pitchfork day 3! the walkmen

i love pitchfork festival. its got tons of bands i like and the whole festival atmosphere, but its super small (relatively speaking) and easier to see more shows, and i get to shower nightly. what more could anyone ask for? today is a huge day because not only do i finally get to see the flaming lips after all these years (kind of always wanted to see them, and i know their oft-discussed live show will definitely be the perfect ending to the whole festival), but i get to see some other favorites of mine the same day, such as grizzly bear, blitzen trapper, women (all 3 of whom have already appeared on dailybeatz.com) and last but certainly not least, the walkmen. …read more and hear the song…

whats with the fur theme of this site?

todays track is “furr” by blitzen trapper. im not sure why this theme keeps coming up, but it does, so im just gonna go with it. anyone whos probably ever heard of blitzen trapper knows this song, but that doesnt make it any less good. plus, like i told you before, these are really just songs i like, and not necessarily the newest or most underground tracks. its even better when you realize that its a basic three chord song that seems like a whole lot more. i know that most songs are really just three chord songs but its still surprising to me to look up guitar tabs to a sound that sounds really interesting and find out that its only three chords. its probably the tons of other great guitar stuff thats going on over the three chords. …read more and hear the song…
