Quarters for the Jukebox


Playlist time!

Ok — I think it’s time to put together a playlist for the arrival of some warm weather. Let’s collaborate. I’m thinking of doing two — one with whatever you’re listening to now, and another for music you want to enjoy this spring with (either via hammock swinging, Saturday driving, lawn darts — whatever it is you do). I say we make them as long as we want.

Who knows? Depending on the input, I might upload the lists as streaming music (or randomly mail out a couple of mix CDs). I’ll start (and make the other playlist a separate post to save space — see below). Click “more” to see my April list. Continue reading



Album — Low vs Diamond by Low vs Diamond

Low vs Diamond — photo by Autumn De Wilde 

Low vs Diamond play an enjoyable brand of indie rock (hopefully finally settled on their name, having previously played under the monikers of 1984 and Colored Shadows). The group’s music is at times a bit dark, and others, hopeful (dare I say, playful and uplifting). The album is refreshing and has earned a spot in my personal music mix for awhile — good stuff. Keep an eye out. Check for yourself.

Quarters for the songs: Don’t Forget Sister; I’ll Be; Killer B; This is Your Life; Cinema Tonight … I’m going to stop listing there, as I’m tempted to count all of them.

Worth listening, if you like: The Killers; The Stills; U2; Editors; Donut Kings; Asteria; Joe Coffee; The Strokes; The Constantines; The Bravery.
