming days and weeks. I've been talking to some friends about becoming contributors so that certainly increase the volume and diversity of content. I changed the blog layout and color scheme drastically for something a litle more fresh and lightweight. In the meantime here is a jam from Real Estate that hopefully gets you warmed up a little bit. With the release of their lovely new self-titled LP on Woodsist Records, Real Estate is playing the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago this summer. Expect to hear a lot more about these guys later this year.
