The Winter Webb

A song off the cuff

I recently rediscoved some old recordings I had made with my friends sitting around my apartment with microphones and beer.  This song featured Heather who came up with these lyrics on the spot.  I had forgotten what a beautiful voice she has:

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - "Heart in Your Heartbreak"

Saw the PoBPaH at Slims earlier this month.  They put on a really great show, one I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did.  Afterward I bought their new album.  This is one of my favorite songs from it.

Passion Pit - The Reeling

Ok, ok, I'm little late to the party but I've been really enjoying The Reeling by Passion Pit lately.  The video is great too:

 

Letting Up Despite Great Faults

With such a descriptive and meandering name, "Letting Up Despite Great Faults" gives "Pains of Being Pure at Heart" a run for its money and are likely rued by marquee workers everywhere.  The musical styles are different but the tone of both are a kind of ambiguous bittersweet nostalgia for love and youth.

Here's LUDGF's "Our Younger Noise":

 

And my old favorite, PoBPaH's "Everything With You":

 

Geographer - Kites

A San Francisco band I just heard about.  Apparently they were playing somewhere along the Bay to Breakers route last weekend.

Washed Out - You'll See It

This band has one of my most favorite descriptions of their music on the iTunes store:

Washed Out is Earnest Greene, a young guy from Perry, Georgia, USA who makes bedroom synthpop that sounds blurred and woozily evocative, like someone smeared Vaseline all over an early OMD demo tape, then stayed up all night trying to recreate what they heard

Yah, that.

You'll See It

 

Never ending math equation

Saw this on the side of a U-Haul truck this morning:

I have a guess, but can anyone definitively say what this equation represents?  Bonus points; without googling do you know where the title of this post comes from?

The Suzan - Home

For some reason this song by The Suzan makes me want to take a roadtrip to someplace I've never been:

 

Home

 

Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You

Yah, you

 

Viewfinder

Recently I've been going back to a lot of bands I haven't listened to in a while and I've found a few sticking in regular rotation.  Viewfinder is one of those bands.  Part pop, part emo, most of their songs inspire a dance-y riotousness over anyone who's ever caused you pain.
