Tennis "Young and Old" - 2012 LP

I made 2 great decisions today....1. To do some sketching on the beach....2. Put on the new Tennis album whilst drawing.........So the story of the band Tennis is that of folklore at this point.....Their first album came to the band on a boat while sailing the ocean blue......Neoooow with their Sophomore album the band recruited Black Keys drummer and burgeoning producer Patrick Carney.  The result?....A mature/pop/clean produced/power pop/hints of doo wop/rad female vox/magical goodness.....A great album and fun listen:

Storychord......A Very Unique Blog with Rad Content

Man.....to be honest I don't know who told me about Storychord or how I stumbled onto the site....but I'm very glad I did......Storychord is a rad idea.....They take one fiction writer (Corey Eastwood), one artist, and one musician (Christopher Paul Stelling)......The result of the unique combo is a very gripping story with cool visuals and sound.  I'm very proud to be featured in the 43rd story....Read it below:

Craig Finn "Clear Heart Full Eyes" - 2012 LP

You may recognize the name Craig Finn from The Hold Steady....They're a rad band.....i'm a big fan....Matter of fact I think they're one of the greatest living bands....A lot of that has to do with the unique delivery and vocal stylings of Craig Finn....It's hard to pinpoint something so unique....kinda a hipster Springsteen meets (insert fav. beat poet)....Whatever it is, this solo album finds Finn incorporating a little southern twang and Jesus lovin' with his Brooklyn street wise cracking lyrics......this album is awesome and a fun listen....
