Ernest Greene, Aka Washed Out, Was All Over The Internets Yesterday After Announcing His Sub Pop Full-length
Ernest Greene, aka Washed Out, was all over the internets yesterday after announcing his Sub Pop full-length debut (out July 12). Additionally it's mentioned he's coming around the Bay with a gig at the Great American Music Hall a few days prior on July 9th. I'm totally stoked...in that chillwave kinda-way.
Streaming from the upcoming Within and Without, is "Eyes Be Closed" - a track undoubtedly influenced by Enya, and that standing outside a phonebooth song.
EDIT (7/20): Two days ago Domino Records (by way of Subpop) released the "short beautiful visual piece" for "Eyes Be Closed," which can be now be seen above.

My 14-year-old kid sister Caroline is obsessed with Kid Cudi. In fact, this past Mother's Day when we talked music, she pined over tickets to his show on June 19th at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in SF, which of course, are sold out. This is while now family-favorite Florence + the Machine is playing on the stereo out on my older sister's deck, where we all share homemade sopapillas and good drink.
I was already hoping to scoop some tickets off Craigslist to Florence for the June 12th show at the Greek Theater in Berkeley and taking Caroline. This of course, to solidify my standing, as all-time best older sister #1.
With tickets soaring to over $75 a pop (I'm not desperate, I've seen Flo twice already), the odds of purchase are not good. Especially when there's a consellation like this track - a fantastic mashup by Riley Keating (known as R3K), fusing Cudi's verses off Dan Black's "Symphonies" with Flo's "Cosmic Love."
By the way, when I sent this track to my sister, she replied, "oh...my...god! i LOVE it! LOVEEE ITTTTT!!!"
Three months and counting.
I was always thinking of games I was playing...
St. Etienne, the early 90s English indie-dance act that inexplicably covered a Neil Young classic and garnered their first and only US club hit. Here's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart."
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
