Lykke Li – Little Bit

When I found out Lykke Li is scheduled to perform at The Wiltern way back when, I got all types of hot and bothered. Strange. It was at that moment I came to the realization I had a woman crush. Damn. It felt awkward at first, and I looked around hoping none of my coworkers noticed, but then I proceeded to convince myself what I was feeling was completely natural. Firstly, she’s a sexy Swede who makes dancing like your weird Aunt Janis at Bat Mitzvah’s look good. Secondly, she writes lyrics like “I’m workin’, to make butter for my piece of bun”. Butter for your piece of bun? You can’t deny that shit. Thirdly she’s got a bevy of odd ‘instruments’ like bike chains, kazoos, strung bells and plastic clappers that she plays during her songs, she even sings through a bullhorn on occasion.  Do me a favor, vote No on Prop 8. I want to give this chick a deserving home.

Lykke Li – Little Bit

This morning when I found out Lykke Li is scheduled to perform at The Wiltern on August 4th, I got all types of hot and bothered. Strange. It was at that moment I came to the realization I had a woman crush. Damn. It felt awkward at first, and I looked around hoping none of my coworkers noticed, but then I proceeded to convince myself what I was feeling was completely natural. Firstly, she’s a sexy Swede who makes dancing like your weird Aunt Janis at Bat Mitzvah’s look good. Secondly, she writes lyrics like “I’m workin’, to make butter for my piece of bun”. Butter for your piece of bun? You can’t deny that shit. Thirdly she’s got a bevy of odd ‘instruments’ like bike chains, kazoos, strung bells and plastic clappers that she plays during her songs, she even sings through a bullhorn on occasion.  Do me a favor, vote No on Prop 8.

This is worth sharing with the world: Amazon has about 12 free sampler albums to download, all chock full of indie music. Of course I can’t download any of them right now being that I’m in South America and Amazon will only allow me to download while in the states… But I’ve taken a peek at the bands and they have TINT’s seal of approval.

Here are a few of the artists up for grabs: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Ra Ra Riot, Death Cab For Cutie, Mates Of State, Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper, Iron & Wine, the Vaselines, Flight of the Conchords, Dr. Dog, Hawthorne Heights, Broken Social Scene, Black Tambourine, Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley, Tokyo Police Club, Evangelicals, Bon Iver, Okkervil River, Jens Lekman, Neko Case, N.A.S.A.

“Explore the best of indie music and download free samplers from some of our all-time favorite labels. This is the good stuff folks, so don’t miss out–dig through the back catalogs of these top-tier indies, and discover the quality that make these labels stand heads and tails above the rest. Check back in the coming weeks for even more free samplers from some of the greatest indie labels in the world.” – Amazon.

Very cool. Excited to grab all of these when I get home so I can wax rhapsodic about all the sweet indie bands that you’ve never heard of.
