Weekly Music
You guys send me the best music lately:
Reader Katie sent me this crazy town awesome video that a collective she’s part of, Sirocco Research Labs, made for the band Megafun. There’s so much going on it warrants a few watches!
I meant to post this video that another Katie sent me (I swear I didn’t mean for this post to have a Katie theme) after seeing my post about home. It’s from Seattle band The Head And The Heart and I like to watch it at least once a week. It’s so, so beautiful. They won’t let me embed the video here (boo), so promise me you’ll take the extra finger clicking effort to watch it on vimeo.
And lastly, reader Sarah sent me this AMAZING Herman Dune video featuring John Hamm and a puppet. You may have seen it by now, but I had not, and it’s a must see for the adorableness and great song.
ps. The new Fleet Foxes album, Helplessness Blues, is out now! Get it if you haven’t, you won’t be disappointed.

If you like the Head and the Heart (which I do!) you should check out their Fuel/Friends Chapel Session here (http://www.fuelfriendsblog.com/2011/03/24/the-head-and-the-heart-the-first-fuelfriends-chapel-sessions/)
AAAAAND, I have a music/video suggestions. Cataldo (I know, I know, their last album came out in 2008) but they have a kickstarter page going right now with a BEAUTIFUL video and sneak peek at their upcoming album. Do it.

I almost quoted The Head And The Heart in my comment about your Home post, but I didn’t for some reason. I’m glad that someone else did! I caught them when they were in Nashville (on a recommendation from a friend in Seattle), and they are phenomenal. So glad to see them getting some love from you.

great videos! I’m actually digging the lead singer of Herman Dune more than John Hamm- what??
