Have you ever seen the video for “Kids” by M.G.M.T.? Well, if you have then you’ve certainly taken a notice to one Joanna Newsom. I have always had a huge crush on Joanna Newsom. She is a fantastic singer-songwriter and harpist who I first saw back in 2004 at one of her Sweedish Hall / Noise Pop shows. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to see her perform at The Great American Music Hall and at The Shoreline opening up for Bjork. Newsom is an amazing talent, her album Ys was my favorite album back in 2006. She has always been lovely, but this new picture of her makes be want to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep. Some things in life just aren’t fair.

I know right? What a beautiful person. ::sigh::

Here’s the video of the afore mentioned “Kids” by M.G.M.T. in which she stars:

Joanna Newsom’s new album is called Have One On Me. It comes out on February 23rd, I can’t wait.

“All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.” -Conan O’Brien.

I’m absolutely adore the new Vampire Weekend record Contra. Early reports suggest that it’ll be the #1 album in the country next week.

Here’s an interview I did with them a few months ago at Lollapalooza in Chicago. We mainly talked about the new album:

Also, take a look at the first video from Contra, it’s called “Cousins”

Go Vampire Weekend, GO!
