More Music Friday
Lately I’ve been posting quite a bit of music through Blim.fm, a site that works with Twitter to post songs and videos found online to your Twitter followers. I love it, because when I hear a song I love on the radio or wherever, it takes me a bit to commit to buying it via iTunes. I’m fickle with my music, and I can hear a song that I love the first time around, just to find out that I loathe it after two or three listens.
But since some of you stubbornly refuse to tweet (Mikayla! Trent! Unamed reader!), I figured I’d post a video or track every now and then to lure you in to my indie music web. Or maybe just so you can take a break from listening to Thriller on repeat (ahem, Mikayla, cough, cough).
First up! This band is Beirut and the song is called Nantes. I can’t really describe the music style, so I’ll let Wikipedia do it for me:
Beirut is an American band. It began as the solo musical project of 23-year-old Santa Fe, New Mexico native Zachary Francis Condon, and later evolved into a band led by Condon. Their first performances were in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar. The music combines elements of Eastern European and folk with Western pop music.
Now if that doesn’t lure you in, take a listen.

[Guess what?! You can find my playlist anytime you like! Just click the link in the right sidebar that says Crazybananas Tunage. You know you want to…]
I know, I know. But really?! Can anyone top Thriller?
This bad really is great! I love the different sounds and rhythms. The guy has an amazing voice, very unique.
Twitter? Why again does everyone want to know that much about me? I talk enough as it is! If I were to twitter today it would have gone something like this:
6:04 a.m. sitting with Abby as she nurses her very fat puppy
7:49 a.m. talking to my mom about how my grandma has too much money
9:17 a.m. giving Jaimee advice on not letting his 17 year old sister and BF come spend the night
11:59 a.m. At Harry’s watching Heath kill the leasing agent woman with his eyes
1:27 p.m. just realized Cash for Clunkers may extend to 2010! Bye bye Jeep!
2:42 p.m. emailed a friend who is in Turks and Caicos about doing a wedding there for Alysia
3:08 p.m. paid the company VISA card – first real task of the day
I’m sure I went ovet the 140.825 character limit or whatever. So, did you all really need to know all of that?
Actually, remember when I signed you up for an account on Mara’s birthday…check your phone. You even have a Twitter app!
P.S. I can’t believe you actually watched a video!
I know, I thought I should at least give it a try, plus no one was looking!
And yes, you downloaded the Twitter app on my phone but you were not able to sign me up, so sad….
