I'm glad that Adam Lambert did something interesting on TV for once.

Alliteration Monday: Sleeping States

Another one of my favorites -- the concept and execution are impeccable.

Frrriday: Memoryhouse

Lots of houses on this blog, apparently.


Here's a duo (Denise and Evan) from Ontario. In their words, "e.p. coming in December 2009. debut 10 song l.p. is being recorded, and will be available in early 2010."


Memoryhouse -- To the Lighthouse -- Years EP (2009)


They also link to a site called WE ARE BANDITS on their MySpace, which is where the polaroid comes from. It also has this great video posted on it by someone named Evan Abeele, who I presume is the very same from the band.



It features footage from Maya Deren's "Meshes of the Afternoon" and a Stan Brakhage film where he paints directly on the celluloid.

Ooh, how exciting! (feat. Beach House)

A gorggggeous cut from the best Beach House album to date.

(Good for one listen)

Alliteration Monday: Feisty Lashes/Double-Feature

Both of these made the top ten of that Pitchfork list.




I just like that they both involve one continuous take (fabrications aside) and whole crews that pop outta nowhere. Also, Leslie Feist and Natasha Khan look like they could be cousins.

The Moi Non Plus -- Jil Sander Makes Your Eyes Black -- The Moi Non Plus (2009)

Oh, that reminds me (pt. 2)
