First Aid Kit - Stay Gold *click for the single My Silver Lining*
Heard the single at the end of Tales From the Borderlands, so I went searching for the album and boy I do not regret it. Two sisters from Sweden who harmonize really well together giving it a Teagan and Sara vibe. Indie pop/folk at it's best, check it out.
Let strength be granted, so the world might be mended...so the world might be mended.
Do you all listen to any podcasts? Do you like Halo? I've been listening to the Hunt the Truth podcast series, there's some serious production value in it.
The series is about Master Chief's origin story. It's covered in the first novel, The Fall of Reach, but it's pretty stacked with an recognizable cast.
Keegan Michael-Key is the main actor, a journalist named Benjamin Giraud.
Phil LaMarr, Cobie Smulders, Jennifer Hale, Kumail Nanjiani, and several others that give their accounts of a young man named John and his rise into his role as Master Chief.
It's amazing that they brought this cast together and put forth the money for a project like this. There's two seasons, each around 10 episodes, fifteen minutes long.
Any Pearl Jam fans here?
I've been listening to Ten on repeat for about a week now, mainly because I'm having a hard time getting into Vs.
And also because I get to listen to a good chunk of it unplugged.
Any suggestions on what album to pick up next?

Sounds like the entirety of 1996 for me.

While definitely a different Sharon Needles than "PG-13" Sharon Needles, it's a definite step in the right direction.
"Dracula," the first track and the first single off the album, is brimming with vampirically sexual undertones with a melody that feels like pop music from the proverbial dark side. Shame the video has NO Castlevania references whatsoever!
One of my major faves is "Wendigo," which features the same dark pop sound as much of the album, this time with a cannibal theme with inspiration to the track's namesake. It's also the track I wanna do the music video for. It follows an author who may or may not be H.P. Lovecraft (and is possibly played by Ruby Rose in drag), who finds himself in a R'leyan nightmare landscape (with nods to Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People" video and the old Fleischer Studios cartoon "Swing You Sinners") and pursued by monstrous creatures led by The Wendigo (played by Sharon Needles), who here takes different forms throughout the video (inspired by such characters as Trash from "Return of the Living Dead", Sonic.EXE, Jedah from "Darkstalkers" and so on), all of which go with the video's theme of bodily and/or spiritual destruction, inflicted by others or upon one's self.
Also copied all my Christmas songs onto my device. They include "Last Christmas" (both the WHAM! version and the Glee cover), "Do They Know It's Christmas?" (both the Band-Aid 30 version from last year and the Glee cover), "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" (Cyndi Lauper), "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" (cuz being from the South, yours truly's grown up thinking this was a legitimate Christmas carol), and a few holiday tunes from Gloria Estefan and Sarah Brightman.
