Crowd Surf Off to Sea

Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton - Crowd Surf Off A Cliff .mp3
Here is a beautiful, heartbreaking sad song by the beautiful Emily Haines. As depressing as it is, sad songs are good for the soul. Happy listening.

The Lords of Dogtown


Dr Dog's new album Shame, Shame is expected to be released April 6th. This album is said to have a more modern and edgy sound, compared to previous works. Dr Dog is commonly compared to the likes of The Beatles, or The Band, but I think they do their own thing. Their new single, Shadow People, still sounds a lot like their old stuff, and I think that there's nothing wrong with that.

Seabear is Swimming Again


Seabear, the lovable folk band from Reykjavik, Iceland, is back with their new album, We Built a Fire. I believe, that this album was supposed to be released in March 2010, but as it is out at the moment, enjoy it now.  On another note, I'd just like to mention that band member, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir, makes all the album artwork and videos by hand. I admire crafty people.
Here's the single version of Lion Face Boy.

and here's their new music video...

Copenhagen is the Place




I recently discovered that there's a blog entirely dedicated to posting pictures of fashionable people riding beautiful bicycles... It's called Copenhagen Cycle Chic, and it's pretty inspiring... click here. These wonderful people will ride their bicycles through a foot of snow, and they'll even carry Christmas trees home using their bikes!! After seeing this blog, Copenhagen is officially my favourite city that I've never been to.
