Musings on music, music culture, and other random pop nonsense

This Town 15 September 2010

Oh my goodness. I have had this lovely song stuck in my head all day. Ministry of Magic is a pretty awesome wizard rock band, and this is the new single from their soon-to-be released fourth album. It’s luscious, and I wanted to share. The blonde is Luke Conrad, and his other band ALL CAPS is also getting a lot of play on my iPhone.

Another wizard rocker, Alex Carpenter of the Remus Lupins, has also put out an EP of songs based on the Hunger Games trilogy. The song “Freedom in Panem” is also getting stuck in my head a lot, and I highly encourage you to buy the EP and enjoy it while you read.

So, yes, I’ve been listening to quite a bit of literary music. Mainly these guys. But it’s good, right? I’m getting back into Dresden Dolls mode, because the Dolls are doing a reunion tour! And I have a ticket to their show at the Vic here in Chicago! (And I’ll be seeing Luke and Alex and company on tour in October, too. Drool-worthy, ladies. You should join me. My life is starting to sound a little cooler than before.)
Still trying to find people to make music with here. I haven’t had my accordion for the last 10 months, so I’m trying to get acclimated to it again, and misplaced my “learn the accordion” books somewhere. But my viola is in good shape, and I just put new strings on my guitar, so if anyone wants to jam, let me know!
