Hey it’s Monday and here’s what I was listening to last week. It’s surprisingly different from last week, with the only hold over being Mr. Banhart. I’ve had the new Holiday Shores album Columbus’d The Whim for a while now but for some reason I’ve been listening to it a ton, along with the new Princeton album Cocoon of Love and Surfer Blood’s Astrocoast. Air’s Love 2 is kind of a constant for me, it’s perfect music for walking around town or heading somewhere on the bus. I don’t know much about Horse Stories but he’s kind of folky but with a lot of great instruments that really round out a great sound.

What about yourself?

    I pulled it out of the shelf this week. it was lying there for about 6 years(!). Don’t know how it got there. Never gave it a listen till few days ago, And I must say it’s really great.
    Nice to find these kind of things at home.
