Summer with Yeasayer

Another quick TV-inspired post today as Entourage closed last night’s episode with a track by Yeasayer, who have been one of the more interesting listens of my summer. This reminded me that Pitchfork.com had posted one of their Pitchfork Festival performances, and so I just went back to check it out. Aside from the fact that lead-man Chris Keating looks like Emilio Estevez from Men At Work, it was definitely one of the most dynamic performances of the festival. So check it out below, and below that is the song featured in the show.

Yeasayer - Wait for the Summer (Live at Pitchfork Festival ‘09)

Can’t you feel the Knife?


Grizzly Bear

It’s always tough to plunge back into responsibility after a few days of freedom, but I’m coming back around and wanted to drop something quick.

Ever since this weekend’s Pitchfork Fest, I’ve had this song stuck in my head and so should you…

Grizzly Bear - Knife

…and just for the hell of it.
Grizzly Bear - Knife [Girl Talk Remix]

A few tracks from some of the bands I hope to catch this weekend in Chi-town….(in order of appearance)


Dutchess and the Duke - Reservoir Park
Mick Jagger called…?


Yeasayer - Sunrise
excited about this one


Beirut - Postcards From Italy
a great song from a recent favorite

Sunday Funday

Blitzen Trapper - Wild Mountain Nation

The Walkmen - We’ve Been Had
heard they reach for the rafters


Grizzly Bear - All We Ask
album highlight from indie darling of the year


The Very Best - Warm Heart of Africa
awesome sounding project, but am not sure it can compete with the potential spectacle that is a Flaming Lips show


The Flaming Lips - Fight Test
craziest concert I have seen, ever
