The Look Back

Kickball National Championship Tournament in Vegas this weekend. Watch for Costa Messy on Sportscenter Saturday night when we win the 72 team tournament.

Zero 7 – The Road

Came out of nowhere with this beautiful record. Different from most of what I have heard of Zero 7 in the past but something that I’ve had on repeat and find soothing beyond belief.

Karen O and the Kids – All is Love

It didn’t grab me at first listen but the opening “1,2 ready go!” I’ve had in my head for the last week. Very cute and something I could see kids really digging and something that parent’s aren’t going to want to blow their brains out over having to hear it 1000x a day.

Fuck Buttons – Flight of the Feathered Serpent

Mellowed out on the noise and made something that is possibly commercially viable. Crazy as that sounds from Fuck Buttons.

Vampire Weekend – Horchata

All blogs are required to post this song this week or they will be taken down. It’s mandatory, Al Gore told me.

The Mountain Goats – Matthew 25:21

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” – Matthew 25:21. If you don’t get moved listening to this song you need to evaluate what you hold dear on this earth. He’s said in recent interviews this is autobiographical regarding his mother in law’s death from cancer. The verse is very fitting for someone passing on and having that faith that there will be that voice on the other side saying, “job well done. Welcome home.”
