Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr. If You're Nasty)

yep, this guy. if someone from Grizzly Bear is involved in something i'm usually fairly interested. Grizzly's bass player (and resident moon faced super white dude who kind of creeps me out in that one exploding head video) Chris Taylor, who co founded Terrible Records, produced Twin Shadow's first album "Forget". In addition to my affinity for all things Grizzly (and grisly) I've been exploring further reaches of music I sometimes gloss over or don't listen to enough. I'm sure there's a Nick Ahloe out there with a canon packed full of snarky bits about "hipster bullshit" but oh well. Sometimes I just want to listen to a guy from the Dominican Republic with a Little Richard approved hairstyle serve up some chilled out 80's vibes. Twin Shadow is definitely music for long car rides and sweaty summer nights. Check out his website and watch a video here . ALSO! Just watched this video from the deliciously poppy locals Hidden Pictures...

Pretending Not That I Don't Know

My dreams last night were strange, perverse and scary. I'd call people to see if they were okay if it didn't make me seem less so. I've already had a recent dream related "coincidence" and don't need to feed my anxieties about having one on the scale of my mother's. I digress. I am looking forward to a weekend free of performing and looking forward especially to our show with L5 at Davey's May 6th. Those dudes are pretty cool. Watch the video for "Winded Road" here . I don't know the name of the first song but it's a jam. For "Winded Road" fast forward to 3:33. Note the laughing creepy "PIZZA POWER" logo. I was at this show and not only was the band terrific but cute long haired women served me homemade pizza. Sometimes Lawrence wins. (Only sometimes.) The Grisly Hand Sour Babies L5 (Lawrence) Davey's Uptown May 6th, 9:00 pm $5.00? 21+ FUCKIN GO
