Everything and nothing (my music muse)

so what have i been up to in the last 3 months... well as the title suggests ive been busy with nothing.  but what i have been up to (other than partying), is racking up new music, starting a new degree and building my dvd collection.

so my music muse for March 2009 is...

Bon Iver - Blood Bank EP

 

I found out about Bon Iver through his first album 'For Emma, Forever ago' in 2008, beautiful album, very touching. Any way a friend and i went to see him as part of the sydney festival, to cut a long story short we thought the starting time was the doors open time, needless to say we missed most of the concert, bar two chords of the main set and the chorus. The day after i saw that encore i went and bought this ep and i must say it is phenomenal, four tracks of absolute gold!

While i wont go in to much detail, a lil while ago i had a music swap with a friend of mine. I probably got about 1500 songs off him, he got around 2500, needless to say it was worth it. As a result i am recommending you listen to Patrick watson - his song ' the great escape' is absolutely beautiful, also have a listen to ida maria. Apart from that take a page from Matt Costa's 2008 album 'Songs we Sing' and go nuts with it

My Music Muse...

Ok, so I saw this clip on rage a month or so ago, really loved it but forgot the details, I just had a jumpstart to my brain and I remembered. 'Caravan Girl' by Goldfrapp. The video features a surfer girl skating around free to do whatever she likes, it really made me want to dust of my ol' board and go for a skate, or even just design and order a one of deck for my own use.
