was in a hurry to grow but i been changing my mind and learning how to take it all in a day at a time

Today is Thanksgiving and I can’t think of a better track to tie to the holiday than the groove-hop magic of “Sunflowers.” Portland’s Jellyfish Brigade are new to my ears and I am certainly thankful that I have heard them now. Reading the band’s story about the song shows another kind of thanks:

"Sunflowers" was created after a summer of running through the woods, jumping off of cliffs and bridges, lying with loved ones, starting fires, releasing our debut project Gills and a Helmet and growing vegetables. Somewhere in the midst of all these happenings, we decided to write a couple songs about the fun we were having.

Thanks for summer, thanks for sun, thanks for friends, and thanks for fun. Thanks Jellyfish Brigade. Their debut EP Gills and a Helmet is out now at their Soundcloud.

[MP3] Pyyramids – “That Ain’t Right”

no i don’t wanna break your heart but i think that i might

♫ Pyyramids – That Ain’t Right

Listening to “That Ain’t Right” alternates between audio bliss and feeling like my speakers are haunted by some sort of beautiful ghost. Pyyramids have nailed that kind of simple throwback rock that is so often attempted and so often fails. It;s no surprise they know what they are doing, one half of the L.A. duo is OK Go’s Tim Norwind (the be-speckled one). I wouldn’t be mad if this project takes up more and more of his time…

Whats up big pimpity pops? Welcome back.

Its Thanksgiving and time to break away from your ever so important Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Stumble-upon, Myspace (insert joke), Spotify and all things in the cyber-world. Finally, take a minute and give thanks to the important things in your life like the Family, Happiness, Food and of course The Burning Ear. You might be thinking “gee Joel, you kinda just contradicted yourself there with the whole cyber thing”. Well,… I think you’re a contradiction.

Enjoy!
