from lands

my buddy just showed me how to set up torrents (because i am have the computer savvy of a stupid fat baby) and i am officially having a field day. here are two things ive really wanted to lately and was able to find

first the old, Francoise Hardy. a french singer from the 60's in the style of Yé-yé. and man oh man is it fun. i think hardy's crisp, clean french words have rekindled my romantic heart. april march even does a cover of one of her songs. both versions are great in their own rights, but for very different reasons. Francoise Hardy brings a sense of nostalgia with out being melancholy for the most part.


and now the new, sigur ros, with Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. this album is for the most part more upbeat than their other stuff, which i really enjoy. this album is more for waking up to and less falling asleep to, like their past albums.
