Real Estate again!

I'm really like Real Estate. I am however hungover the fact that I could have saw these guys at the El Mocambo with Girls this summer but opted to just catch the headliner.

I feel like I am missing a lot skipping openers but there's something really lousy about standing in a busy venue for two or three hours. I used to do it all the time in high school, it's so much less glamourous now.

pps

is this too far?

in addition -

This cover is actually pretty good.

2010 shows and "Silver Soul" in that order.

galore.

and I am so happy I finally found a live video that isn't a cover of Beach House's "Silver Soul"

Real Estate's "Beach Comber"

I am all over this song. It's funny how quiet the vocals are - it's actually better. I like the music more than i like the vocals.

They're coming!!! I'm jazzed.

Whip It!

Whip It! was Drew Barrymore's directorial debut. Barrymore has a type of movie - the romantic comedy with a dose of humility. Given - her past films like Fever Pitch, Never Been Kissed and Fifty First Dates. This film, Never Been Kissed aside is definitely one of my favourite of the Barrymore series.

The soundtrack really popped out at me. Upon hearing Little Joy's "Unattainable" in the first romantic scene and Jens Lekman's "Your Arms Around Me" for a following one - I couldn't help but think where all these great songs came from. I easily figured out the Little Joy tune - as Drew for a long period dated the Strokes' Fabrizzio Moretti - who is also one of the three members of Little Joy. The tune is dominated by the lone woman of the group - Binki Sharpiro. The album was even pulled out and glorified by Page's love interest actor Landon Pigg.

I realised that Kristen Wiig was also in Adventureland.



and Andrew Wilson is yet another acting Wilson brother.

Drew likely met Jimmy Fallon, who plays the slime ball announcer, while making Fever Pitch.

It makes me want to join the Toronto Roller Derby!

Second Chances

Everything deserves a second chance. I adore the new Beach House album and I think it is my favourite release of 2010 so far. Although, in all honesty I haven't really touched many new releases. I'm looking forward to hearing the new Collett and Zeus albums.

Right now when I have to take a break from Beach House - I have been listening to Talking Heads' "This must be the place (Naive Melody)" from the DVD Stop Making Sense by Johnathan Demme. Definitely running music.

Beach House 'Teen Dream'

This album is full of life and energy. Victoria LeGrand's voice isn't remotely as dull and heavy as on their last release Devotion. This is incredibly present on the albums second tune titled - "Silver Soul" - it has a very unique guitar line that is woven to the entire tune. LeGrand throws around her voice like she's Clare Torry the woman who sang Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" in just one take.

The biggest difference between 'Teen Dream' and 'Devotion' is that 'Teen Dream' has an upbeat feel. This album is the '60s but completely revised and renewed.



I saw them at the El Mocambo and it's shocking to see they moved not to Lee's but to the Opera House. I almsot want to go.
