Another wonderful video from EMA

I know I just posted the video for "Milkman" by EMA. So, it's probably a little soon to be posting "California." BUT IT'S SO GOOD! Musically, it's a triumph. Earnest lyricism, buried in layers of noisy, warm, at times borderline-ambient instrumentation. It has hints of shoegaze, grunge, and country. Sung from the gut, goes straight to the heart. I just can't get over how much I love it. So, please do take the time to become fans.

A decent scan of the cover for Relax by Das Racist

Someone has to put a decent scan of this album cover online. I don't know how I feel about this record, but I do know how annoying it is not to have an image of acceptable quality for one's itunes. So, here's one of respectable size. No need to say thank you. I'm already thanking myself.
